PEM SI® Solid Body Press-In Inserts

Introduction

The PEM SI® Solid Body Press-In Inserts are innovative components designed to enhance the performance of threaded connections in various materials, particularly in harder plastics. With their unique retention fin design, these inserts provide superior pullout resistance, making them a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.

Part Description

PEM SI® Solid Body Press-In Inserts are non-slotted, cold-press inserts that create strong, reusable threads without the need for heat or ultrasonic installation methods. Their retention fin design significantly improves pullout performance compared to standard solid body press-in inserts. These inserts are particularly effective in harder plastics, achieving impressive pullout values in materials like ABS plastic, with larger sizes capable of withstanding up to 142 lbs. of pullout force. The inserts are available in various configurations, including standard straight-wall and flanged-head designs, catering to different installation needs and tensile load requirements.
