Fastening Mechanisms
 

Types of Intevia® Intelligent Fastening Mechanisms
To date, four families of Intevia® intelligent fastening mechanisms have been developed, each providing a different type of actuation and customization for specific customer applications:

Radial Mechanisms

 

Ring Mechanisms

 

Beam Mechanisms

 


Size
The size of the Intevia® fastening mechanism is generally dictated by application and engineering requirements. Minimum sizes are also dependent on the size of the integrated electronic component.

Joint Strength
Intevia® intelligent fasteners are designed using conventional engineering principles to meet strength and serviceability requirements. Like traditional fasteners, the intelligent fasteners are designed to meet the functional requirements of a specific application.

Materials
Intevia® intelligent fastening mechanisms that can be manufactured in a range of materials depending on the requirements of the application, for example, metal, where strength is an important design consideration, or in a suitable plastic material for high volume, cost effective production.
