CAPTIFIX™ Stainless Steel

CAPTIFIX™ Stainless Steel

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on CAPTIFIX™ captive screws and pins, emphasizing their benefits, installation methods, and technical specifications. These components offer a reliable alternative to standard screws by ensuring they remain captive during assembly and dismantling, preventing damage or loss.

Product Features:

CAPTIFIX™ components prevent screw loss, ensuring high-resistance assembly without special workpiece preparation.
They offer aesthetic solutions with no visible welds or burns, suitable for all metals.
Installation is simplified, allowing use on pre-painted workpieces and eliminating the need for post-installation painting.

Installation Methods:

Press Crimping: Suitable for hard materials, ensuring high torque resistance.
Press Riveting: Ideal for soft materials, offering high mechanical performance.
Manual Snap-on Installation: Compatible with all materials, ensuring fastener captivity without workpiece interaction.

Technical Specifications:

Various types (IMO, IMN, IMM, IML, IMF, IMT, AXR-AXB) are available, each with specific features and installation processes.
Dimensions and tolerances are provided for components to be crimped, riveted, or snap-on, with custom solutions available for specific applications.

Recommendations:

Proper workpiece preparation is crucial for optimal crimping and mechanical resistance.
Precision-sharpened punches are recommended to minimize strain-hardening and rupture zones.

Specifications and Recommendations: To ensure optimal crimping and prevent deformation of sheet metal, specific distances between punched holes, the edge of the sheet, and the punching axis are recommended. These distances are detailed in a table with measurements in millimeters and tolerances available in product data sheets.

Materials and Setting Forces: The document outlines setting forces required for different materials such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, with specific force ranges provided for various component types (crimping, riveting, snap-on). Forces are measured in daN and vary depending on the material and component type.

Stainless Steel Grades: The CAPTIFIX™ range includes components made from austenitic stainless steel, known for its effectiveness in corrosive environments. The 316L stainless steel variant includes molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance, while the HR stainless steel variant is designed for high mechanical resistance, suitable for crimping on very hard surfaces.

Installation Process: For optimal installation and resistance, crimping should be done from the side of the punch entry, burr, or source, especially for thick workpieces. The press installation process requires precise setting of the press stroke to ensure complete insertion without excess. A time delay at the stroke end may be necessary to prevent springback.

Product Range and Part Number Designation: The document provides a detailed breakdown of the CAPTIFIX™ product range, including material types, thread sizes, component shapes, and fixing modes. Part numbers are designated with specific codes indicating material, type, and other characteristics.

Product Warranty: La Clusienne guarantees that the products sold are free from defects in material and workmanship and meet their applicable product specifications. However, there is no warranty that the products will be merchantable or fit for any particular purpose.

Product Specifications: The document lists various fastening components such as screws, nuts, and captive pins, specifying their dimensions, material, and setting methods. The products are primarily made of stainless steel and are designed for crimping or riveting settings.

Product Types and Codes: The document provides detailed specifications for different types of screws and pins, including their dimensions, codes, and mechanical properties. For example, screws are listed with their thread size, length, and other critical dimensions.

Technical Data: Tables in the document provide technical data for each product type, including dimensions, tensile strength, and other mechanical properties. This data is crucial for selecting the appropriate component for specific applications.

Recommendations: While the document does not explicitly provide recommendations, the detailed specifications and warranty information imply best practices for selecting and using these components in assembly solutions.
