About Rivtex® and Strux®
Self Clinching Studs

Our high performance Rivtex® and Strux® clinch studs offer a stronger and highly reliable alternative to traditional self clinching, staking and weld studs.


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

 

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

 

Repeatable Reliability - with proper installation, Rivtex® and Strux® clinch studs can reduce potential failures. Consistent push-out and torque-out strengths achievable from the first to the last installation.

 

High Performance - once installed, the lobes resist high rotational forces from spinning the part in the panel and the clinch ring provides high resistance to push-out forces unseating the part. Torsional and push-out strength are limited
only by the shear strength of the panel material.

 

Easy Installation - Rivtex® and Strux® clinch studs can be fed manually, or with any equipment capable of feeding weld studs or conventional clinch studs.

Fully automated installation equipment is available including bespoke solutions giving multiple simultaneous installations. By utilising progressive die technology, extremely high production rates can be achieved.

Strux® Clinch Studs

Type SX

Information

STRUX® SX studs are captive fasteners that can be clinched into formed sheet metal panels, resulting in ready to use components.

STRUX® for maximum quality

STRUX® SX   clinch studs are installed into pre-pierced panels. Initially the hole in the panel is widened by the calibrating collar, which also centres the stud. The material is displaced by the Torx locking lobes into the annular clinch feature..

High push-out forces and torque values are a feature of this range of fasteners.

Reduced production stages and the resulting reduction in energy consumption gives considerable cost savings.

 

An additional advantage is the possibility of installing multiple clinch studs in a single operation.
