Snap Fit Solutions:
ARaymond Tinnerman snap fit solutions install in seconds and can eliminate mechanical fasteners from view, improving the aesthetics of the end product. To take full advantage of their benefits, these parts should be specified early in the design process.
Self-Retaining Threaded Fasteners:
ARaymond Tinnerman self-retaining threaded fasteners, like expansion nuts and u-nuts, increase overerall quality of the end product. They eliminate the need for re-work and the potential replacement of an entire panel due to sheet metal screw stripping. The u-nut also accomodates build variation, which makes assembly easier and more consistent. Assembly cost experts have determined, via extensive analysis, that material cost of the fastening system is only 4% of the cost of the total joint. Assembly and re-work can be 10 times that much, with warranty and service calls adding an additional 50%. We believe u-nuts and expansion nuts will decrease overall cost, while increasing overall quality. These parts are also reusable, helping end-product serviceability.
Palnut Stamped Nuts:
Palnut brand, stamped nuts provide several advantages over the traditional hex-shaped cold-headed nuts, by eliminating the need for a washer and lock-washer and reducing material and inventory costs. Installing with Palnuts requires less torque, reducing damage to more sensitive panels caused by over-torquing. The self-threading option eliminates the need for a threaded rod or screw and can be assembled directly to injection molded parts.
Push-Pins/Rivets/Darts:
Push-pin fasteners, rivets and darts decrease overall cost by reducing asasembly time and re-work associated with sheet metal screws. They’re quick, lightweight and easy to use.
Wire Management:
Protecting cable, wiring and tubing from moving parts and panel edges is a necessary requirement in many appliance builds. ARaymond Tinnerman plastic clips, straps and assemblies, as well as spring steel cable clips, provide a dependable means of safely securing these components. Parts are simple to install and provide reliable retention.
