Rivtex® Screw
The self-clinching screw for delicate work

ARNOLD's Rivtex® self-clinching screw is particularly suitable for delicate tasks in very thin metals. Several self-clinching screws can be processed in a single stroke and can be used in steel and aluminium – in sheet thicknesses of 0.75 to 2 mm, and strength classes 08,8 and 010,9.

application

The ARNOLD Rivtex® self-clinching screw is superior to welding in several respects. It incurs only low testing and control costs, avoids emissions, and thus reduces energy costs. In addition, there is no thermal weakening at the fastening position.
