Sheet Metal Bolt Inserts

A closed end seals out elements and protects the threads on these inserts from debris.

Sheet metal bolt inserts.

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. Sheet metal fiberglass plastics composites etc. 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. They come in various lengths and wall thicknesses.

This squeezing process results in the cold flow of the sheet metal which is displaced by the nut s knurl. Zinc plated steel screw anchors hollow wall anchors for use in thin sectioned materials. A wide range of types and designs are available to suit a variety of host materials and insertion methods.

Where one surface is inaccessible. Closed end flanged barbed inserts for softwood. Threaded inserts are made of carbon steel stainless steel brass or zinc. 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.

Threads come in left or right hand versions and can be designated united fine thread unf or united coarse thread unc type. Available in short and long grip versions. Insertion into holes in sheet metal is accomplished via application of a steady squeezing force. An open end allows long screws and bolts to pass through the insert.

They can have a knurled outer surface for gripping and may be flanged. Threaded inserts self clinching captive fasteners captive self clinching fasteners are designed to be installed in sheet metal and pc boards. When properly inserted the knurl prevents torque out during the tightening of the mated part. Our miniature brass inserts and miniature sheet metal fasteners are designed for mobile handset applications.

Press fit nuts for sheet metal. Board materials and other ductile or non ductile thin material. 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. 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.
