Overview
SBF™ Self-piercing rivet studs for sheet applications
Application area
- These press-in and rivet studs can be universally used for component thicknesses from 0.60 to 3.50 mm and tensile strengths of up to 1000 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 GRP, CFRP, aluminium or other materials
- Suitable for use with surface-treated, galvanised or painted components
Technical characteristics
- Thread sizes: M5 to M10
- 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
- Stud 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
