Improving Snapfit Design (Parts I & II)
by Chul Lee, BASF
This series of articles provides a basic overview of snap-fit design types and their applications, as well as traditional and improved formulas for snap-fit strength and assembly force. The series also reviews common causes of snap-fit failure and how to overcome them, appropriate materials and processing considerations. Both articles provide links to BASF’s Snap-Fit Design Manual for a downloadable document with discussions of the issues presented here, access to an on-line tool of BASF’s improved formulas for calculating snap-fit design’s deflection and strain, enrollment information for BASF’s Plastics Seminar “Part Design - Assembly of Components,” and reprints of technical articles pertinent to various snap-fit topics.
Why pay for base coating, when you don't have to!
BASF's new Ultradur® B 4560 PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) is a direct
metallizable material which eliminates base-coat operations and reduces
your costs by cutting several steps out of the manufacturing process.
New PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone) available for your most challenging applications
New PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone) available for your most challenging
applications – combines the high melting temperature of Ultrason® E (PES)
with the low water absorption of Ultrason® S (PSU), while maintaining high
chemical resistance.
