  1. Using Mechanical Fasteners to Assemble Plastic Parts Dane Taylor Ray McKee Jason Saggese

  2. Purpose • Explain Mechanical Fasteners in Plastics • Designing for Various of Fasteners • Effects of Using Fasteners

  3. Outline • Types of Fasteners • Inserts • Effects of Fastener Uses • Design Considerations • Material Property Effect

  4. Types • Permanent Assemblies • Pre-molded Insert • Rivets • Key Headed Screws

  5. Types • Non-Permanent Assemblies • Thread Cutting Screws • Thermosetting • High Modulus Materials • Thread Forming Screws • Semi-Crystalline • <200,000 psi Modulus

  6. Types • Non-Permanent Assemblies • Molded-in Threaded Inserts • Positioning • Nuts and Bolts

  7. Types • Specially Designed • Thread Pitch and Angle • Trilobe • 1,000,00 Modulus • Push-in • Double Lead

  8. Inserts • Molded-in Threaded • Expansion • Cap Nuts • Helically Coiled • Ultrasonic Insertion

  9. Effects of Fastener Uses • Machine Screws vs. Plastic Designed Screws • Automated Assembly Lines • Molding Technique

  10. Effects of Fastener Uses • Problems • Thread Stripping from Disassembly/Assembly • Poor Design • Extended Cycle Time

  11. Design Considerations • Bosses • Inner Diameter • Pitch Diameter of Screw • Outer Diameter • 2.5 X ID

  12. Design Considerations • Bosses • Length • Thread forming • Minimum – 2.5 X Pitch Diameter • Thread Cutting • At least – 3 X Diameter

  13. Design Considerations • Assembly • Deflection • Surface Area of Screw Head • Washers • Tapping • Ductile Materials • Cold Flow • Heat During Drilling

  14. Material Property Effects • Stiffness • Acceptance Without Cracking • Crystallinity • Deforms around Screws • Annealing • Reduces Creep • Greater Life Expectancy
