E-Z LOK's E-Z Press Threaded Inserts for Plastic provide a robust and reliable threading solution for post-molding applications. Engineered for simplicity and strength, the insert is pressed cold into a 3D printed or pre-drilled hole in either thermoset or thermoplastic materials. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only basic tools like a rubber mallet or an arbor press, which eliminates the complexities and costs associated with heated installation methods. Once installed, the knurled surface bites securely into the plastic, resulting in superior resistance to both torque-out and pull-out forces and ensuring a durable threaded connection. A significant advantage of this insert is its ability to be installed properly without requiring an exact hole depth, simplifying the preparation process. By enabling cold installation, the E-LOK threaded insert helps reduce overall part rejection rates and assembly time, as there is no need to clean or chase threads after the molding process. This combination of ease of use, material strength, and design efficiency makes it an ideal choice for creating strong, reusable threads in plastic components.
