If you're looking for fasteners,
you might want to consider Clinch Nuts. They're versatile and are made of a
wide variety of materials. Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and hardened
stainless are just a few of the options. And you can buy them in both metric
and inch sizes. When choosing your nut, remember that the material properties
of the nut are just as important as the nut's appearance and strength.
Self-Clinching Fasteners Simplify Component Mounting
With their easy-to-use design,
self-clinching fasteners can help you save time and money by simplifying
component mounting. These fasteners can be installed during final assembly or
metal fabrication. They eliminate the need for additional hardware and leave no
metal residue. They also offer the added benefit of speeding up assembly
processes and can reduce the total number of fasteners needed by up to half.
With self-clinching fasteners,
you can install a component over again without the worry of loose hardware.
This allows you to achieve lighter and more reliable designs while reducing
manufacturing costs. Even better, self-clinching fasteners are easy to use on
the reverse side, which means you can install them with any standard Arbor
press. Another benefit is that you can install them in almost any material
without special hole preparation or chamfering. Additionally, you don't have to
worry about re-tapping, which means no more worries about how the fastener will
work in the end.
They Require Fewer Assembly Operations
Compared with other fastening
methods, Clinch Nuts have fewer assembly operations. They eliminate tab cut-outs,
brackets, and other hardware, as well as secondary tapping operations, which
results in more predictable designs and tighter design control. For example, a
two-piece enclosure manufacturer specified six aluminum unthreaded
self-clinching fasteners and a corresponding thread forming screw for each
enclosure. The self-clinching fasteners provided right-angle attachment points
for the enclosures, and they significantly reduced the amount of fastening
hardware in each enclosure. As a result, the per-unit assembly time dropped
from 1- 11/2 hours to fifteen minutes, and two fabricating steps were
eliminated: punching and bending.
Other self-clinching nuts feature
threads that are stronger than those on a mild steel screw. They are generally
installed on the inside surface of the sheet, leaving the opposing side smooth.
The assembler then adds a corresponding screw to complete the installation. BAS
manufactures two types of nut: the Flange form nut with a hexagonal flange and
a cylindrical body with six splines, and the closed-end nut for applications
requiring a stainless steel thread.
They Provide Secure Fastening
The self-clinching nut is an
alternative to conventional nylon nuts. The nut is installed by squeezing the
metal sheet around the nut head until it becomes a part of the material. It is
also ideal for thin-walled applications, resulting in a flush mounting. They
are easy to install and are often preferred over traditional tapped holes.
Although they do interfere with the wrench, they provide secure fastening.
The self-clinching nut is used in
metal fabrication. It has strong reusable female threads and excellent
torque-out and push-out characteristics. The head is sized before installation
to ensure a flush finish under the panel. It is also installed during final
assembly and requires access to both sides of the panel. Clinch nuts offer
excellent torque-out and push-out properties. However, you should make sure to
enlarge all prefabricated holes before installing the self-clinching nut.
They Take Up Less Space
Self-clinching nuts are a great
choice for applications where space is at a premium. They take up less space,
are smaller in diameter, and are installed permanently in ultra-thin stainless-steel
sheets. Self-clinching nuts can install as close to the edge of the host sheet
as possible and offer excellent corrosion resistance. They are available in
sizes M2.5 through M3.5. Read more about these unique nut types below.
Self-clinching nuts have a female
thread with a radially knurled collar. They are ideal for thin panels and
provide excellent torque and pull-out loads. They are cheaper to use than other
types of fasteners and require less handling and assembly. They also leave a
clean and tidy appearance. One downside to using these nuts is that they can't
be used on aluminum panels. The anodic treatment causes them to disappear.
They Reduce Assembly Time
When it comes to speeding up the
assembly process, self-clinching fasteners are an obvious choice. These
innovative fasteners reduce the amount of hardware required in final assembly,
leading to faster time to market and lower overhead costs. Here are some
advantages of using clinch nuts. All these benefits have an impact on your
bottom line. Read on to learn how you can speed up your assembly process with
clinch nuts.
A clinch nut has two distinct
zones: a plastic recess zone, which is ductile, and a tapped zone, which is
resistant to load. The latter zone is tapped to accept a screw, and the former
is smooth or knurled. A clinch nut can be made to withstand loads that are
applied to the nut by undergoing thermal annealing.

They are More Resistant to Spin-Out than Rivets or Screws
Unlike other fasteners, rivet
nuts are less likely to spin out. Their knurled surface provides extra torque
resistance, and they can be found in many materials, including steel, aluminum,
stainless steel, and brass. They come in various body shapes, from round to
hex, and knurled or plain. Full hexagonal rivet nuts are generally used for
heavy-duty applications, while half hexagonal rivet nuts are designed for
lighter-duty applications. Another style is the slotted rivet nut. Slotted
rivet nuts are also available and feature a large footprint and a pre-bulled
shank.
Rivet nuts and clinch nuts are installed using fastener automation systems. However, some hand tools are used to install clinch nuts and rivets. For high-volume installations, some companies utilize an Arbor press. Clinch nuts can be installed manually or with the use of an Arbor press. Both types require a suitable tool and an adequate amount of force. When properly installed, these fasteners can withstand spinouts for many years.
