Flexitol: High Strength Fastener for Tolerance Compensation

FLEXITOL® Metal is a specialized fastening system engineered to deliver precise tolerance compensation and secure joints in battery tray manufacturing. Designed for applications where dimensional variations are common, FLEXITOL® Metal ensures optimal fit and function in every assembly. Its benefits include: Automatic Tolerance Compensation: FLEXITOL® Metal automatically adjusts to compensate for gaps and dimensional variations between components, ensuring a consistently tight and secure joint—critical for battery trays where precise assembly is essential. All-Metal Construction: Manufactured entirely from metal, FLEXITOL® Metal provides high strength and durability, making it suitable for demanding automotive and industrial environments. Versatile Integration: Available in multiple variants—including blind rivet nut, weld nut, direct thread, and plastic embedding—FLEXITOL® Metal can be used with a wide range of materials and battery tray designs. Secure and Repeatable Joints: The system’s unique adjustment element with integrated friction function ensures reliable, vibration-resistant joints that maintain their integrity even under dynamic loads and thermal cycling. Blind Installation Capability: FLEXITOL® Metal can be installed from one side of the workpiece, simplifying assembly in applications with limited access—ideal for complex battery tray designs. Efficient Assembly: The fastener’s design streamlines the installation process, supporting both manual and automated assembly, and reducing cycle times for high-volume battery production. Reusable Solution: FLEXITOL® Metal can be reused up to five times, supporting maintenance and repairs without compromising performance. Corrosion and Environmental Resistance: With material and coating options tailored to battery environments, FLEXITOL® Metal offers excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, and harsh operating conditions. Cost-Effective: By compensating for manufacturing tolerances and minimizing the need for precision machining or rework, FLEXITOL® Metal reduces overall manufacturing costs and supports efficient, high-quality battery tray assembly.
