Fasteners and fittings - Import export

The KEBAFORM range consists of individually designed engineering solutions resulting in the creation of innovative fasteners. This range fits various requirements, such as holder, stop bolt, distance sleeve, or adjustment element. Multiple phased cold-forming manufacturing processes create a unique and advantageous end product. This know-how and technology allow for a complex fastening element to be formed in up to six blows. PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES • 100% adaptable to any application • Minimization of materials used and inventory costs • Multi-functional use allows for large savings • Simple and efficient assembly • Alternative and replacement of turned parts

Every day, industries throughout the world encounter assembly problems caused by cross-threading. Cross-threading occurs when the screw is misaligned into the female thread. This creates a new thread, which destroys the female thread. Now Arnold UMFORMTECHNIK is able to supply the patented MAThread® dog-point, an innovative solution to this problem. Screws with MAThread® dog points are shorter, lighter and can be used in more applications than other special fasteners. They are easy to fit, and robust, and thus eliminate every problem that commonly occurs with regard to fitting threaded fasteners. The MAThread design allows the designer to select the point shape best-suited to feed well in the application. As the threads come into contact, the patented anti-cross thread MAThread design begins to cam over the female thread. The MAThread design now forces the two thread helixes to align every time without fail.

TriPress® is a triangular rapid fastening system that can be clinched into plastic and light metals. During the clinching operation, the two components of the TriPress® fastener connect together quickly and economically. It is available in the following designs: Triangular shank and knurl parallel with axis provide greater torsional strength. Circumferential locking flutes on triangular shaft generate high pull-out resistance. Combination of grooves and knurls permit positive-fit fastenings and achieve high torsional torques and pull-out forces (figure 4). So the fastener can be clinched into pre-prepared holes or injected as inserts into plastic housings.

How the fastener functions The material is peeled and a collar formed so that a flush and positive fit of the fastener is created with the sheet metal material. This can either transfer very high forces (e.g. AX 20x14) or with the version that is flush with the sheet, the fastener can be used to directly mount connected parts (e.g. AX 16x4). This principle can be applied to almost every material. The benefits of the RIVORM® HR clinch nut one nut for all sheet metals up to 4.5 mm cost-saving due to fewer variants high-strength, press-hardened and hot-stamped steels very good torsional strength regardless of metal strength high pull-out force The benefits of the RIVORM® TR rivet for fitting ties and springs fully automated processing possible in the subsequent composite tool can be applied universally for different assembly jobs, such as fastening electrical control units, or other plastic parts, simply by clipping them in
