What is a compression limiter ?
Role and function
Compression limiters are essential components in plastic assemblies subjected to compressive loads. They can be used to :
- Reinforce the structure of the assembly
- Absorb and redistribute compression forces
- Protect the integrity of the plastic against excessive pressure
How it works
When a screw is tightened in the joint, the compression limiter :
- Takes the applied load
- Distributes the pressure evenly
- Prevents deformation or damage to the plastic
Benefits
The use of compression limiters offers a number of benefits:
- Increased durability of the joint
- Improved mechanical strength
- Extended product life
- Possibility of using plastic materials in high-load applications
Applications
These components are commonly used in a variety of fields, including:
- Automotive industry
- Consumer electronics
- Medical
- Aerospace
In conclusion, compression limiters play a crucial role in optimising plastic assemblies, enabling better management of mechanical stresses while preserving the integrity of the materials.
Custom manufacture
We produce custom-made compression limiters to your specifications, for a variety of industries and applications. We can produce different sizes and shapes to suit your assemblies.
We offer compression limiters in brass, aluminium, stainless steel or steel, with or without surface treatment. If required, we can supply quality documents (PPAP, EI report).
In addition to our standard engineering and manufacturing services, we offer a range of additional services that can be provided at your request, such as prototypes, 3D drawings, etc.
Our range
– Compression limiters can be installed by overmoulding, hot-insertion or pressure.
– The head helps to distribute the screw forces on the plastic more evenly (acts as a washer)
– The knurling improves the grip and adhesion of the limiter in the material.
– The oblong shape allows easier alignment during assembly.
