LCLS Self-Clinching Nuts

LCLS Series Self-Clinching

The self-clinching feature offers fast and simple assembly. The fasteners are squeezed into prepared holes using any standard press. The sheet remains flush on one side, and the fastener is permanently locked in place.
Extra strength and support in assembly is obtained by the threads of the floating nut extending fully into the retainer shank (a unique feature). A self-locking version of the fastener is also offered. Thread locking torque performance is equivalent to applicable NASM25027 specifications.
Non-locking Type A4 and self-locking Type LA4 fasteners provide load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.97mm with hardness up to HRB 88 on the Rockwell “B” scale.
 
Installation:
Must always be carried out using a squeeze action-nevr a shock loadPunch a hole in the metal sheet to the size recommended in our technical data tableDe-burring of the hole is not recommended.Apply pressure to the head of the fastener sufficient to totally embed the clinching ring aroundthe entire circumference and bring body in contact with the sheet.Insert fixing screw or bolt from side opposite to the fastener body.

What are the three types of fasteners?

Fasteners are important components used to connect or fasten two or more objects together. There are many types of fasteners, but the following three are common:

1. Mechanical fasteners: These are devices that physically connect components. Examples include:
Bolt: Usually used with a nut to fasten two or more parts together.

Screw: Designed to be screwed into materials to hold them together, usually without the need for a nut.

Nut: Used with bolts to create a secure fastening.

2. Adhesive Fasteners: These fasteners involve the use of adhesives or glues to bond materials together. They provide a strong bond without the need for mechanical parts. Examples include:

Epoxy: A strong adhesive used to bond a variety of materials.

Super Glue: A quick-drying adhesive perfect for small repairs.

3. Interlocking Fasteners: These fasteners rely on mechanical interlocking to hold components together. Examples include:

Rivet: A permanent fastener that holds materials together by deformation.

Snap Buttons: Commonly used in clothing and interior decoration, can be easily installed and removed.

Each type of fastener has specific applications and benefits, depending on the materials being joined and the assembly requirements.
