TRI-STEP™ is a unique three stepped threaded insert and mating hole combination designed for heat or ultrasonic installation into thermoplastic materials. The design incorporates two diameters of opposing helical knurls and a series of annular vanes.
Available in three designs: high strength oversize, thin walled and miniature; all ranges provide high performance, excellent location, reduced insertion time and low in-place cost.
Advantages :
High pull-out and direct torque performance.
Reduced insertion time
Excellent location
No insert spring back after installation
Increased surface contact area with mating component giving greater resistance to a torque induced jack-out.
Available in 3 ranges: High Strength Oversize, Thin Walled and Miniature.
Available in Brass, Aluminium, Steel & Stainless Steel.
All ranges provide low in-place cost
Aluminium versions give a 66% weight reduction and insertion process cost savings.
Product Range :
High Strength - -
The High Strength version was primarily developed for the automotive industry. -
Thin Walled
The Thin Walled versions for applications where very high strength and an oversize design is not required. -
