What is your recommended diameter of the boss?

Clinserts® are often installed at the side of a plate or close to the edge of a surface. 

The danger exists, when installed to close that performance is influenced, and you do not obtain enough pull out strengths.
 

•  Clinserts® at the side of an edge:

  • General rule is to install with a drill distance of (0,8mm minimum + 1/2 diameter of the drilled hole) recommendation to put all Clins as far as possible from the edge
    • Example 1:with CLM8, outside diameter = M12,  drill distance can be 6,8mm.
    • Example 2 with CLM5, outside diameter = M8, drill distance can be 4,8mm.
    • Example 3 with CLHM20, outside diameter = M30, drill distance can be 15.8mm.
  • Tap marks may show on the flat side and the insert should be positioned with keys 45°to 90° (2 Clins) offset from the flat side.

• Clinserts® in a Boss:

  • General rule is to install the Clinserts® in a boss with minimum outside diameter = 1,5 x diameter of the outside thread of the Clinserts®

    • Example 1: CLM8x1,25 with an outside diameter of M12 your boss diameter needs to be 18mm.
    • Example 2: CLM5x0,8 with an outside diameter of M8 your boss diameter needs to be 12mm.
    • Example 3: CLHM20x2,5 with an outside diameter of M30 your boss diameter needs to be 45mm
