When to choose PlasTORX® stud?

PlasTORX® overmolding studs are an excellent choice for applications in which the stud has to be molded into plastic, offering a reliable alternative to other fasteners assemblies. PlasTORX® studs provide exceptionally high resistance to rotation and pull-out, ensuring a secure fit even in thermoplastics susceptible to cracking or breaking.

As a proven solution in insert molding applications, PlasTORX® studs are widely used in industries such as electronics, automotive, and other sectors where insert molding is demanded.

How does it work?

PlasTORX® overmolding studs are designed to be molded directly into plastic applications, which increases assembly efficiency. The stud is inserted easily into the mold, plastic flows through the hex-lobular TORX® configuration providing maximum resistance to rotation and pull-out.

Benefits

  • Hex-lobular TORX® configuration provides deep lobe engagement, resulting in:
    • Increased torsional resistance for greater durability.
    • Improved pull-out resistance, ensuring a secure fit.
    • Reduced stress risers, minimizing the chance of damage to the material.
  • Ideal for use in materials prone to cracking, thanks to their design that applies less stress during installation.
  • Engineered to be molded directly into plastic components, enabling the installation of multiple fasteners simultaneously:
    • Reduced assembly time for greater efficiency.
    • Fewer part numbers, its standardized head design simplifies inventory and lowers associated costs.
    • Lower overall production costs.
