Self-Clinching Threaded Stud FH-0518-12ZI from PennEngineering® is designed for permanent installation in sheets of aluminum, steel, or stainless steel as thin as 0.020 inches (0.51 mm). This product features a flush-head design, providing a smooth surface and high resistance to torque-out and pushout forces. The stud is suitable for applications requiring strong threads in materials with a hardness of HRB 80 or less and HB 150 or less. It is particularly effective in environments where a secure and flush assembly is critical. The installation process involves placing the stud in a properly sized hole and using a standard press to embed it into the sheet, ensuring a reliable and durable fastening solution.
PEM® self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets and squeezing into place with any standard press. The squeezing action embeds the head of the stud into the sheet. The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove – creating a flushhead assembly and securely locking the stud into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances.
FH (flush-head) studs are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel . They are also available unthreaded on special order.
