Carbon Steel Floating LockClinching Nut

The carbon steel floating lock clinching nut is made from stainless steel,like SUS304 or SUS316. It's really good at holding up against rust. That makes the floating lock long clinching nut work well in tough spots,like outdoors, in wet places, or around chemicals. Plus, this stainless steel stays strong even when things get pretty hot.

This floating lock clinching nut won't rust or fall apart even when exposed to weather, moisture, or chemicals. The 300 Series handles these conditions naturally, requiring no additional coating or protection. If you need a fastener that's durable enough to withstand harsh environments, choose this heat-treated carbon steel floating lock long clinching nut.

Application：

This carbon steel floating lock clinching nut is widely used in industries that need tough, rust-resistant fastening for thin materials. You’ll find it in electrical enclosures, car parts like brackets and panels, HVAC ducting, telecom equipment, sheet metal furniture, and appliance making.

It’s great for when you need strong load-bearing threads but can’t use welding or regular nuts. Maybe you’re working with thin metal where welding would warp it, or you only have access to one side. This nut gives you a solid threaded connection without extra steps, and the stainless steel keeps it from rusting in those applications.

How to install correctly

To put in this carbon steel floating lock clinching nut, you basically need a regular hydraulic or pneumatic clinching press with the matching tooling set, the right punch and die. How much force? Usually somewhere between 20 to 40 kN. It really depends on how thick your metal panel is,most are between 1.0 and 3.0mm,and which size floating lock long clinching nut you're using.

The 'long clinching' part:When you press this nut into the panel, it sort of makes the panel metal flow around the nut. This locks it in place really well,it'll cut down on shaking and seals decently too. The whole thing is pretty simple: line up the floating lock clinching nut in your pre-punched hole, hit it with the press using the right force, and the design does the work to make a solid connection that holds tight.
