RIFAST® Installation process

The RIFAST® clinching process is used to clinch our standard staking bolts (EPB), our flush head staking bolts (SEB), and our thick sheet metal staking bolts (DBB) in pre-punched steel or aluminum sheet metal components. The result: ready-to-use sheet metal components with an integrated functional element that meet all of your assembly and operation requirements.

• Staking bolts size M5 to M12
• Sheet metal thicknesses 0.75 mm to 9 mm
• RIFAST® staking bolts can be used with a variety of sheet metal materials including carbon steel, aluminum, and high-strength steels (HSLA)
• Corrosion-resistant in accordance with customer requirements
• Very high positioning accuracy
• Protection of surface coatings by installing into pre-punched sheet metals
• Very high resistance against torsional and push-out forces
• Water-tight joint
• Lowest in place joint cost
