Joining parts with nuts and bolts is a fairly simple process, until you run into large diameter applications where safely and accurately bolting your machinery can become difficult. The difficulty arises because the strength of a screw fastener increases with the square of its diameter, but the torque required increases with the third power. In…

Fasteners hold a firm fix in thin sheet metal
By Leon M. Attarian Leon M. Attarian is Director of Marketing at Penn Engineering A closer look at self-clinching fastener product families: • Nuts. Standard types have load-bearing thread strengths greater than mild steel screws. Variations focus on nut size, locking-thread properties, and special alloy materials for manufacture. All clinching during installation occurs on…

Ideal Fasteners Where Space Is Minimal
PEM® Type SMPS™ self-clinching nuts can be mounted up to 50% closer to the edge of ultra-thin steel sheets than standard self-clinching nuts. Their relatively lower profile (smaller diameter and height) further makes these fasteners ideal to serve in applications where space for attachment hardware is limited. These self-clinching nuts have been engineered to install…
