Features:
Clinch studs for thinner sheet metal panels
Functional principle of fastener
RIVTEX® RXS EPS studs are captive fasteners clinched into formed sheet metal panels, resulting in ready to use components. The result are sheet metal components ready-to-fit.
RIVTEX® for maximum quality
RIVTEX® clinch studs are installed into pre-pierced panels. Initially the hole in the panel is widened by the calibrating collar, which also centers the stud. The material is deformed and pressed into the ribs under the head.
A very high load-carrying capacity is achieved by means of the patented underhead geometry. Reduced production stages and energy consumption result in considerable cost savings. An additional advantage is the possibility of installing multiple clinch studs in a single operation.
Starting position
Insertion of the stud into pre-punched hole in clinch die.
Press stroke
Centering of the sheet metal above the calibration collar.
Punching process
Widening the plate above the calibration collar and displacement of the material in the ribs.
Clinching process
Clinching of the material.
Sectional view of a finished joint
For processing the clinch stud, you need the tool and feeding equipment for the RIVTEX® system.
