Mechanical press-fit technology for maximum resistance to twisting in sheet metal fabrication.

Optimize your industrial production with reliable fasteners. Our high-quality fasteners provide a durable hold in applications where thermal joining processes are not cost-effective.

Advantages of the press-fit technique:

The advantages of modern press-fit technology lie in its extreme durability and exceptionally high resistance to twisting. If you are looking for high-quality press-fit components for your production, cold forming offers a reliable, material-friendly, and clean solution compared to thermal processes.

Typical Applications for Press-Fit Components

Mechanical fasteners are used wherever welding or other thermal joining processes are not permitted for economic or technical reasons. Classic areas of application in modern industry include:

• Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing: Secure Connections for Demanding Frame Structures.
• Electronics & Control Panel Construction: Precise Fastenings in Sensitive Enclosure Components.
• Automotive Industry & Lightweight Construction: Reliable Load Transfer in Innovative Sheet-Metal Structures.

Assembly Process: How Press-Fit Components Work

To ensure permanent resistance to twisting in thin-walled sheet metal, our fasteners utilize the proven principle of cold forming. During the actual press-in process, the high pressure causes the base material of the sheet metal structure to be displaced in a controlled manner.

Through a process known as cold flow, this excess material flows precisely into the teeth and the undercut of the component. This reliably prevents subsequent loosening, shifting, or twisting within the mechanical joint during daily industrial use.
