SPIROL Datasheets for Compression Limiters

Compression limiters are a type of insert or bushing designed to protect plastic parts from damage by limiting the compressive force from the assembly bolts.

Product Name Notes
Produced from high carbon steel, the oval Series CL400 accommodates up to 2.25mm extra clearance on one axis, providing additional flexibility over round Compression Limiters for centerline and stack-up tolerancing.
Similar to the Series CL220, the CL200 Slim Profile Compression Limiter has a smaller inner diameter (ID) after insertion and a reduced overall profile with less clearance around the bolt.
The CL350 was designed with a thicker wall for increased bearing surface when clamped against soft mating materials. Generous bolt clearance also aids in positional alignment when multiple Compression Limiters...
The CL460 Series is similar to the oval Series CL400, but produced with a butted-seam so as to prevent plastic from entering the inner diameter during the molding process, and...
The CL6100 headed aluminum Compression Limiter is the same as the CL6000, with the addition of a head. The head provides extra bearing surface on the mating component when a...
The CL620 is designed for use in non-critical applications and industries with forgiving assembly requirements. Similar to the CL6000, the CL620 is manufactured from lightweight, lead-free aluminum, offered in a...
The CL8100 headed brass Compression Limiters are the same as the CL8000 with the addition of a head. Similar to the CL6100, the head provides extra bearing surface on the...
The Series CL220 Compression Limiter is produced from high carbon steel and intended for post-mold installation. The spring force generated during installation provides self-retention in the assembly. The flexible diameter...
The Series CL500 is produced from low carbon steel with a butted seam to prevent plastic from entering the inner diameter of the Compression Limiter during the molding process. This...
The Series CL6000 is machined from 2024 aluminum as this grade provides the best combination of strength, corrosion resistance, machinability and cost. Additional advantages of aluminum are that it is...
The Series CL8000 is machined from 360 brass. Similar to the CL6000, the CL8000 can be molded in or pressed into an assembly. The applications for SPIROL's brass and aluminum...
