Clinch Nut
The clinch nut, often also referred to as a self-clinching nut or press-fit nut, is a fastener that is pressed into thin-walled sheet metal to provide a thread for fastening screws.
The clinch nut is inserted into a prefabricated pilot hole in the component by deforming the sheet metal using cold forming. It is often used when conventional joining methods such as screw joining or welding are not suitable.

Overview of Clinch Nuts
Our automation-grade clinch nuts are available in various designs and differ in terms of a number of features:
Sheet thickness - The minimum sheet thickness should be observed to ensure reliable fastening in the component.
Thread size - The thread sizes range from metric sizes M4 to M12.
Outer diameter - The outer diameter determines the size of the clinch nut to ensure a good pull-through force.
Head serration - Clinch nuts can have various knurls under the head. Pronounced under-head serration ensures high torque absorption.
Collar - The size of the collar can vary and has an influence on the push-out forces.
Special designs - A variety of parameters relating to the area of application, geometry, properties and surface can be adapted to your requirements.
