Self clinching sheet metal.
Clinching or press joining is a bulk sheet metal forming process aimed at joining thin metal sheet without additional components using special tools to plastically form an interlock between two or more sheets.
The process is generally performed at room temperature but in some special cases the sheets can be pre heated to improve the material ductility and thereby avoid the formation of cracks during the process.
Pem fasteners pem brand fasteners utilize self clinching broaching flaring surface mount or weld technology to provide strong reusable and permanent threads and mounting points in thin sheet metal p c.
Captive self clinching fasteners are designed to be installed in sheet metal and pc boards.
In short the process is that a punch will push the overlapping material into a die.
In clinching a rivet like joint is made from the stud and track themselves without any added fastener.
This feature allows the side of the sheet opposite installation to remain smooth and untouched.
In addition we have partnered with the finest companies to manufacture components for sheet metal enclosures all of which are available for order.
They are typically pressed into pre punched holes using squeezers many types of presses and auto feed rivet machines.
These include our own branded hank self clinch fasteners hank rivet bushes and k series nuts.
Key keyhole standoffs types skc sk4.
Form fitting non positive connections through clinching.
Pem self clinching concealed head standoffs install permanently in steel or aluminum sheets as this as 062 1 6mm.
If your product or application requires an industrial fastener that is ideally suited for use on stainless steel sheet metal jhp fasteners recommends the use of a self clinching nut that is designed specifically for that purpose.
Jhp fasteners offers self clinching nuts for stainless steel in a wide variety of thread sizes both inch and metric.
At the bottom of the die is an anvil so the material will be squeezed between the punch and the anvil to form the clinch joint.
Tr s sheet metal clinching products provide strong load bearing threads in sheet metal of differing thicknesses.
Tr fastenings manufactures and distributes a wide spectrum of sheet metal fastening products that are pressed into pre punched holes.
Clinching uses cold forming to produce two layer or multilayer joints of metal sheets and or profiles similar to snap fasteners.
Self clinching fastener solutions for pressing installation.
They provide a permanently attached threaded fastener which becomes an integral part of the panel or frame and eliminates the challenges associated with loose hardware.
Clinching is characterized by a series of advantages over competitive technologies.
Cad spec literature part no.
By means of rivclinch joining technology steel and stainless steel materials as well as aluminum and other non ferrous materials are joined together in a cost effective and environmentally friendly manner.
Board materials and other ductile or non ductile thin material.
