Reduces asembly time by up to 75%.
TriPress® is a triangular quick fastening system that can be clinched into plastic, light metals and steel. You can join two components quickly and economically by pressing in the TriPress® fastener.
Technology in application
The TriPress® is available in the following designs:
triangular shank and axially parallel knurls provide high torsional strength
circumferential locking flutes on triangular shaft generate high pull-out resistance
combinations of flutes and knurls create positive-fit fastenings and achieve high torsional torques and pull-out forces
The fastener can be clinched into pre-prepared holes or injected as inserts into plastic housings.
The advantages of the triangular shape:
approximately 35 % greater torsional torques compared with round-knurled bolts
greater vibration resistance
highly reliable when fitting nuts with TriPress® centre collar version (MB) and TriPress® connecting fastener
Benefits of the circumferential locking flutes:
improves pull-out forces
very secure against unscrewing by itself
The advantages of TriPress® over screw fastenings:
75 % less fitting time
no assembly errors
independent of pre-stress forces
force-controlled clinching
uses more economical operating materials and tools
The advantages of TriPress® over injection moulded screws (In plastics):
no need to insert metal parts into injection moulds
shorter cycle times
no lost fastener elements
