ClinchRivet®

The special advantage of this ClinchRivet® is its simple and symmetrical rivet. This provides for a trouble-free feeding and pressing operation. The materials to be joined gain an additional retaining member. A clean and highly repeatable joint is created. Its Multipoint capability increases the cost advantages.

Due to the filling of the clinched joint with the ClinchRivet®, the strength of the joint increases considerably, and especially the shear strength. The ClinchRivet® is especially appropriate for use with thin sheet metals.

Advantages

• symmetrical rivet geometry, thus jam-free feeding and high productivity
• excellent electrical conductivity
• resistant to corrosion
• simple quality control by measuring the "X" dimension
• no cutting of the punch or die side sheet metals
• no mechanical notch effect, high dynamic capability
• no damage to surface coating
• no slugs produced during process

All technological characteristics and quality criteria of the TOX®-Round Joint also apply to the ClinchRivet®.
