Catalog excerpts

PEM® Heavy Duty Clinch Studs capabilities and design guide PEM® heavy duty self-clinching studs are typically used when high torque out and pushout and, if necessary, high tensile/shear strength are required. These studs are easy to install, have a low installed cost, and have consistent performance characteristics. Available Features and Benefits • Head strength is adequate to develop full thread strength. • Specially heat-treated for greater tensile and shear strength. • Large head diameter reduces compressive stress on panel. • Can be used in material as thin as .036” / .91mm. • Easy to install. No welding. • Can be installed with automated equipment. • RoHS compliant materials and finishes. • Installs into panels up to HRB 85 / HB 165. Capabilities (not all combinations available) • Thread Strength: Grade 5 through 8 and property class 8.8 to 10.9 • Assorted head and clinch styles: • Thread types and sizes: – Thread sizes up to 1/2” and M14 – Available with dog point – Available with MAThread®/MATpoint® anti cross-threading feature (1) • Lengths: Up to 6” and 152mm • Materials: Carbon steel & Alloy steel • Finishes: – Zinc (black, yellow, clear), Nickel, Black Oxide, Waxing, Geomet®, Phosphate, and other specified (2) (1) PennEngineering is a licensee for MAThread®/MATpoint® technology, a registered trademark of MAThread Inc.

PEM® Heavy Duty Clinch Studs PEM® heavy duty studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheet or metal section and squeezing them into place using any parallel acting press. The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the anti-rotational feature, and into the annular groove, locking the fastener securely in place. Typical Industries Stud embeds permanently into sheet. Head strength is adequate to develop full thread strength. • Industrial Machinery • Material handling Other Notes Some combinations available on special order only. For standard...
