E-Z LOK, a leading manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood has expanded its E-Z Press™ line with stainless steel and brass inserts, while E-Z Sonic™ added stainless steel inserts.

These inserts are designed for post-molding installation in thermoplastic materials such as:  acrylic, polypropylene and PVC. Features include tapered or straight designs, installation with a heat drive or ultrasonic horn, superior torque and pull-out resistance, inch or metric threads, tapered design and single vane and straight design in flush or flanged configuration.

E-Z Sonic™ heat staking inserts for thermoplastics work well with 3D printing applications and products made from similar materials. They require heat generation to melt the plastic around the insert for proper installation. Meanwhile, E-Z Press™ threaded inserts for plastic are designed for both thermoset plastics and thermoplastics.  Available in flush, flanged and reverse slot, they are created specifically for “cold” installation using anything from a rubber mallet to an arbor press.

Straight E-Z Sonic™ Ultrasonic inserts allow for thinner boss walls. Flush heat stake permits installation even with or below the material surface, while flanged inserts are ideal for electrical connections or for additional pull-out resistance in reverse installations. Furthermore, E-Z Sonic™ straight ultrasonic threaded inserts feature a lead-in pilot to facilitate installation and are available from #2 to 3/8.

Tapered E-Z Sonic™ Ultrasonic inserts are designed to reduce installation time, particularly in production runs, while maintaining outstanding performance characteristics.  Internal threads from #2 to 3/8 and M2.5 to M6 are available.
