PEM® CastSert™ Threaded Insert Fastener Installation

PEM® CastSert™ threaded inserts for soft metals and die-cast alloys are now available in standard thread sizes ranging from #2-56 to ¼-20 and M2.5 to M6 in two lengths per thread size. The simple press-in and rapid installation process for these inserts uses a flat punch and anvil to install all sizes and lengths, approximately 80% faster than other methods.
Benefits include:
• Designed for installation flush with flat punch and anvil into blind holes or thru-holes
• Process cost savings vs. coil inserts or thread tapping
• Installed into drilled holes or as-cast holes with low draft angle
• Pilot for rapid seating and self-alignment
• Symmetric for auto-feed capability
