Soft components without compression limiters are destroyed during fastening as a result of the necessary screwing forces. The load causes compression, which can lead to cracking and creep due to tightening torque.
To prevent this, Vogelsang Fastener Solutions offers compression limiters with non-threaded inserts — designed to protect plastic, wood, and rubber parts from loads created by the tightening of bolts. Inch and metric available.
Compression limiters ensure that the normal force of the screw is limited with respect to the plastic component’s permissible load, and in doing so, they protect the components from damage.
Vogelsang’s compression limiters are fabricated per statutory regulations using the roll-bending process for rolled tubular products. There are multiple design options to ensure the limiters incorporate the shape, material, and features required based on your application.
Volgelsang offers a punch-press manufacturing process that proivdes substantial cost savings over other products and allows for a variety of additional features as needed.
If the compression limiters require features that typically have to be machined into a cut tube, through a secondary process, the company’s wrapped metal split seam compression limiters can provide the same if not more features at no increase in piece price and little expense in initial tooling.
