<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 />
