AMTEC® thread inserts for plastics

Highly wear-resistant thread inserts for plastic parts

AMTEC® stands for "After Moulding TEChnology" and refers to the installation of thread inserts into plastic components after moulding.

Shorter injection cycles and thus lower manufacturing costs for plastic components
Safe, stress-free anchorage
High pull-out and torsion values
Any repeated screwing as opposed to self-forming screws

HITSERT® thermal installation
- Ideal for thermoplastic components
- Conical design
- Rational installation due to processing machines ranging from hand tools to fully automatic machines
The HITSERT® thread insert is heated to the melting temperature of the plastic. As a result of the heat transfer upon insertion, the plastic can flow into the undercut of the thread insert. Upon cooling, a low-stress interference is realised.
QUICKSERT® self-tapping insertion
- Ideal for brittle and ductile plastics and glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastics
- Variant with or without flange
- Self-tapping insertion with rotating mandrel
- QUICKSERT® hex variant with hexagon socket for even more efficient insertion
SONICSERT® ultrasonic installation
- Ideal for thermoplastic components
- Insertion by ultrasonic installation
Upon ultrasonic installation, the plastic is liquified so that it can flow into the undercut of the SONICSERT® thread insert. Upon cooling, a low-stress interference is realised.
