Quik-Tek Inserts

QT Series Inserts

The advantages:
Ideal for thermoplastic parts
Especially designed for thermal installation
Screw-locked and low-tension anchoring
High pull-out values
Efficient installation due to single-spindle, 
multiple spindle or automatic machines with preheating device
Designed for thermoplastic plastics (PPS. ABS、PP etc.)

   
Installation:
The QT thread insert is heated to the melting temperature of the plastic.
As a result of the heat transfer upon insertion,the plastic is plasticised for a short
time and flows into the undercut of the thread insert.Upon cooling,a low-stress
interference is realised.

How do you unscrew a threaded insert?

Unscrewing a threaded insert can be difficult, especially if it is firmly secured or the surrounding material is damaged. Here are some methods you can use to remove a threaded insert:

1. Drilling
Materials Required: Drill and Drill Bit.
Steps:
Drill into the insert: Use a drill bit that is slightly larger than the inside diameter of the insert. Carefully drill into the center of the insert.
Remove the Insert: When drilling, the insert may break or become loose and need to be removed with pliers or a magnet.

2. Heating method (for metal inserts)
Materials Required: A heat source (such as a soldering iron or heat gun).
Steps:
Heat: Carefully apply heat to the insert. This can help the metal expand and break up any adhesive or corrosion that may be holding it in place.
Unscrew: After heating, use pliers to turn the insert counterclockwise.


Tip:
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when using tools.
If the insert is made of delicate material, be careful to avoid damaging the surrounding area.
If you are unsure or the insert is particularly stubborn, consider consulting a professional for help.
By following these methods, you should be able to successfully unscrew the threaded insert.
