RIVKLE Elastic The Principle

The RIVKLE Elastic is an easily fitted fastener, where components subject to vibration are not only securely and tightly screwed together from one side of the workpiece, but at the same time oscillation is dampened, along with any vibrationary noise. In addition, an electrically insulated screw fastening is created between two components. The fastening consists of a metal threaded insert captured within a bearing component made of thermoplastic elastomer. The brass insert is coated in EPDM-X+PP. On installation, the RIVKLE Elastic is inserted into a pilot hole drilled or pierced within the holding component. Clamping nodules beneath the external flange retain the fastener in its unset state, preventing loss during assembly. As the threaded portion of the female insert is at the base of the elastomer fastener, tightening a mating screw draws back the fastener to form a bead which bears against the blind side of the component.

The Advantages:

mounted from one side of the workpiece

absorbs vibrations thereby reducing noise insulates against heat and electricity

a force-locked screw fastening, producing screw security by means of appropriate starting torque

Technical Data

The starting torque MA is dependent on the component material and the quality of the screw. Axial load F should be tested for each application with all parameters being synchronised.

If component A is made of steel, with a pilot hole to DIN ISO 273, RIVKLE Elastic without washer should be used. RIVKLE Elastic with washer is preferred for components made of plastic, aluminium or steel with an oblong hole. A starting torque can be stipulated for the screw fastening according to the pressure resistance of the fastening component.
