The HFE-M8-25-ZI is a heavy-duty self-clinching stud designed for installation in thin sheets of aluminum, steel, or stainless steel. It can be installed in sheets as thin as 1.00 mm (0.039 inches) and features an enlarged head diameter that enhances pull-through resistance. This stud is suitable for applications requiring high torque-out and pushout resistances, making it ideal for demanding environments. It is recommended for use in materials with a Rockwell hardness of 85 or less and a Brinell hardness of 165 or less. The installation process involves placing the stud in a properly sized hole and using a standard press to embed it securely into the sheet.
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.
HFE (heavy-duty) Studs are designed with an enlarged head diameter which projects above the sheet material and provides maximum pull through in sheets as thin as 1.00 mm.
