Brass inserts strengthen plastic mould cavities
A new range of brass press-in inserts is designed for easy installation in plastics with either an arbour press or a fully automatic machine.
Both are available for M3 to M8 bolt sises and in lengths from 3 to 20mm to suit the length of the fastening.
They are made from brass and can be either moulded or pressed into position.
The compression limiter absorbs the load when the bolt has been tightened to its recommended value.
It isolates the plastic from any excessive compression loads with individual compression limiters having rated load levels from 2.20 to 17.04kN.
All versions have square ends to ensure optimum contact with the mating surface and the knurl feature ensures excellent retention values.
The headed CL111 version eliminates the need for a washer. Request a free brochure from Spirol Industries ...
