Fastening systems for Plastics: reliable solutions for every industrial application

In the expansive landscape of industrial manufacturing, plastic materials are playing an increasingly central role. From lightweight structural components to intricate electronic housings, plastics offer versatility, durability, and cost-efficiency across countless applications. However, to fully harness the potential of these materials, reliable and purpose-built fastening systems are essential. This is where PSM CELADA Fasteners steps in with a comprehensive range of fasteners engineered for use with plastic components.

A complete line of fasteners for Plastics
PSM CELADA Fasteners provides a wide selection of components designed for plastic assemblies, including:
- Fasteners installed by heat or ultrasound
These inserts are installed into thermoplastics using heat staking or ultrasonic welding. Their reversed knurling patterns ensure exceptional resistance to torque and pull-out forces, while allowing for thin boss designs and quick installation processes.
- Fasteners for heat staking
Designed to be installed using thermal insertion equipment, these threaded inserts provide a reliable and repeatable bond into plastic at temperatures up to 500 °C. This category is ideal for mass production and offers tight dimensional tolerances, supporting thread sizes from M2 to M8.
- Self-tapping screws
These screws form threads as they are driven into plastic, offering strong and durable fastening, particularly suitable for both soft and reinforced plastic materials. Their geometry is optimized to reduce stress and improve engagement.
- Press-in and expansion fasteners
Ideal for thermoplastics and thermosets, these fasteners rely on friction or expansion to secure in place, enabling fast, reliable installation without the need for tapping or pre-threading.
- Fasteners for insert molding
Engineered to be integrated directly into the plastic molding process, these fasteners create strong, permanent connections and ensure optimal alignment and durability from the start.
- Compression limiters 
Critical for applications that require even force distribution and secure retention, especially in environments where vibration or repeated handling could lead to fastener loss.
- Sealing Inserts
These specialized components provide hermetic sealing, protecting sensitive assemblies from liquids, dust, and external contaminants. They’re particularly useful in electronic and outdoor applications.
