Home > Self Clinching > Clinch Nuts > ACN Series High Strength Clinch Nut by Sherex

The ACN clinch nut is designed to be installed into pre-pierced holes. Displacement lobes on the bottom of the nut force the sheet to flow into the locking groves. As a result the nut has high push out and torque values. The ACN clinch nut is designed for thicker sheet metal applications (above 2mm). A special design of the nut can be used in thinner sheet metal applications. The unique feature of this nut is that the underside of the sheet metal stays flat with no indents.


Can be used in thick sheet metal applications from 2mm to 10mm thick. Compatible with Class 8, 9, & 10 hardware depending on application requirements.
