Inserts for soft materials
SOFTERFIX™ - Inserts
SOFTERFIX™ inserts for overmoulding or insertion are the solution to obtaining a re-usable tapping or threading function in soft materials (thermoplastic, thermosetting materials, wood…).
Main functions
- Indefinitely re-usable tapping, offering a constant tension in the assembly
Advantages of SOFTERFIX™ - Inserts
- Indefinitely re-usable tapping
- Different designs are available, open and closed end, in order to comply with the expected technical requirements
- Option of applying the tightening torque to the bolt corresponding to the required assembly tension without damage to the plastic workpiece
- Reinforced axial mechanical resistance, achieved through on demand adjustable insert implantation length
Think SOFTERFIX™ - Inserts as an alternative to
Tapping:
- a long and costly process
- relaxation of the plastic material results in decreased clamping force
Self-tapping screw:
- the clamping force in the assembly is highly variable from one workpiece to another because it depends on a variable friction coefficient for a single torque applied to the screw
- relaxation of the plastic material results in decreased clamping force
- the admissible traction force is limited
