PSM International has recently introduced a new range of Compression Limiter Assemblies (CLA) for use in high load-bearing automotive plastic components. These application specific compression limiter and captive bolt assemblies help reduce cost by eliminating bolt handling at the production assembly stage. PSM worked closely with its customers and automotive OEM’s to develop a wide range of CLA that satisfy every exacting application requirement. They are simply cold pressed into a moulded hole in the plastic, remain captive and provide a controlled resistance to pushing out. This design achieves a defined radial float of the bolt ensuring the bolt thread is able to retract axially within the compression limiter.(…)
