2023年5月19日 · Designing screw bosses requires adherence to specific guidelines to ensure accuracy and optimal performance. Various injection molding design principles are recommended for screw boss design. These guidelines take into account factors such as the size, shape, and location of the boss.

Proper fastener selection may allow the bosses and eliminate the need for supplementary devices. This can reduce in-place costs. Type B, type AB and other standard fasteners have a wide thread profile (also called flank angle) of 60°. Special fasteners for plastics have special thread profiles to meet the needs of these unique materials.

2023年8月23日 · When designing screw bosses, we need to consider factors such as wall thickness, boss height, draft angles, minimum radius, and more. In this section, I’ll guide you through the basic design guidelines to help you incorporate …

Bosses are used for the purpose of registration of mating parts or for attaching fasteners such as screws or accepting threaded inserts (molded-in, press-fitted, ultrasonically or thermally inserted). The wall thicknesses should be less than 60 % of nominal wall to minimize sinking.

A well-designed boss screw is strong, can be rapidly assembled, and is resistant to part failure. In terms of functionality, it should withstand tension, compression, torsion, and flexing. When a boss screw is being considered for a molded part, you must consider its function and the type of force that will be applied during the assembly.

What is a screw boss? Screw bosses in injection molding are protrusions on plastic parts that serve multiple purposes. They enhance part strength, act as points of assembly and attachment, and can accommodate threaded inserts, screws, and other mechanical fasteners.

2024年4月3日 · In this detailed guide, we shall focus on the most critical points regarding the design of screw bosses. We will see why screw bosses are so crucial in making plastic parts by examining the different types of screw bosses and their applications and will also give some tips on how to design them.

The principle of bosses design for self-tapping screws is: its outer diameter should be 2.0 to 2.4times the outer diameter of the screw. In real-world design: boss outer diameter = 2×screw outer diameter; boss inner diameter (ABS, ABS+PC) = screw outer diameter -0.40mm; boss inner diameter (PC) = screw outer diameter -0.30-0.35mm (during ...
