Piercing nuts handle 4mm sheet metal
Piasohn piercing nuts allow users to fasten sheet metal up to 4mm thick, and in case of aluminium even up to 5mm.
The piercing nut has proved its value as a mechanical fastening element in industrial sheet metal part production While up to now the process has been used with sheet metal up to 2mm thick, Arnold and Shinjo has now expanded the application range for these parts significantly

Piercing nuts promise cost savings
Substantial installation cost savings and fastening quality are but two of the many advantages of the PIAS piercing nut system compared with more traditional welded nuts.
By means of the new product line of Piasohn piercing nuts, it is now possible to process sheet metal up to 4mm thick, and in case of aluminium even up to 5mm.
Particularly in applications with sheet metal panels which need to meet special requirements with regard to mechanical strength and vibration resistance, the new, tough fastening elements are displaying their advantages.
Piasohn piercing nuts are characterised by a special material and a novel geometry of the punch collar.
They can be supplied in property class 10 with dimensions M5 to M10 ex-stock.
Because of the knurls on the punch collar, Piasohn piercing nuts offer a high degree of torque resistance.
Cost advantages exceeding 30% when compared with classical welding techniques are, in addition to the high-quality of the joint, a decisive argument in favour of clinch fastening technology.
Central fields of application, as seen by Arnold and Shinjo, are the commercial vehicle industry, fittings for the building industry, and furniture production.
For processing the HN piercing nuts, Arnold and Shinjo provides a modular tooling range.
Punch heads, dies, feeding devices and the necessary control systems are part of the standard supply programme.
If required, complete processing systems can be planned and supplied for use in series production.
