An updated six-page product bulletin profiles PEM concealed-head self-clinching studs and standoffs for permanent mounting in steel or aluminium sheets as thin as 1.6mm.
PEM self-clinching aluminium or stainless-steel threaded studs are available in thread sizes 4-40 to 10-32 and M3 through M5 and in lengths from 0.25 to 1in and 6 to 25mm.
PEM self-clinching stainless-steel threaded standoffs are offered in thread sizes 4-40 to 1/4-20 and M3 to M6 and in lengths from 0.187 to 1in and 4 to 25mm.
Sheet preparation requires only a blind milled hole to the recommended minimum depth.
Reliable installation can be performed using any standard press, including Pemserter precision presses, which are engineered exclusively for installing self-clinching fasteners.
On installation, the head of the fastener is locked securely in the milled blind hole and is able to handle substantial loads.
Mating hardware completes final attachment of components.
