TUC-KS-Mutter engl. 22.09.2004 15:25 Uhr Seite 2 The Tucker plastic nut Progress in details – for more security in the overall process Less weight without any reduction in security and ease of handling, and even more quality and a higher functional reliability – lighter materials such as aluminium, thinner metal sheets and the replacement of conventional metal parts with innovative plastic elements are paving the way to this objective. One example for this is the new Tucker plastic nut. In addition to this, the nut is substantially optimizing the process of screwing it on – no matter if it is...

Technical advantages in detail • Thread turning moment and recommended joint torque are clearly separated. • The low thread forming torque moment leads to a substantially increased setting range for the assembly torque. • The low assembly torque ensures a high tensile force of the secured joint connec- • The lower assembly torque is reducing the energy consumption (e.g. the battery of the screw driver extended). • No damage to the corrosion protection and a reduced risk of corrosion in the screwed connection due to a lower fric- tion coefficient. • The thread fits to the Tucker rough thread (Xmas...

The first nuts that are available The technology that once revolutionized the application of plastic parts and clips in the automotive industry has now been implemented for the application of nuts: the plastic nut with Plastifast design. Here, the plastic nuts are, one after the other, correctly arranged for assembly and linked to form a virtually endless band. Plastic nut and band are produced in a linked form by a forming tool in one working working operation! This function is carried out joining tool which is permanently installed in fixed plants or moved by a robot. It can be integrated in...
