Compression Limiters for Bolted Plastic Joints

When it comes to compression limiters for bolted plastic joints, Harrison Silverdale brings together the right product range, proper engineering know-how and a quality system approved to ISO 9001:2015.

About Compression Limiters

Bolt a plastic part down hard and the plastic creeps, relaxes and loses clamp load over time. A compression limiter is a metal sleeve that sits in the bolt hole and takes the clamping force, so the plastic doesn't. The joint stays tight, the part doesn't crack and the fastener can be torqued properly.

Choosing the Right Compression Limiters

Length, wall thickness, material and the retention feature all need to suit the part and the bolt. Harrison Silverdale can help specify compression limiters that fit the moulding and hold their place during assembly.

Typical Applications

• Plastic parts bolted to metal structures
