FH, FHS, and FHA flush-head self-clinching studs and pins are designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.51 mm. They offer high torque-out and pushout resistance, with the FH type suitable for sheets with a Rockwell B hardness of 80 or less and Brinell hardness of 150 or less. The FHS type is recommended for sheets with Rockwell B hardness of 70 or less and Brinell hardness of 125 or less. The FHA type is intended for aluminum sheets with Rockwell B hardness of 50 or less and Brinell hardness of 82 or less. Unthreaded variants are available on special order. All install by pressing into a properly sized hole, displacing material to form a secure, flush assembly.
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.
