The advantages of mechanical fasteners

By Michelle Froese | January 31, 2020

Learn more about the benefits of and applications for mechanical fasteners here.

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.
