Profil UK's latest pierce fastening technology will be demonstrated as part of the company's presentation of advanced sheet metal assembly solutions at the Northern Manufacturing Show.
Profil RSN and RND rivet nuts utilised by Audi
Profil has announced that its RSN and RND rivet nuts have been specified by Audi for use in a safety-critical bonnet latch mounting application on its A4 and A5 vehicles.
Products on show will include examples of pierce nuts and studs in standard and large flange configurations, as well as shouldered, conical, ultra-low-profile, high shear, flush fitting and restricted access types.
All are available with M6-M12 threads in a variety of materials, for installation in coated or uncoated materials, high tensile, stainless and sandwich steels, aluminium sections and even magnesium castings.
Special-purpose products on display will include Profil's two-piece electrical earthing fastener; a novel ball pin fastener that provides high strength pivot points for components such as vehicle bonnet or tailgate assemblies; the company's recently- introduced heavy duty NBR location stud and its multi-functional RSN "top hat" nuts, which produce secure, water-tight mountings for vehicle after-market roof racks as well as significant build quality benefits and cost savings of up to $0.50 per car.
Fasteners in Profil's latest corrosion-resistant "Magni" finish, capable of withstanding more than 1000 hours of salt spray without rusting, will also be showcased at the exhibition demonstrating the system's suitability for even the most aggressive operating environments.
Feeding and insertion equipment for installing more than 100 fasteners per minute at least an order of magnitude faster than riveted or welded methods will also be highlighted on Profil's stand.
The system's ability to achieve vibration resistant fixings with high static, dynamic and impact load capabilities, will be further underlined by the company's display of applications on the BMW Mini, Mercedes A class, Range-Rover's Discovery and all-new Freelander, as well as Ford's Ka, Fiesta and Focus models.
Collectively, these vehicles employ more than 800 Profil fasteners in their construction in areas ranging from wing mirror retention to safety-critical engine, gearbox and subframe mountings. Request free introductory details about products from Profil UK ...
