Penn launches strong, self-clinching PEM studs

A Penn Engineering product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 14, 2009

PennEngineering is offering a family of PEM large-sized self-clinching studs for applications demanding high-strength and reliable performance.

The clinch studs, in lengths up to 6/152mm and thread sizes up to 12/M14, allows users to select from a range of variations to tailor fastener to application needs.

The carbon steel or alloy steel studs are typically specified for applications with especially high fastener torque out and pushout requirements.

Their large diameter and strong heads help reduce compressive stress on panels and develop full thread strength in service.

Among available variations, studs can be ordered in assorted head and clinch styles, including six-lobe, multi-lug, knurl and hexagonal.

They can be heat treated to achieve greater tensile strength (up to Grade 10.9) and dog-point threads will enable quick location of the mating fastener.

Mathread/Matpoint anti-cross-threading design will allow for threads to self-align to prevent jamming, correct off-angle installations, and speed production.

All types can be supplied in a range of finishes and coatings.

The studs install easily (without welding) using any parallel acting press or automated equipment, and embed securely and permanently in metal sheets or sections as thin as .036/.91mm, with hardness up to HRB 85/HB 165.

They can reliably attach components or assemblies in the agricultural, automotive and railroad, construction, electrical, HVAC, and material handling industries, among others.
