Does anyone ever use a floating brass insert for plastics?
Does anyone ever use a floating brass insert for plastics?
(OP)
I am looking for a brass insert which can be floating in the plastics to compensate the center misalignment with the screw. Is it existing from some catalog?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Right now, inserts are molded-in.

I typically look to Dodge when specifying a threaded insert into plastic. Their products are pretty standard and readily available from distributors or suppliers of equivalent inserts.

The op stated brass inserts to compensate for misalignment.
Is this REALLY just an in-mould brass insert?
Okok - more info please!!

I can't imagine how you would keep the plastic from filling the gap between the fixed piece and the floating piece, so you couldn't mold one in.
Maybe press fit or ultrasonic, etc.
OR, for a design challenge, you could put a regular insert into a boss that's laterally flexible enough to accommodate some misalignment.
