Functional principle


As a one-piece element, the smart plug combines the technology of a blind rivet with that of a closed blind rivet nut. It is reshaped during the installation process and closes the component.

Benefits


  • Allows for assembly without chips, burrs, and particles
  • Fast and cost-efficient installation with standard tools in a stable process
  • Disassembly without damaging the counterpart
  • Bores can be reused– no repeat preparation required
  • Promotes a high degree of automation
  • Intelligent alternative to conventional solutions such as expanders, screw plugs, press-fit balls, and multi-part closing systems
