The WNS-832-0 is a stainless steel self-locating projection weld nut for #8-32 threads, designed for welding onto metal sheets. It has a round head and self-locating shank to eliminate indexing and protect threads from spatter. The part has a shank diameter of 0.218 in, a minimum hole size of 0.217 in, and a minimum distance from hole center to sheet edge of 0.371 in. It is installed using a press-type spot-welding machine with flat-faced electrodes 0.125 in larger than the E dimension. The nut is passivated and features copper flash for corrosion resistance and feedability. Axial pushout strength for 0.060 in cold-rolled steel is 760 lbs, and torque-out strength is 33 in-lbs.
PEM® weld nuts (Types WN/WNS) provide load-bearing threads in metal sheets too thin to tap, and permit faster assembly.
PEM brand weld nuts overcome many problems associated with other weld nuts – burn-outs, complicated electrodes and pilots, tedious time-consuming indexing and re-tapping to remove weld spatter. Their design, based on the experience of hundreds of users of weld nuts, speeds production using standard equipment, thereby reducing labor costs.
PEM stainless steel weld nuts offer the added advantage of resisting corrosion. You may specify steel or stainless steel for your requirements and be sure you are getting the weld nuts that are easiest to install. A variety of welding equipment is suitable for installation of PEM weld nuts. Best results have been obtained with a 50KVA press-type, spot-welding machine whose upper welding head moves vertically in a straight line with the lower electrode. Flat-faced electrodes with tip diameters .125” / 3.2 mm larger than the “E” dimension of the PEM weld nut should be used.
