Sheet Metal Bolt Inserts

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.

Sheet metal bolt inserts.

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. Threaded inserts are made of carbon steel stainless steel brass or zinc. Read more about self clinching technology. These metric nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

Available in short and long grip versions. They can have a knurled outer surface for gripping and may be flanged. The head and collapsible legs form a load bearing surface on both sides of the material. 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.

Threaded inserts self clinching captive fasteners captive self clinching fasteners are designed to be installed in sheet metal and pc boards. A closed end seals out elements and protects the threads on these inserts from debris. A wide range of types and designs are available to suit a variety of host materials and insertion methods. 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.

When properly inserted the knurl prevents torque out during the tightening of the mated part. Press fit nuts for sheet metal. Board materials and other ductile or non ductile thin material. They come in various lengths and wall thicknesses.

Threads come in left or right hand versions and can be designated united fine thread unf or united coarse thread unc type. Every part is engineered to meet critical performance requirements while optimizing production efficiency and output.

They can also be used to convert a standard threaded hole to accept metric fasteners and vice versa.

This squeezing process results in the cold flow of the sheet metal which is displaced by the nut s knurl. An open end allows long screws and bolts to pass through the insert. Zinc plated steel screw anchors hollow wall anchors for use in thin sectioned materials. Closed end flanged barbed inserts for softwood.

Insertion into holes in sheet metal is accomplished via application of a steady squeezing force.
