Functional principle of the fastener
The round RIVTEX RX pierce nut can be installed automatically and is the answer to many production needs in steel and aluminum sheet metal.
The large load bearing area of RIVTEX nuts provides high resistance against push out and torque and, in this way, the nuts develop their own failure safety of the joint. The result is a high-quality sheet metal part ready for installation.
Starting position
The pierce nut is clamped in the punch; the sheet metal is placed on the die.
Press stroke
When the punch moves down, the pilot of the nut punches the hole into the sheet component.
Punching process
The stamping waste drops through the die and the sheet is pressed into the nut.
Clinching process
The punch is in lower position and the sheet metal is completely forced into the undercut of the nut.
Sectional view of a finished joint
In order to punch and clinch the nut, you need the tools and feeding equipment for the RIVTEX® system.
