Self-clinch studs are fasteners that have a serration under the head. At inserting into the metal sheet it presses the displaced material into the rivet ring to secure the fastener. Sheet metal fasteners with internal and external threads are especially suitable for working with thin metal sheets starting with 0.5 mm thickness. This reduces the thickness of the elements in general in favour of lower weight and less material. Aft er processing they are permanently connected to the base material. The screwed connecti ons can be removed aft erwards without risking displacement of the fastener. Through this the production processes are rationalized and secured.

Self-clinching rivet nuts from series 10.455 and 10.456 are riveted into the component. A shaft is passed through a pre-punched hole in the component and riveted on the opposite side. The base material is not deformed in the process. These threaded fasteners feature serrated shafts that cut into the metal sheet surface, ensuring a high torsion resistance and torque load capacity. In addition to insertion with the aid of a press, these models can also be inserted using hand tools.

Self-clinch studs (flush head studs) are fasteners that have a serration under the head. At inserting into the metal sheet it presses the displaced material into the rivet ring to secure the fastener. Advantages: • high resistance to torque strain • no damage of coated surfaces - ideal for sheet panels • always vertical to the sheet • head is flush on the metal sheet after insertion

Self-clinch standoffs can serve as spacers or distance pieces. The hexagon head is simply pressed into the metal sheet, that the material will compress in the nut. The pressing in at the head finishes completely flush. A wide selection of open or closed versions is available. For applications with high strain versions with larger heads and higher compressive tensile strengths can be produced.
