About Moulded-In Inserts

Moulded-in inserts are loaded into the tool before the shot and the plastic flows around them. That gives the highest pull-out and torque performance of any insert type, which is why they're used on load-bearing and safety-related parts. Blind-ended designs are often chosen to stop plastic creeping into the thread during moulding.

Fasteners for the Automotive Industry

Vehicle makers and their suppliers use more plastic every year to save weight, and every plastic part needs a secure fixing. Threaded inserts, compression limiters, thread forming screws and spring steel clips all play a part in holding trim, covers, brackets and under-bonnet components together th

Choosing the Right Moulded-In Inserts

Moulding-in adds a loading step to the cycle, so it pays to be sure it's the right call. Harrison Silverdale can talk through moulded-in, heat set and press-in options and help weigh performance against cycle time and cost.
