Pierce Nuts – Clinch Nuts
In the automotive sector clinch nuts are used to mechanically clinch aluminium, stainless steel or steel sheets together. These nuts provide a durable fastening solution for both structural and non-structural applications. Vehicles and machinery often rely on clinch nuts to ensure a secure connection in areas where welding or other fastening methods are not applicable. Clinch nuts also have the ability to withstand vibrations, which reduces the need for maintenance and increases the overall safety. View our products and place an order in the Facil webshop.
Clinch nuts for permanent installation
Also often referred to as a pierce nut or a self clinching nut, a clinch nut features a thread to permanently install it into a pre-punched or pierced hole of the base material. Clinch nuts are essential mechanical components in the automotive industry and provide a reliable fastening solution for sheet metal applications. For smaller companies, sourcing directly from manufacturers and distributors can be both time-consuming and costly. This makes fast and efficient access to these components crucial.
The different types of automotive clinch nuts, such as a self clinching nut, flush-head clinch nut, and blind clinch nuts offer versatile options to create secure connections. Choosing the right clinch nut based on factors like material compatibility, thread size and installation requirements can streamline production and enhance a small company’s operational efficiency. Clinch nuts are also a great alternative to weld nuts as they eliminate the need for welding processes. This reduces potential heat distortion and preserves the integrity of the base material.
