Self clinching fasteners - Import export

The self clinch standoff is an element in which the head is fully concealed in the sheet metal; it offers high torsion and tensile strength characteristics. The application is so aesthetically sound that no further finishing work is required after installation. It is particularly suitable for the electronics industry This self-clinching standoff is part of our line of self-clinching inserts. All Clinch inserts are installed using a simple punch During installation process, the fastener is placed in an appropriately sized hole and then compressed by means of a punch, applyinng only sufficient pressure to squeeze the hexagon head into the parent sheet. The sheet metal experiences plastic deformation and locks the fastener firmly to itself. After installation the head should be flush with the sheet. So the result is aesthetically perfect and hexagon head provides high tensile as well as torsional strength

The self-clinching nut solves the problem of those who need a strong threaded hole on sheet metal or light alloy. It offers high resistance to both torsion and tension. The Clinch nut is the most viable, reliable, economical alternative to using the weld nut. It has the advantages of more secure attachment, known and controllable strength values, lower overall application cost due to the lack of production waste and the absence of further processing after installation. In addition, the application result from an aesthetic point of view is perfect This self-clinching nut is part of our line of self-clinching inserts. All Clinch inserts are installed using a simple punch During installation process, the fastener is placed in an appropriately sized hole and then compressed by means of a punch, applyinng only sufficient pressure to squeeze the nut serrations into the parent sheet. The sheet metal experiences plastic deformation and locks the fastener firmly to itself.

The self-clinching stud is the modern and rational alternative to the weld-on stud. The stud is easily applied to metal sheets of various thicknesses creating a secure, unequaled-looking attachment with very high strength values. There is almost no damage to the surface of the sheet metal and its treatment This self-clinching stud is part of our line of self-clinching inserts. All Clinch inserts are installed using a simple punch During installation process, the fastener is placed in an appropriately sized hole and then compressed by means of a punch, applyinng only sufficient pressure to squeeze the stud head and its under head tooth features into the parent sheet. The sheet metal experiences plastic deformation and locks the fastener firmly to itself. After installation the spigot joint should be flush with the sheet, so the result is aesthetically perfect. And the tooth locking feature provides high tensile as well as torsional strength

A non-detachable fastening for sheet metals can be produced at optimum cost by using self-clinching screws under the brand names of RIVTEX® (for sheet thicknesses between 0.75 and 2.00 mm) and STRUX® (for sheet thicknesses between 2.0 and 5.00 mm). The clinching technology is suitable for steel and aluminium sheets, causes very little cost in inspection and control, and allows several clinch screws to be processed in a single stroke.

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

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.
