PEMSERT® SELF-CLINCHING FLUSH FASTENERS BULLETIN F 1111

PEMSERT® SELF-CLINCHING FLUSH FASTENERS PEMSERT self-clinching flush nuts are designed to be completely flush in sheets as thin as .060”/1.5 mm. These fasteners are ideal for applications where a thin sheet requires load-bearing threads but still must remain smooth, with no protrusions on either surface. The PEM flush nut can be installed easily by squeezing it into a round hole in metal sheets. When the fastener is installed, both the top and the bottom of the sheet remain smooth, enhancing the functional and cosmetic qualities of the entire assembly. PEMSERT self-clinching flush nuts can...

PEMSERT® SELF-CLINCHING FLUSH FASTENERS 1. Prepare properly sized round mounting hole in sheet. Do not perform any secondary operations such as deburring. 2. Place shank of fastener into mounting hole (preferably the punch side). 3. With punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply sufficient squeezing force only to embed hexagonal head flush in sheet. The metal displaced by the head flows evenly and smoothly around the back-tapered shank of the fastener, securely locking it into place with high pullout resistance while at the same time, the embedded hexagonal head provides high torque...
