How a Hank Bush Works

18
Profiled
Punch
Sheet

Anvil

The Hank® Rivet Bush and Hank- Swage® Nut can be installed using a variety of methods,
ideally a press incorporating a profile punch. However, both of these products can be
installed using a simple hammer and ball bearing.

How Self Clinch Works

Punch

Nut
Sheet

Anvil

The Hank-Clinch Fastener must be squeezed into place by applying a constant squeezing
action and not a blow (or Trauma) type force, in short an automated press of some type,
must be used for installation.
