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
They feature a large flange head for exceptional pull through performance and are equally suitable for plain or coated raw materials in aluminium, steel, stainless, magnesium and high-strength steel, enabling high-strength, watertight fixings to be achieved with an absolute positional accuracy of 0.2 mm.
The new NBR stud variant also incorporates a shouldered design for precise component location and a generous thread lead-in for use with high speed nut running equipment.
Like other Profil fasteners, it is designed for automatic insertion in pressed components as part of their production process and has already been specified by a further European vehicle manufacturer to streamline the location and retention of door hinges on a number of its models.
"The assured accuracy and consistent placement of our products in every component is ideal for robot-based or machine vision-based automated assembly methods", says Profil UK's Sales Manager, Adrian Ellis.
"Furthermore, their load carrying capabilities and corrosion resistance all contribute to the exceptional cost and quality benefits our pierce fastening technology offers over traditional welded or threaded fixing methods". Request a free brochure from Profil UK ...
