for brittle and ductile plastics, e.g. unsaturated polyester resins (SMC, injection moulding of glass fibre reinforced plastic), polyurethane and glass fibre reinforced thermoplasts

* yellow chromated = unhardened, white chromated = hardened
The QUICKSERT® consists of a cylindrical body with a female thread and a special outer thread. The outer thread profile features an extremely low angle and increases asymmetrically to the root of the thread. Installation with a low screwing torque is therefore optimised. With an ideal distribution of load, a high performance fixing is achieved. The insert has a cutting slot across the base. A version with a flange is available for special requirements. The threaded insert is inserted by self-tapping using a rotating spindle.
Chipping-free installation in smooth location holes
Stable thread in light alloys
Stable thread in thermoplastic and thermoset materials** after removal from the mould
Suitable for one-sided accessibility of the insertion site
For screw connections to be separated as often as required
Can be installed in already finished surfaces Material: 9 SMnPb 28 K, zinc-plated, chromated*, or Cu Zn 38 Pb 2
** This insert is to be specifically checked for suitability for stress crack-susceptible materials (e.g. PC, PPO).
Principle
The QUICKSERT® expansion insert is spun onto the rotating threaded mandrel of the setting tool and introduced into the locating hole. The latter may be preformed or machined with commercially available drills as a blind or through hole. The axial loading of the threaded mandrel causes the QUICKSERT® to shear at the predetermined point between the anchoring sleeve and the threaded section. The latter is drawn into and expands the anchoring sleeve, forcing the knurls into the hole wall. The threaded insert is now anchored and protected against distortion and pull-out.
