Self-clinching flush nuts install without protrusions

This latest Pemsert will insert into 300 Series stainless steel sheets, as thin as 1.53mm, but both the top and bottom of the sheet will remain flat for enhanced cosmetic qualities of the entire assembly. The nuts will also help deliver production efficiencies down the line by installing flush before sheet bending or forming operations get under way and eliminating any risk of interference associated with protruding hardware. Installation is accomplished by squeezing the nut into a round hole in a stainless sheet using sufficient force to embed the nut's hexagonal head flush in the sheet. The metal displaced by the head then flows evenly around the back-tapered shank of the fastener to securely lock the nut permanently into place. Both the hexagonal head and the fastener's self-clinching design combine to deliver high pullout resistance and torque tolerance. Only a single mating screw is required to complete the attachment process. The nuts are manufactured from 400 Series stainless steel in thread sizes M2 to M6. They can perform as intended in stainless steel sheets with hardness up to HRB 88 on the Rockwell B scale or HB 183 on the Brinell scale. Detailed specifications, installation animation, Cad models, and performance data for these RoHS-compliant fasteners can be accessed at the company's website.
