Federklammer

Federklammer, also known as a spring clip or wire clip, is a type of fastener that uses the elasticity of bent metal to create a clamping force. These clips are typically made from spring steel or other resilient metals. The design often involves one or more flexible arms that are bent to create tension when inserted into a hole or around an object. This tension holds the clip in place.

Federklammer are used in a wide variety of applications due to their simplicity, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. They are commonly found in furniture manufacturing, automotive interiors, electronics, and general hardware. For instance, they can be used to attach panels, secure cables, or hold components together without the need for screws or adhesives. Their spring action allows for some degree of vibration dampening and accommodates slight variations in size.

The manufacturing process for Federklammer involves stamping or bending metal wire to achieve the desired shape and spring tension. They come in many forms, including U-shaped clips, J-shaped clips, and clips with additional features for specific mounting needs. Their reusability is another advantage, as they can often be removed and reattached without losing their holding power.
