PlasTORX® overmolding stud
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.
