Absorbing Centerline and Stack-Up Tolerances with Oval Compression Limiters
When assembling multiple components with two or more
fastening/joining points, there is an increased importance on
the location of the Compression Limiters within the plastic
component. Compression Limiters must not only align
with the mating components, but also maintain a defined
centerline tolerance with each other. (Centerline tolerance
defines the maximum allowable misalignment between two
or more components in an assembly.) This will ensure that the
accumulated misalignment remains within acceptable limits
so the components maintain their relative positions and can
be securely fastened at multiple points within the assembly.
