Features of hot riveted threaded inserts:
Heat Staking threaded inserts are a technique used to create strong, durable threaded connections in plastics or composite materials. Unlike self-tapping threaded inserts, heat staking threaded inserts use heat and mechanical pressure to secure the insert into the material. Here are some key facts about heat staking threaded inserts:
Features of hot riveted threaded inserts:
Heat Installation: Heat riveted inserts are heated during installation, usually by an electric heating element or hot air gun to a specific temperature that softens the base material of the insert.
Mechanical fixing: After heating, the insert is pressed into the pre-designed hole and forms a strong connection after cooling.
Applicable Materials: Hot riveting technology is commonly used for thermoplastics and certain composite materials, and is suitable for applications that require lightweight and high-strength connections.
Strength and Durability: Heat-riveted threaded inserts offer good tensile strength and durability, suitable for withstanding repeated mechanical stresses.
No thread damage: Since the insert is heat riveted in the plastic, there is no damage to the threads, ensuring a good thread fit.
