Self-Clinching Bolt

Self-Clinching Bolt

In today's world of increasingly lightweight and modular sheet metal structures, traditional welding, spot welding, or back-mounted nut connection methods are gradually revealing problems such as low efficiency, high risk of deformation, and inconvenient maintenance. Self-clinching bolts, as fasteners that are permanently embedded in thin sheets through cold pressing, are becoming the mainstream choice in new energy equipment, electronic enclosures, industrial control cabinets, and precision sheet metal structures.

Products Description

 

A self-clinching bolt is a functional fastener that is press-fitted into a thin sheet metal without welding or nuts. Its working principle utilizes a special toothed or locking structure beneath the screw head to embed into the base metal under pressure, causing controlled plastic flow in the base metal. This achieves:

Permanent anti-rotation

High pull-out resistance

Reusable threads

Once press-fitted, the screw becomes part of the sheet metal structure, allowing for direct threaded connections during subsequent assembly and maintenance.

Core Product Advantages
 
 
 

More Suitable for Thin Sheets

Unlike welding or tapping, press-fit screws have lower requirements for base material thickness, allowing for stable application to thin or medium-thickness sheet metal Clinching Screw, and are less prone to warping or thermal deformation.

 
 

Higher Structural Stability

The press-fit structure uses metal cold flow for locking, providing more stable anti-loosening performance compared to spot welding or riveting, making Push-In Clinching Screw suitable for equipment with frequent vibration or long-term operation.

 
 

Significantly Improved Assembly Efficiency

No post-weld cleaning or secondary processing is required; press-fitting is completed in one step, greatly shortening the production cycle and reducing labor and rework costs.

 
 

Superior Appearance and Consistency

After press-fitting, the back of the sheet metal remains flat, suitable for chassis, housings, and modular structures where appearance and assembly space are critical.

 

Application of Self-Clinching Bolt

Material Advantages: Matching Optimal Genes for "Implantation" and "Service"
 
 

Stainless Steel Series

We primarily use 303 or 304 stainless steel. 303 stainless steel, due to the addition of sulfur, has superior machinability, making it suitable for manufacturing screws with complex shapes. 304 stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance and versatility. The inherent high strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensure long-term service of the implanted threaded interface in various environments.

 
 
 

Carbon Steel Series

We select high-quality carbon steel, which undergoes surface hardening treatment to provide extremely high surface hardness (≥HRC50) to ensure no deformation during the riveting process, while maintaining sufficient core toughness to prevent brittle fracture. The surface is typically galvanized or Dacromet-treated to provide excellent rust resistance.

 
 
 

Aluminum Alloy Series

To meet the extreme lightweight requirements of aerospace and high-end electronic equipment, we offer 6061 or 7075 aluminum alloy riveting screws. Their strength-to-weight ratio is extremely high, and their coefficient of thermal expansion is similar to that of aluminum alloy sheets, maintaining connection stability under varying temperature conditions.
