Threaded inserts are designed to provide strong, expertly engineered fastening support in materials and situations where standard attachment or threads won’t suffice. For over 40 years, the Stanley Engineered Fastening brand has worked to design revolutionary inserts, compression limiters, and tools to support these systems.
Dodge Threaded Inserts
Emanating from the Stanley brand, Dodge inserts have been built on years of experience in dozens of industries. Offering metallic thread performance in otherwise plastic parts, the inserts can be post-mold assembled or insert-molded in a range of types and styles.
Dodge inserts suit virtually any plastic insert application, transforming a wide variety of parts
Threaded inserts can repair stripped threaded holes, offer additional support between metallic and plastic components, add threads without machining, and convert thread styles
As an economic advantage, Dodge inserts retain all of the cost efficiency of insert installation after molding
Compression Limiters
The tightening load of a bolt or screw can sometimes overwhelm a substrate, causing compression, cracking, or other damage. Dodge compression limiters are designed to protect plastic components and keep cracks out of your next project.
With flexible installation options, the components can be pressed or installed through heat or ultrasonic processes
Custom-designed for your application
Crafted with the specific intention of eliminating stress and damage from bold load
Installation Tools and Equipment
Dodge’s dedication to high strength and cost effective performance doesn’t stop at components. Available as hand-powered or semi-automatic tools, these pieces can be outfitted for both manual and powered presses.
Designed to work with expansion and self-threading inserts
Heat installation tools can be used to work with inserts in thermoplastic materials
Ultrasonic installation tools, ideal for the largest insert applications, permanently lock components into place by using vibration-generated heat for complete molding
