Sheet Metal Bolt Inserts

They can have a knurled outer surface for gripping and may be flanged.

Sheet metal bolt inserts.

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. Available in short and long grip versions. They come in various lengths and wall thicknesses. Threaded inserts self clinching captive fasteners captive self clinching fasteners are designed to be installed in sheet metal and pc boards.

The head and collapsible legs form a load bearing surface on both sides of the material. Threads come in left or right hand versions and can be designated united fine thread unf or united coarse thread unc type. An open end allows long screws and bolts to pass through the insert. Press fit nuts for sheet metal.

Sheet metal fiberglass plastics composites etc. This squeezing process results in the cold flow of the sheet metal which is displaced by the nut s knurl. Insertion into holes in sheet metal is accomplished via application of a steady squeezing force. Threaded inserts are used to repair stripped threads in plugs and other parts or to create a new threads in a hole for fastening applications.

Every part is engineered to meet critical performance requirements while optimizing production efficiency and output. Our miniature brass inserts and miniature sheet metal fasteners are designed for mobile handset applications. When properly inserted the knurl prevents torque out during the tightening of the mated part. Where one surface is inaccessible.

These metric nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. A wide range of types and designs are available to suit a variety of host materials and insertion methods.

Threaded inserts are made of carbon steel stainless steel brass or zinc. Rivet nuts aid with installation of threaded rod inserts such as bolts and rods that require strength reinforcement in surfaces that cannot support a tapped hole including some extrusions tubing or sheet metal. Zinc plated steel screw anchors hollow wall anchors for use in thin sectioned materials. Board materials and other ductile or non ductile thin material.

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.
