High-Strength Stud HFH-032-8ZI from PennEngineering® is a heavy-duty self-clinching stud designed for permanent installation in sheets as thin as 0.020 inches (0.51 mm). It features a large head that projects above the sheet material, which helps distribute axial tightening forces over a larger area, enhancing pull-through resistance. This stud is suitable for use in steel or aluminum sheets with a Rockwell hardness (HRB) of 85 or less and a Brinell hardness (HB) of 165 or less. The HFH series is particularly advantageous for applications requiring high strength and reliability, making it a viable alternative to weld studs with easier installation and lower costs.
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.
HFH (heavy-duty) Studs replace weld studs with easier installation at lower costs. The large stud head which projects above the sheet material distributes the axial tightening force over a large area thereby improving pull through resistance .
HFHB (heavy-duty BUSBAR®) Studs are ideal for applications which demand superior electrical/mechanica
