Self-clinching nuts reduce fixing hardware
A 12-page product bulletin covers application data, specifications and performance information for PEM self-clinching steel, stainless steel and aluminum nuts.
When installed in metal sheets as thin as 0.63mm, PEM nuts provide permanent and reliable load-bearing threads.
With only a mating screw to complete final component attachment, users can reduce the amount and types of hardware required in an application.
Bulletin CL profiles the entire line of PEM self-clinching nuts, which provide high pushout and torque-out resistances and distortion-free installation.
They are available in thread sizes #2-56 to 1/2-20 and M2 to M10, depending on type.
The family includes specialised hardware to satisfy specific application requirements.
These include: special alloy stainless steel nuts with high hardness and high corrosion-resistance for use in thin stainless sheets; reduced-size nuts for tight, close-to-edge applications; and nuts with locking threads.
All clinching during the installation process occurs on the fastener side of the sheet, allowing the reverse side to remain flush and smooth.
Using a Pemserter press, the nuts are placed in punched or drilled holes and then squeezed with sufficient force.
Upon installation, the fasteners will not loosen or fall out.
