Assembly Methods

Our engineers can help you decide on the best fasteners to join your components. There are a wide range of options to choose from. Here are some that we recommend:

• Injected Metal Assembly (IMA)

  Outperforming most adhesives and lowering costs for small component joining and assembly production. 

  詳細

• Threaded Fasteners

  Often used to join aluminum, magnesium, and zinc components.

  詳細

• Inserts

  For designs that exceed the capabilities of the selected alloy, threaded inserts made from a different material are used for assembly.

  詳細

• Self Cutting / Forming Fasteners

  A range of fasteners that anchor in the part by cutting into or forming it as they are installed. 

  詳細

• Die Cast External Threads

  External threads can be cast or molded on cylinders across the parting line of dies, with slides, or with solid tool components.

  詳細

• Interference Fits

  Interference fits help retain components such as bearings and dowel inserts in die castings. 

  詳細

• Attachment Systems

  For attachments requiring plastic deformation of the part. 

  詳細

• Special Design Measures

  Two characteristics of die casting alloys require special design measures: galvanic potential and the response to long-term loading.
