Threaded insert Foamsert®

brassflat

Threaded inserts for structural foam, chipboard and fibre board The Foamsert® is a special version of the well established Trisert® but with a very coarse truncated external thread form. Like the Trisert® it has three equidistant cutting flutes over the length of the external form and it is this unique combination that makes the Foamsert ideally suited for use in structural foam materials, laminated chipboards, medium density fibre board & engineered woods and certain types of glass reinforced plastics (not Carbon-fibre – consider Trisert-3®). Continuous product development has led to a headed version of the Foamsert® providing all the benefits of the headed Trisert® in an expanded range of materials. This innovative design adds a significant degree of versatility to the existing inserts for plastics. Both the Double Ended and Reduced Headed versions are installed using a reversible driving mechanism. Foamsert® – Double Ended (040 prefix) Product Features The most significant additional features of the Foamsert compared to the Trisert are the larger external diameter, length and coarse truncated external thread form. Three equidistant cutting flutes, over the length of the external form, give a more balanced cutting load than other forms of self-tapping insert. The cutting action takes place at a larger number of points on the thread form over the length and circumference of the insert.
