NP - Self Clinching Fasteners - Unthreaded Pins
|
|
Self Clinching Flush Head Pins provide an easy way to obtain a strong captivated alignment or pivoting point in thin sheet metal.
As the name suggests Flush Head Pins install fully flush on the back of the panel meaning that minimal surface finishing is required after installation.
The proven Clinch formation provides excellent resistance to sideways loads.
Available to special order only in Steel, Stainless Steel and Aluminium in diameters of 3mm, 4mm and 5mm in a range of lengths.
Like all self clinching fasteners they are installed using a parallel squeezing action so require access to both sides of the panel.

First punch or drill the correct size hole. DO NOT deburr the hole prior to installation as this will remove material required during the clinching process. It is preferable to install the fastener from the side of the panel with the burring or blow through.
Place the fastener in the hole like in the diagram above making sure the part is seated squarely.
Apply a parallel squeezing force until the head is embedded flush in the panel.
When installing Self Clinching fasteners, please pay attention to the minimum hole centerline to edge and parent material hardness limitations.
For special applications or if you are unsure of any aspect about the usage or installation of this fastener, give our sales office a call and we will do our best to offer you a solution or give advice on your application.

The above data is based on average values obtained in a test environment. Variations in hole size, panel material and installation will effect performance. It is recommended that you carry out your own performance tests in the actual application. Contact our sales department who will be happy to supply samples free of charge.
