EMHART. Fastening Technology.Modules and Subassemblies.Plastic nuts for many different applications.For many parts that areto be fastenedProgress with small parts leads tosecurity with large processes.Low weight, low mounting forces butsecure assemblyLess weight without having to reduce securityand comfort; but quality and functional reliability are increased – this is achieved by usinglighter materials like aluminium, thinner steelsheet, and by using, instead of metal parts,plastic elements with creative and intelligentdesign.The support of the accelerator pedal, the fasteners of the lights, the covers and panels, orthe inserts and rear shelves: many parts canbe fastened easily and with a low mountingtorque. We offer plastic nuts with most different flange diameters, shapes and lengths forevery application. A major advantage of theplastic nut is its pre-formed thread.Even though the weight of the assembly isreduced, a higher mechanical solidity andthermal stability can be achieved. This isensured by the use of a plastic material withspecial thermoplastic matrix and glass-fibrereinforcement. As the thread is already preformed, the necessary twist-on torque is reduced. This leads to a significantly improvedadjustment range between twist-on and overtwisting torque and the nut can be mountedwith a lower torque. Ideally suited for thinsteel sheets and sensitive parts.Accelerator pedal modules, head lights, controlEmhart Module Fasteners:boxes – many types of components fastenedwith the simple, light-weight and secureTUCKER plastic nut.Optimised weightPre-formed thread è low twist-on torqueSuitable for thin sheetsApplication-specific designEconomical manufacturingOptimised use of space in fastening locationwww.emhart-vic.com – Online Clip Catalog

EMHART. Fastening Technology.Panels and covers.Carpeting and insulation blanketsCaps for the covering of openings which require a clean finish. Snap fasteners for thefastening of carpeting, panelling, insulation orcovers in the vehicle interior. But also for fixing cable and pipe retainers. The multi-fingerlocking system as stud retainer ensures thatthe snap fastener can be mounted with onlylittle pressure – either manually, semi or fullyautomatically.Wheel Arch ShellsIn contrast to today’s frequent industrial useof dowels and screws for the fixing of wheelarch shells, Emhart Teknologies offers its ownand significantly more efficient system. Itconsists of a clip and a T-stud which are setfully-automatically by a Tucker stud weldingsystem on the body-in-white. In the final assembly, the clip is just pushed manually ontothe T-stud and is locked in place. The mainadvantages are, apart from a quick, easy, andtool-free assembly, its absolute gas- and water-tightness and the low height of this studand-clip solution.Underbody panellingAlready today we are offering a wide rangeof systems solutions for the fastening of underbody panelling. Our product range coverscomponents ranging from plastic nuts withpre-formed threads to fastening elements already mounted on the body-in-white.Underbody panelling with pre-assembledplastic nuts is the standard in the automotiveindustry today. The future in panelling assembly, however, is tool-free assembly with simplepush-on systems. UB-Fast. Underbody panelling has just to be pushed onto the fasteningelements welded on the body-in-white.All components of this fastening solution formone perfectly matching system. From weldingtools to fastening elements – everything froma single source at Emhart.Easy and tool-free assemblyLow height of the stud-and-clip solution100% gas- and water-tightUB-Fast – assembly with a system:Clip-stud combination is weldedon the body-in-white.Tool-free assembly of underbodypanelling with a simple push-on systemHigh process securityWheel arch shell mounted easily but safelyon T-studs: low height, water-tightness,quick manual assemblyCorrosion-free fastening in the wheelarch shell exposed to spray water

Cable ties,bundling clips, cable retainers, cable channels and parts for secure earthing contactwith anti-rotation protection are parts of thefastening concept for on-board electricalsystems. These parts are also developed according to customer specification and meet allstandards concerning safety, environmentalprotection, and conditions of assembly.Standardized Fasteners –Modular ClipsCustomer-specified parts – cable ties,bundling clips and cable channelsThe standardized Emhart components are acost-effective and efficient fastening solutionfor cable harnesses of the most different sizesand thicknesses. System-clip modules coverthe most different demands.Based on steadily increasing demands on application for the routing of cable harnesses tobe reliable and efficient, our precisely fittingfastening elements are employed and formthe optimum connection between cable harness and mounting location.High cost-effectiveness, simple manual assembly, smallest possible dimensions and compensation for tolerances are the characteristics ofthe Emhart solution for cable harness fastening.Automatic systems will be used more frequently in future – and we have got the solution here.Cable channels hold cables of most differentcross-sections and basic materials exactly ina pre-defined location and save space. As afurther advantage they protect cables againstdamage. Due to its fastening on a weld stud,a durable and reliable mounting which lastsfor a car’s lifetime is guaranteed.

EMHART. Fastening Technology.Trim Strips and Sealing.Function for designPLASTIFAST A large number of trim strips on the vehicleexterior, as for example on the sides, the tailand the roof area, need secure and durablefastening for the complete lifetime of an automobile and have to resist different environmental influences (temperature, road salt etc)as well as automatic car wash systems.Emhart Teknologies offers an automatic assembly system for a wide range of applications,for example for trim-strip fasteners as well asfor sealing.The hole-free fastening method for trim stripsoffers the advantage of being an absolutelywater-tight fastening. In addition, thanks tothe use of plastics there is no possibility ofcorrosion at all. This is one of the basic requirements, for example in the area of theouter sill.We also offer different solutions for assemblies with drilled holes. The fastening element has to be developed according to thesupplier’s specifications as well as to the conditions of the fastening on the car body. Takentogether, these two conditions are decisivefor an easy and economical assembly in theproduction line.Emhart Trim Strip Fasteners:Optimum design PLASTIFAST stands for feeding, positioning,and setting in one process cycle with 100%process security.The clips moulded onto the flexible parts carrier („Monofil“) are held accurately and trueto the mounting position until they are set(setting process) in the mounting location; constantly controlled by the PLASTIFAST system – an Emhart Teknologies patent.After the automatic separation from the continuous carrier string, the clip is set or processed with short mounting distances preciselyon the pre-defined position.
