self-tapping threaded Ensat® is a self-tapping threaded in- sert with external and internal threads, cutting slots or cutting bores. A continuous process of further deve- lopment has brought about a number of major improvements to product cha- racteristics. These inserts are protected by German and also foreign patents. The Ensat is screwed into a pre-formed or pre-d ri I led receiving hole and so automatically taps its own thread into the hole wall. This ensures a backlash- free fit with extreme loading capacity. nsert with 3 longitudinal grooves The Ensat is used throughout the whole of the metal and plastics pro- cessing industry. Automotive industry A wide range of supply parts such as wing mirrors, engines, transmissions Household appliance and office machinery production Vacuum cleaners, cameras, sun lamps, Capacitors, radio and telecommunica- tion systems, dental technology equip- Plant and equipment construction Sports equipment Tennis rackets, ski bindings etc. ENSAT female thread — Product features • Universal application for all types of plastic, thermoset plastics, thermoset plastics, PU/PUR foam, fibreglass reinforced plastics, for hardwood and plywood, hard paper and metal. • Maximum strength values in compa- rison to other systems. The diagram illustrates the withdrawing force in thermoplastic materials: In thermoset plastics and glass fibre reinforced plastics, the values tend to be higher. • Thin-walled Ensat for restricted space conditions (residual wall thickness- es), and also suitable for screwing in using a thread tapping machine (same inside and outside pitch). Slot version Three-hole version These cutting bores are shaped to serve as chip reservoirs. The chips created during the driving process are stored here and cannot drop into sensitive equipment parts.

... technologies for a reliable hold The Ensat® in the workpiece ... Installation recommendation Example The Ensat should be processed appr. 0,1 - 0,2 mm recessed. After processing, the Ensat can be immediately subjected to load. If the component material permits subsidence of the Ensat under load, the Ensat can only execute an axial movement of 0,1 to 0,2 mm. In other words, the pretension of the screw union is largely retained, loosening of the screw connection under dynamic load is impeded.

... technologies for a reliable hold Machine installation ... Machine driving process 1. Precisely position the workpiece to ensure that the hole and machine spindle are in exact alignment (do not tilt). Set the machine to the precise driving depth (appr. 0,1 – 0,2 mm below the surface of the workpiece). 2. Turn the machine to clockwise rotation. At the start of the driving process, the rotatable external shell of the tool must be resting against the external visible stop pins in such a way that it is driven by the pins in the clockwise direction. Machine installation takes place with production...
