Plus factors

Advantages of KAPTI NUT®

Fast installation

Through the press procedure in the joining process; KAPTI NUT® forms a flange on the rear of the sheet metal. Fast and easy with just one stroke.
High strength

Since the resulting flange tapers, the fastener is securely seated as a captive fastener on the sheet metal.
Efficient production process

Additional joining processes, such as folding and punching, can be performed in parallel with installation of the KAPTI NUT®.
Fast processing

Multiple KAPTI NUT® press nuts can be processed in one production step.
