CLUFIX® Steel

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on CLUFIX® blind rivet nuts, focusing on their specifications, installation procedures, and advantages over traditional fastening methods like welded nuts and workpiece tapping. It covers various materials such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and different head and body types.

Specifications: CLUFIX® rivet nuts are available in materials including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, with configurations such as flush, flange, and countersunk. They come in body types like round, hexagonal, and knurled, designed for both open and closed ends. Metric, UNC, and UNF pitches are specified.

Installation Procedures: Installation is performed using LA CLUSIENNE-CLUFIX oleopneumatic tools. Proper hole preparation through methods like punching, drilling, laser cutting, or water jet cutting is crucial for optimal crimping and mechanical resistance.

Technical Data: Dimensions and tolerances for different body and head types are provided, along with installation settings necessary for optimal performance, including key parameters to consider during installation.

Advantages: CLUFIX® offers benefits such as blind installation capability, high-resistance assembly, guaranteed coaxiality, and robust crimping and threading functions. It simplifies processes, reduces costs, and can be used on pre-painted workpieces without damage.

Applications: Suitable for various materials, including metals and composites, CLUFIX® provides a watertight seal when necessary and is advantageous in applications requiring high torque resistance and aesthetic solutions without visible welds.

Installation Adjustments:

Tie-Rod Adjustment: Ensure all threads are engaged when screwing the CLUFIX® onto the tie-rod. Adjust the anvil if necessary.
Stroke Adjustment: Optimize crimping quality based on CLUFIX® type and metal sheet thickness. The crimping stroke is calculated as S = X - Ep, where X is specific to each part number and Ep is the sheet thickness. Testing on a sample sheet is recommended.
Air Pressure: For oleopneumatic tools, a minimum of 6 bars is required, with reduced pressure for smaller diameters to limit crimping stress, especially for aluminum.
Workpiece Preparation: Details minimum and maximum hole diameters for various sizes to ensure proper fit and tolerance.

Technical Data: Includes crimping force, tensile force, and push-out force data for different materials and sizes, emphasizing the importance of testing under actual conditions.

Torque Resistance: Discusses indirect and direct torque resistance, highlighting the high torque resistance of hexagonal bodies and the importance of appropriate test conditions.

Sealing Solutions: CLUFIX® offers variants with under-head seals for sealing issues, with material selection based on application constraints. Compliance with CEI 60529 for IP protection levels is noted.

Stainless Steel Grades: Details on the use of austenitic stainless steel and 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance, with custom solutions available for harsh environments.

Part Number Designation: The document outlines the codification system for CLUFIX® products, detailing the range, material, thread size, shape, body end options, maximum crimping thickness, surface finish, and additional options. Materials include steel, stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, and aluminum. Thread sizes range from M2.5 to M16. Shapes include flush, flange, countersunk, and water-tight heads, with round, hexagonal, and knurled bodies. Body ends can be open or closed.

Fastening Tools: References are made to TOOLIN'FIX for fastening tools, indicating the tools required for installation.

Warranty: LA CLUSIENNE guarantees that products are free from defects in material and workmanship and meet applicable product specifications. However, no warranty is made regarding merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Data Tables: Extensive tables list technical data for each model of rivet nut, including dimensions, load capacities, and other mechanical properties, crucial for selecting the appropriate rivet nut for specific applications.
