- A9N™ Clinch Nuts are designed for component thicknesses ranging from 1.20mm to 6.00mm, supporting thread sizes from M6 to M10, with P.C. 10 (standard) and high resistance to twist and ejection forces. These are suitable for aluminum, surface-treated, galvanized, or painted components.A9N™ Clinch Nuts are designed for component thicknesses ranging from 1.20mm to 6.00mm, supporting thread sizes from M6 to M10, with P.C. 10 (standard) and high resistance to twist and ejection forces. These are suitable for aluminum, surface-treated, galvanized, or painted components.
- RSK™ Self-piercing rivet nuts are engineered for thin sheet applications (0.75mm to 2.0mm thickness, up to 1200 MPa tensile strength), available in M6 and M8 thread sizes, offering high resistance to twist and ejection forces, and providing water-tight and gas-tight seals. MAF technology enables fastening of dissimilar materials like common steel, HSS, sandwich panels, aluminum, magnesium, and carbon fiber, creating stronger joints without thermal effects.RSK™ Self-piercing rivet nuts are engineered for thin sheet applications (0.75mm to 2.0mm thickness, up to 1200 MPa tensile strength), available in M6 and M8 thread sizes, offering high resistance to twist and ejection forces, and providing water-tight and gas-tight seals.
