<strong>Clinch</strong> <strong>Fastening</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> from Acument Global Technologies<br />
As the demand for thin sheet steel and aluminum<br />
sheet applications increases, so do solutions for<br />
fastening them. Acument Global Technologies<br />
continues its product development to meet these<br />
changing needs.<br />
The Strux® line of clinch nuts and studs from<br />
Acument are designed to provide an external or<br />
internal thread in sheet metal stack-ups 1.5mm and<br />
thicker. Based on the proven performance of Strux®<br />
fasteners, Acument has developed the Rivtex® line<br />
of clinch and pierce-clinch fasteners to meet the<br />
needs of sheet metals as thin as 0.75mm.<br />
Acument can provide a wide range of automated<br />
feed, placement and transfer options for both lines<br />
of fasteners.<br />
Features<br />
• Unlike spot welding, joints can be created<br />
in-die with clinch fasteners and automated<br />
equipment<br />
• Can be used where welding is impossible<br />
or undesirable, such as joining dissimilar<br />
materials, pre-coated sheets, and highstrength<br />
thin sheet metals<br />
• Unlike welding, clinch fasteners do not create<br />
a heat zone in the materials during installation<br />
• Can be installed after the painting or coating<br />
process, with virtually no aesthetic damage to<br />
the application<br />
• Allows simple visual inspection to determine<br />
proper fastener seating<br />
Benefits<br />
• Lowers in-place costs<br />
• Can eliminate welding operations and its<br />
environmental and safety hazards<br />
• Maximizes assembly flexibility<br />
• Changes and damage to the application<br />
materials are minimized<br />
• Cross-threading and other problems caused<br />
by coated or painted threads can be avoided<br />
• Joints do not require destructive testing to<br />
determine installed strength<br />
• Use of threaded fasteners ease servicing<br />
while providing high joint strength<br />

<strong>Clinch</strong> <strong>Fastening</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> from Acument Global Technologies<br />
Continuing Technology<br />
The Strux® line of clinch fasteners was introduced<br />
in 1976. They provide optimal performance in<br />
steel and aluminum sheet applications that are<br />
2.0mm and over, but too thin to provide adequate<br />
thread engagment from screws or bolts.<br />
Originally featuring a TORX® configuration on the<br />
displacement lobes, other configurations are also<br />
used to meet specific application requirements.<br />
The Rivtex® line of clinch fasteners were<br />
designed to meet the needs of thinner sheet<br />
metal applications. These include high-strength<br />
thin sheet steel, where welding can reduce the<br />
material’s performance.<br />
Benefits<br />
• Provides high resistance to rotation and pushout<br />
• Can eliminate welding operations in standard<br />
materials and be used with material<br />
combinations that can not be welded<br />
• Provides a cleaner appearance then welded<br />
fasteners<br />
• Many automated installation systems available<br />
• Can be installed in-die, unlike welding<br />
operations<br />
• Speeds the assembly process<br />
• Lowers in-place costs<br />
Testing of actual applications is required to<br />
determine optimal fastener selection and assembly<br />
parameters. Please contact an Acument Global<br />
Technologies applications engineer for assistance.<br />
