NEW: threaded insert by PENN Engineering

The new microPEM® Type MSI™ thru-threaded inserts for plastic are designed for use in straight or tapered holes. The symmetrical design eliminates the need for orientation.

They are installed by pressing them into the mounting hole with ultrasonic insertion equipment. Frictional heat caused by the vibration melts the plastic surrounding the insert allowing easy insertion. When the vibration ceases, the plastic solidifies, locking the insert permanently in place.

Type MSI inserts can also be installed by pressing the insert into the mounting hole with a thermal press to melt the plastic surrounding the insert.
