b&m-REPTO® M
Threaded insert for overmolding with different outer contours in plastics
The b&m-REPTO® M is a threaded insert for overmolding with the function of connecting screws with plastic components in a reliable and reproducible manner.
Plastic flows around it in a form-fit already during the production of the component. With this method the outer contour can be given any desired undercut and anti-rotation elements, where the design focus is on the future load. With this optimized surface contour, which creates a form-fit with the plastic in injection molding, large force transmissions can be achieved.
- Diameter: M3 – M8
- Length: 6.9mm – 12.7mm
- Material: brass, steel, stainless steel and aluminum (also available lead-free)
- Special characteristics: customer-specific undercuts and contours
- Torque absorption: hexagon and knurl
- Axial force absorption: circular grooves and knurls
- Installation by overmolding allows undercuts to be filled in a form-fit and forces to be transmitted optimally
- High reproducibility
- Minor acquisitions necessary
- In case of special demands, the geometry can be adapted to customer requirements without limitation
- Universal application for a large variety of materials
- Unreinforced thermoplastics
- Highly reinforced thermoplastics (up to 50% glass fiber content)
- Unreinforced and reinforced thermosets
