(EMC = electromagnetic compatibility)
- Purpose:
- EMC SCREWS are used in the bonding/riveting repair method to re-establish bonding transition.
- They adopt the task of welded connections, which handle bonding transition between the individual components in series production.
- The punch or blind rivets used in the repair do not guarantee permanent bonding transition between the individual components!
- The EMC screws ensure the operational reliability and safety of the electrical/electronic components following repairs!
- Procedure for aluminum front end:
- Each welded joint which is opened must be replaced by at least 2 EMC screws.
- Position the 2 screws on the flange on which the weld seam has been separated. In the event of partial replacement, position the screws in the area of the component overlap.
- In the case of repairs using partial replacement, the number of EMC screws described in the repair instructions must be fitted.
- Drill holes to a diameter of 4.2 mm and insert screws.
- Seal EMC screws with PU seal material (risk of corrosion).
- Procedure, steel body:
- Install the number of EMC screws described in the repair instructions.
- Drill holes to a diameter of 4.2 mm and insert screws.
- Seal EMC screws with PU seal material (risk of corrosion).
