These PEM fasteners install permanently reduce hardware and promote thinner and lighter designs in stainless applications. SS FASTENERS FOR USE IN STAINLESS STEEL SHEETSFASTENERS FOR USE IN STAINLESS STEEL SHEETS One of the very basics of self-clinching is that the fastener must always be harder than the host sheet to ensure proper and permanent installation. This is particularly challenging when installing fasteners into stainless steel sheets. Therefore we have developed this line of specially hardened stainless steel fasteners for installation into stainless steel. Refer to Dos and Donts on page 24 for further information. Fasteners made from precipitation hardened grade stainless including A286 stainless are particularly useful in applications such as outdoor equipment, medical devices and chemical and food processing equipment or anywhere corrosive element exposure is possible. SP PEM 300 nuts provide strong load- FH4 and FHP studs offer externally bearing internal threads in stainless steel threaded attachment points in two stainless sheets as thin as .030/0.8mm - materials, depending on the level of corrosion PAGE 3 resistance required. (See page 24 for other non-clinching stud solutions) - PAGE 10 SMPP nuts install into stainless steel sheets as thin as .025/0.64mm. Reduced outer SGPC Swaging Collar Studs can install dimensions and thinner sheet capabilities into most panel material and accommodate compared to Type SP thread sizes - PAGE 4 multiple panels as long as the total thickness does not exceed the maximum sheet thickness - PAGE 11 A4 and LA4 internally threaded floating nuts allow for mating hole misalignment TP4 pins provide an unthreaded solution and locking threads if desired. - PAGE 5 for a wide range of positioning, pivot and alignment applications. - PAGE 12 F4 fasteners are ideal for flush applications PFC4 captive panel screws provides a tool where a stainless steel sheet requires load- only, captive screw solution for stainless bearing threads - PAGE 6 steel sheets.
