PEM® self-clinching blind fasteners are used in applications requiring closed thread ends.

SELF-CLINCHING BLIND FASTENERS PEM® brand self-clinching blind fasteners provide permanently mounted blind threads in metal sheets as thin as .040”/1 mm. • Provides barrier to protect threads against foreign matter. • Limits screw penetration, protecting internal components from potential damage. PEM® blind fasteners employ the proven PEM® self-clinching design and are easily installed into properly sized holes. Shanks of PEM® fasteners act as their own pilots. PEM® blind fasteners can be installed with any standard press applying squeezing forces between parallel surfaces. PEM®...

Place the barrel of the fastener into the anvil hole and place the mounting hole (preferably the punch side) over the shank of the fastener. 3. With the installation punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply squeezing force until the flange contacts the mounting sheet. The sketch at the right indicates suggested tooling for applying these forces. PEMSERTER® Installation Tooling INSTALLATION NOTES For best results we recommend using a PEMSERTER® press for...
