Studs for thin assemblies

All types of PEM studs provide cost-effective and practical alternatives to weld studs or other joining methods by enabling easier installation with fewer production steps and more reliable performance in service. They install quickly, securely, and permanently using a standard press. The product lineup includes types of flush-head studs for use in aluminium or steel sheets as thin as 1mm and stainless versions offering optimum corrosion resistance in even thinner stainless steel assemblies. There is also a low-displacement flush head stud for effective close-to-edge installation, a non-flush stud for sheets as thin as 0.51mm and heavy-duty studs whose heads project above the thin host sheet to distribute axial tightening force over a larger area and improve pull through resistance. Busbar studs functioning as superior electrical/mechanical attachment points, high tensile strength studs whose medium carbon alloy steel is heat-treated for high strength and hardness to withstand application demands and concealed-head studs where the sheet opposite installation will remain smooth and unmarred complete the range. PEM self-clinching threaded studs are available in a variety of materials and lengths. Optional features include a dog point lead-in to promote quick location of the mating fastener and MAThread anti cross-thread technology allowing threads to self-align and drive easily.
