The Post Molded Threaded Insert, part number 94520, from Stanley Engineered Fastening - Spiralock, features a unique self-locking thread design that enhances the reliability of threaded joints by preventing vibration loosening. This insert is designed for press-fit installation into drilled or molded holes, eliminating the need for heat or ultrasonic methods. The barbed configuration allows for effective engagement with the surrounding material, providing strong pull-out resistance. The product is suitable for various applications across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics, where secure fastening is critical.
These inserts are press-fit into a drilled or molded hole after the molding process has been completed. The process of press-fitting inserts allows users to install inserts without the use of heat or ultrasonics. This is accomplished by placing the insert into the appropriate hole size and driving it into place with a simple press. The “barbed” configuration of these inserts displaces the plastic as it travels into the hole. The plastic then springs back into the grooves between barbs, providing pull-out resistance.
