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.

Fasteners for the Automotive Industry

Vehicle makers and their suppliers use more plastic every year to save weight, and every plastic part needs a secure fixing. Threaded inserts, compression limiters, thread forming screws and spring steel clips all play a part in holding trim, covers, brackets and under-bonnet c

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.
