The FH/FHS/FHA series of flush-head self-clinching studs are designed for permanent installation in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.51 mm. They install using standard pressing equipment, with the head embedding into the sheet to create high torque-out and pushout resistance. These studs are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel and are suitable for applications requiring flush mounting. FHS variants are recommended for sheets with Brinell hardness up to 125 and Rockwell B hardness up to 70, while FHA variants are intended for softer aluminum sheets with Brinell hardness up to 82 and Rockwell B hardness up to 50. FH variants are recommended for sheets with Brinell hardness up to 150 and Rockwell B hardness up to 80. Unthreaded versions are available on special order.
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.
