RIFAST Fastener Core Advantages
Our standard designs provide robust solutions to your specific requirements
The three main benefits of RIFAST fasteners are simple pierced holes with easy installation, flush mounting, and watertightness. Our engineering team supports our customers by helping them find the perfect solution for their applications. By evaluating the problem and comparing fastener benefits and specialties, the engineering team works as part of the customer’s team to help create the best quality product.
Cost efficient joining concepts
start with simple tool integration
Our functional elements are engineered in a way that ensures very simple designs of the interface to the stamping part. The majority of our functional elements are either self-piercing or come along with a simple round hole. This makes the RIFAST products easy to process and tool adjustments very simple to execute.
Maximum design flexibility and robustness
We want to make sure that our functional elements offer a maximum flexibility for the user. This is why we designed a joining concept that ensures a flat surface for the part to be connected. By doing so, we provide maximum available space and ensure optimal fastening conditions. We pushed this advantage even further with our SEB product line by providing a concept where the stud‘s head disappears within the metal sheet, thus offering a solution for applications with little available space.
The RIFAST watertight joining concept
The RIFAST clinching concept minimizes material elongation and cracks occurrence, providing an excellent pre-requisite for watertight applications. Most of our functional elements fulfil IPx7 requirements or more, and are perfectly suitable for critical high voltage applications. Watertightness qualification is part of the validations we can perform on demand.
