Moulded-in inserts resist twist and pull-out
Brass moulded-in inserts feature hexagonal heads and a large centre undercut to provide a high level of bi-directional torque resistance and contribute to high pull-out/pull-through strength.
The CL101 is unheaded and the CL111 as a headed compression limiter.
Both are available for M3 to M8 bolt sizes and in lengths of 3mm 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 2.20kN 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 ...
