Special Materials, Finishes, and Processes
Acument uses Camtronic galling-resistant material and MICROtech finish to enhance strength, corrosion resistance, and cleanliness, suitable for high-tech applications.
Quality Cold Formed Components
Acument's cold forming technology produces components with unique shapes and improved strength using materials like carbon steel, alloy steel, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. They offer various heat treatments and platings to meet specific requirements.
Ball Studs and Ball Stud Housings
These components are precision cold-formed and CNC machined for tight tolerances and improved performance.
TORX PLUS® Drive System
This patented system enhances drive bit life and torque transfer, reducing assembly downtime and worker fatigue.
Anti-Cross-Threading Features
Acupoint and MAThread fasteners prevent cross-threading and facilitate rapid thread engagement, reducing scrap and rework costs.
Taptite® Fasteners
These fasteners form threads as they are seated, eliminating tapping costs and resisting vibration loosening.
STRUX® Clinch Products
STRUX products offer a reliable alternative to staked or welded fasteners, suitable for non-weldable materials and automated installation.
Socket Screw Products
Acument provides a wide variety of high-strength socket screw products, meeting ANSI and ASTM standards, available in various styles and sizes.
Mag-Form® Thread-forming Fasteners
Designed for magnesium die-castings, these fasteners minimize debris and form strong threads in low-ductile materials.
Magnaseal® Pipe Plugs
These fasteners eliminate tapping costs and improve sealing, suitable for field serviceability.
Crest Cup® Spring Washer Assembly
This assembly offers an alternative to traditional washer assemblies, maximizing joint integrity and facilitating automatic assembly.
FlorTORX® II Floor Screws
These screws form their own threads, easing assembly and increasing resistance to strip-out and pull-out.
Delta PT® Fasteners
Engineered for plastic materials, these fasteners optimize material flow and increase joint life.
PT® and Duro-PT® Fasteners
Designed for thermoplastic and thermoset applications, these fasteners provide increased thread engagement and minimize installation torque.
Plastite® Fasteners
  • Features: Unique trilobular body with narrow thread profile; three thread angle/helix angle combinations.
  • Benefits: Reduces boss failure, increases product reliability, eliminates need for inserts and lock washers.
PlasTORX® Fasteners
  • Features: Hex-lobular TORX® configuration, flange on top of head, threaded shank for nut member, designed for molding into components.
  • Benefits: Allows simultaneous installation of multiple fasteners, provides resistance to rotation and pull-out, ideal for materials prone to cracking.
Rivtex® Fastening System
  • Features: Includes clinch studs, nuts, and pierce-clinch nuts; optimal for high strength steel and thin aluminum sheets; supports automated installation.
  • Benefits: High resistance to rotation and push-out, replaces welding, speeds assembly process.
