FOCUS ON SHEET METAL FASTENERS
Recent promotions are showing an increase in interest in our range of sheet metal fasteners. Below are just some of the more popular parts. We are interested in quoting for any requirements you have on Self Clinching fasteners and will do our best to beat your current vendor.
 |
BLIND STANDOFFS
Self Clinch Blind Stand Offs offer a cost effective way to attach a captive female thread to sheet metal panels. The body is available in various lengths to allow for distance spacing. Available in M2.5 to M5 in steel and stainless.

 |
THROUGH STANDOFFS
The same principles apply as with the Blind Standoffs but with a through hole to allow the screw to pass through if required. The parts are clinched into place with a press using a squeezing action. Available in threads M2.5 to M5 in steel and stainless.

CLINCH NUTS
These nuts are used in large quantities in metalwork fabrication. As with all self clinching parts they are squeezed into place using a press. They are very small and lightweight but offer very good pull out and torque out performance. They are available in threads M2 to M12 in steel or stainless.

RIVET BUSHES
Rivet bushes are similar to clinch nuts but are installed differently. The spigot is placed into the hole and then riveted over on the reverse side of the sheet. The knurled ring can be either on the face or the spigot to provide additional resistance to torque. A miniature version is also available to allow positioning closer to the edge of the panel. Available in threads M2 to M12 in steel or stainless.

 |
CLINCH STUDS
Clinch Studs use the same installation techniques as the rest of the clinch range but with a male thread. The head is squeezed into the parent sheet metal. All that is visible on the reverse side is a small ring from the head diameter. The annular teeth bite in to provide good torque resistance. They are available in threads M2.5 to M8 with flush heads and M6 to M12 in a non flush heavy duty head.
