ENDFIX - écrou en bout de tube

ENDFIX
Nut for conveyor/tube ends

The addition of a thread at the end of a tube can be costly, both from process and procurement points-of-view. Secondary operations are often also required to improve the finish of the assembly.

Customer needs

Manufacturers of conveyor systems, or anyone using tubing in metal fabrication), often need to add a threaded function to the end of a tube.

This task can be highly burdensome and there are definitive needs for:

  • Reducing process time
  • Assuring repeatability
  • Reducing purchasing costs

Clufix solution

For many applications Clufix proposes crimping a specialty nut, called ENDFIX to the end of the tube. An ENDFIX nut can be installed with any pneumatic crimping tool in a matter of seconds. The installation is simple and fast.

The ENDFIX is a robust product whose installation also induces less risk of damage to the host tube as the deformation is localized and controlled.

Benefits

  • Total cost reduction in adding the thread by:
    • Process cost reduction
    • Minimizing equipment investment
    • Eliminating secondary operations
  • Less risk of damage to host assembly
  • Higher repeatability
  • Operator task simplification (more ergonomic)
  • Aesthetic improvement
