TPS™ pilot pins are flush-head self-clinching fasteners designed for positioning, pivot, and alignment applications in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel sheets as thin as .040"/1 mm, with a chamfered end to facilitate mating hole location. They are suitable for panels with Rockwell B hardness up to 92 and Brinell hardness up to 125 for TPS, and up to 195 for TP4 variants. The pins install permanently using standard press equipment, embedding into the sheet material to provide secure retention with high torque-out and pushout resistance.
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
