What is TEPRO®? The brand name TEPRO® stands for engineering plastic products and subassemblies – tailor-made, precise and functional. Do you have any special requirements regarding the shape, colour and function of your component? Are you looking for tight, high-precision, tolerance-compensating or adjustable solutions, for example? In that case we are your solution. The TEPRO® range is subdivided into the following categories: design parts, subassemblies, precision parts, clip / plug-in connections, two-component products and TEPRO® K’ in K’ – a Böllhoff innovation. n Design parts and...

TEPRO® – Applications in perfection Our design parts are a real sight Bar closures Bar closures are used for stowage boxes for trays, first-aid kits and triangular safety reflectors, for example. The TEPRO® turn bar system is installed in the boot on the flap of the side stowage box. It consists of a knob, a bar, a detent washer and a housing completely made of plastic. To install the turn bar system, first the housing is pushed into the receptacle in the side flap. Then it is locked into place with the washer from below so that the system is captively secured on the component. After that,...

Subassemblies, joining what belongs together Load floor handle Function: The flush-mount handle can be opened by application of slight pressure so that you can reach under the handle with your hand. When the handle is lifted, a locking cylinder is retracted so that the load floor can be pulled up. After the handle is actuated, it automatically retrieves to the flush position and locks the load floor to prevent accidental opening. Your advantages – an overview: n No noise emission due to spring preload Closed surface Locked load floor Function knob The function knob consists of two elements:...

TEPRO® – Applications in perfection Precision parts – when precision is needed Assembly lock The assembly lock serves to set the manual transmission in cars. It is installed in a die-cast aluminium housing through press fitting. Over the entire application range from -40 to +120 °C it is 100 % tightly fitted – with no need for any additional locking! Locked between the 1st and 2nd gear it allows to adjust the length of the Bowden cable between gear lever and gearbox. It is also oil-tight. Your advantages – an overview: n Oil tightness is achieved by the parts geometry and the use of an...

TEPRO® K’ in K’ securely screwed into plastics Window stop For this screw joint principle (K' in K'), thread geometry is of decisive importance, since K' in K' threads have to self-form or self-tap a "holding thread" into pre-fabricated cylindrical drill holes. The K' in K' system is characterised by special thread profiles. The different system variants are self-locking, self-forming, adjustable and tolerance-compensating. Your advantages – an overview: n Resists shear forces of 600 N Reduced costs due to full-plastic solution Noise insulation Reverse lock A specially developed window...

TEPRO® – Applications in perfection Two-component products – several components in one Function: The bottom part is fastened to the top component by means of a bracket and consists of two materials: a hard material for clipping to the top part and a soft material for the SNAPLOC® function. The SNAPLOC® basic principle is a two-part system consisting of a coupling and a ball stud. Inside the coupling there is a ball socket which the ball stud as the counterpart can snap into. Fastening knob Two-component injection moulding is a special method of injection moulding technology. What is so...

Clipping – doing things the speedy way As an expert in fastening technologies, of course we also offer clip and plug-in connections. Those fasteners stand for quick, secure and thus cost-effective fastening of e.g. cables, covers and coverings. Clip and plug-in connections are not only increasingly used in the automotive industry because in today's technology-oriented industry time is becoming ever more important. Optimised assembly processes are the key to efficient production. A screw-in operation, for example, takes about six seconds. So very quickly considerable assembly times can...
