FHLS™ flush, low-displacement head studs are designed for installation into aluminum or steel sheets as thin as 1.0 mm, with a smaller head diameter allowing closer proximity to panel edges than standard FH/FHS studs. The FHLS-M5-10 variant is rated for use in materials with a Rockwell B hardness of 70 or less and a Brinell hardness of 125 or less. It has an M5 x 0.8 thread with a 10 mm threaded length, and installs in a minimum hole size of 5.2 mm with a maximum head diameter of 8.4 mm. The stud projects 1 mm above the sheet after installation, and its flush head requires a minimum sheet thickness of 1.0 mm for proper clinching.
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.
FHL (flush low-displacement head) Studs install closer to the edge of a sheet than PEM Types FH/FHS studs without causing that edge to bulge.
