b&m-REPTO® U
Threaded insert for ultrasonic embedding into plastics
The b&m-REPTO® U is a threaded insert for ultrasonic embedding with the function of connecting screws with plastic components in a reliable and reproducible manner.
The outer contour is characterized by knurls and grooves, optimally designed for tensile and torque loads, making them suitable for embedding via ultrasound. During assembly, the surface of the plastic is melted through the generated friction and the axial pressure, thus adapting itself to the outer contour.
