RSK™ Self-piercing rivet nut for thin sheet applications

Application area

• Can be used for component thicknesses from 0.75 to 2.0 mm and tensile strengths of up to 1200 MPa
• Suitable for a wide range of high dynamic, static and impact load conditions
• Suitable for use where threaded fittings need to be resistant to high axial forces
• Also suitable for the accommodation of lateral forces
• Can be used for aluminum
• Suitable for use with surface-treated, galvanized or painted components

Technical Characteristics

• The nut is placed from the screw fitting side
• Thread sizes: M6 and M8
• P.C. 8.8 (standard)
• Resistance to corrosion in accordance with the customer’s requirements
• No adverse effects on the joint or function of the thread; no damage due to weld spatters
• High resistance to twist and ejection forces, even for thin sheet metals
• Water-tight and gas-tight in reference to the requirements demanded by the automotive sector and dependent on the quality of the component material
• Nut positioning tolerance ranges can be halved as compared to welding methods
• Straightforward, in-process and non-destructive quality testing possible by worker instead of elaborate destructive tests
