TPS™ pilot pins are flush-head self-clinching fasteners designed for positioning, pivot, and alignment applications in sheets as thin as .040" / 1 mm. They feature a chamfered end to ease mating hole location and are suitable for installation in steel, aluminum, or stainless steel sheets with specified hardness limits: TPS pins are recommended for sheets with HRB ≤ 70 and HB ≤ 125, while TP4 pins are for sheets with HRB ≤ 92 and HB ≤ 195. The pins install permanently using a standard press, and the displaced material forms a secure, flush assembly with high resistance to torque-out and pushout.
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.
FTPS, TP4 Pilot Pins satisfy a wide range of positioning, pivot, and alignment applications. The chamfered end makes mating hole location easy
