          ITA- Inserts

          ITA- Series Inserts

          The advantages:   
          Injection molding embedding, available in aluminum, brass and stainless steel materials products
          Diamond knurled design can provide strong torque and pulling force
          Suitable for thermoplastic plastics and thermosetting plastics
           
          Installation instruction:
          Please put the threaded inserts into a reserved core pins, then closed the mold and mold it together with the plastic.
          The core pin is designed to match the bottom hole of the thread or be designed according to the size table.
          If the core pin is smaller, it will cause the platic overflow into the internal thread; if the pin oversize, it will cause the inserts failed put into.

          Key Factors for Success with In-sail Precision Parts

          When planning to use inserts from a manufacturer like In-sail, focusing on these three areas is crucial for a successful outcome:

          1. Design the Plastic Boss Correctly: The plastic feature that holds the insert (the "boss") must be designed to support it.

            • Wall Thickness: As a rule of thumb, the boss's outer diameter should be at least 2.5 to 3 times the insert's outer diameter.

            • Avoid Sink Marks: Design ribs or gussets to ensure even cooling and prevent surface defects.

            • Consider In-sail's Specifications: Always refer to the specific technical data sheet for the chosen insert series for recommended hole sizes and boss designs.

          2. Select the Optimal Insert Material: As discussed, the insert's metal must suit the application's environment.

            • Standard Indoor Use: Zinc-plated carbon steel is cost-effective.

            • Humid/Chemical Environments: Stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) or brass from In-sail's range is essential.

            • Weight-Critical Applications: Consider their aluminum options.

          3. Follow Precise Installation Protocols: The installation method is part of the product specification.

            • Pilot Hole Size: This is critical. An undersized hole can crack the plastic; an oversized hole will result in poor retention. Use the exact drill bit size specified by In-sail.

            • Controlled Process: Whether using a hand tool, press, or automated system, apply steady, axial force. Avoid hammering or off-angle insertion.
