Captive screws cut dangers of damage
A new range of threaded access hardware features captive screws to help keep parts to a minimum and eliminate risks associated with loose hardware that could fall out and damage internal components.
PEM threaded access hardware is ideal for attachment applications where subsequent access to an assembly will be necessary.
Captive screws keep parts to a minimum and intact.
The "anti-cross-thread" design provides added value by correcting off-angle installations, aligning components, and easily sliding through clogged internal threads.
The design promotes improved productivity on the assembly line during fastener installation.
As threads come into contact, the anti-cross-thread begins to cam over the female thread; the two thread helixes align; and fasteners drive quickly and properly with reduced effort.
PEM threaded access hardware incorporating the "anti-cross-thread" design can be ordered in various types and mounting styles (self-clinching, broaching, flare-in, floating, or surface mount) and in a range of unified and metric thread sizes and assorted screw lengths.
