 2 VARIATIONS FOR FALL-OUT PROTECTION
CLAWS NOSES
• N o additional element on plastic part necessary • P revents damaging of clearance hole during
• Self-centering assembly by 3-point contact assembly process
in clearance hole • Homogeneous load distribution on anti-creeping
• Small demand of installation space ring by constant thrust face
• Protection against fall-out by circumferential
plastic neck
