As a part of the mechanically attached fasteners line of fasteners, PennEngineering’s PROFIL fasteners are permanently and securely attached to metal parts or panels by means of a riveting, piercing or pressing process.

Mechanical fasteners are components used to mechanically join or fasten two or more objects together.

Here are a few advantages of mechanical fasteners:

• Manual, in-die or robotic installation is possible
• Overall weight reduction is typically achieved
• Minimum space requirements are needed within the tool
• Simple installation in every work direction (no evacuation of slugs)
• Joining of high-strength steel up to a tensile strength (of Rm = 1500 MPa)
• Suitable for a wide range of sheet metal thicknesses with only one nut type (t = 0.5 to 5mm)
• All kinds of surface coatings of the sheet metal panels are feasible (no deformation by piercing or riveting)
• Self-piercing, clinching and rivet solutions available
• Easy and simple tool maintenance

PennEngineering is supported by manufacturing and technical facilities in the U.S., Europe, and globally. The company designs and manufactures automated feeding equipment for in-die press shop applications and assembly line solutions to meet the individual production requirements of the PROFIL components.

Additionally, installation of the PROFIL fasteners can be done in one step.
