About Self Piercing Pias® Nuts

Our high performance Pias® Self Piercing nuts offer a stronger and highly reliable alternative to traditional self clinching, staking and weld nuts.

In most cases a Pias® solution will yield significant cost and time savings when compared to weld nuts or a staked fastener.

 

Eliminates Welding - and the need for expensive and sometimes hazardous welding operations.

Repeatable Reliability - with proper installation, Rivtex® and Pias® clinch nuts can reduce potential failures.

Consistent push-out and torque--out strength is achievable from the first to the last installation.

High Performance - once installed, Pias® nuts provide a high resistance to rotational and push-out forces.

Torsional and push-out strength are limited only by the shear strength of the panel material.

Installation - Utilising modular punch dies and blocks, Pias® nuts can be installed on most presses, or for very high production rates, fully automated feed and installation equipment is available.

Modular construction of the punch blocks allow up to 100 stroke per minute.

Self Piercing Pias®
Clinch Nuts
Type PN

Information

For the cost-effective use of piercing nuts in the production of sheet metal parts there is hardly any fastener more ideal then the PN piercing nut.

 

Depending on metal thickness the nut must have a pre-pressed boss.

 

Cost advantages exceeding 40 % compared with normal welding processes are a decisive argument in favour of this type of piercing nut.

 

Key application areas are the electrical, the automotive, and the metal furniture industry.

 

To install the PN piercing nuts ARNOLD & SHINJO is provies a modular tooling range. Punch heads, dies, feeding devices and the necessary control systems are part of the standard supply programme.

Self Piercing Pias Nuts Installation stage 1

 

Stage 1 - Start

The piercing nut is clamped in the punch, the sheet metal is placed on the die.

Self Piercing Pias Nuts Installation stage 2

 

Stage 2 - Press Stroke

When the punch moves down, the spigot of the nut punches the hole into the sheet.

Self Piercing Pias Nuts Installation stage 3

 

Stage 3 - Punch Process

The stamping waste drops through the die and the sheet is pressed into the nut.

Self Piercing Pias Nuts Installation stage 4

 

Stage 4 - Clinching Process

The punch is in lower position and the sheet metal is completely forced into the undercut of the nut.

Installed - Sectional view

Part is fully installed. The sectional view shows how the sheet metal has flowed into the special clinching feature.

In order to punch and install PIAS® nuts, tooling and feeding equipment for the PIAS® system is required.
