Self-clinching nut Acument Global Technologies

Features

Unlike spot welding, joints can be created in-die with clinch fasteners and automated equipment
Can be used where welding is impossible or undesirable, such as joining dissimilarmaterials, precoated
sheets, and high strength thin sheet metals
Unlike welding, clinch fasteners do not create a heat zone in the materials during installation
Can be installed after the painting or coating process, with virtually no aesthetic damage to the application
Allows simple visual inspection to determine proper fastener seating
Placing equipment ranging from manual working station to multiple, high rate setting machines
Benefits
Lowers in-place costs, maximizes assembly flexibility
Corrosion resistance is maintained
Changes and damage to the application materials are minimized
Can eliminate welding operations and its environmental and safety hazards
Avoids cross-threading and other problems caused by coated or painted threads
Joints do not require destructive testing to determine installed strength
Use of threaded fasteners ease servicing while providing high joint strength
