Pierce nuts clinch it over weld nuts for Dyson
When Dyson's designers set about coming up with a better washing machine, amongst the many products chosen were Profil clinch nuts to secure the adjustable feet on its base plate
Featuring a universal rectangular nut with a circular cross section shank, the new URN nut offers an optimum balance between cost and ultimate mechanical performance.
This rivet fastener achieves push out, torque and shear load capabilities superior to traditional pierce or rivet nuts, but at a significantly lower cost.
As a result, it is an ideal choice for general fastening applications across a broad spectrum of sheet metal working applications.
URN nuts can be installed in standalone riveting operations or by using custom-developed, automatic feeding and setting equipment in-press as part of the component manufacturing process.
"The new URN nuts fill a gap in our product range for an attractively priced, general purpose sheet metal fastening system", comments Profil UK's Sales Manager, Adrian Ellis.
"Like other Profil pierce and clinch fasteners, they offer significant cost and quality advantages over traditional assembly methods".
"Unlike welded fasteners they are equally suitable for painted and coated materials and can be installed either automatically or by low-skilled operators".
"I believe the new fasteners will prove extremely popular throughout the domestic appliance, heating and ventilation equipment, lighting, enclosures and sheet metal equipment sectors, as well as in our traditional automotive industry markets" Ellis said. Request a free brochure from Profil UK ...
