Self Clinching Studs for Thin Material

These self-clinching studs are an ideal choice when dealing with thin-sheet materials. They can be effectively used in materials as thin as .020” (0.5mm) and will provide excellent overall performance. Self Clinching Studs for thin sheet materials works great for cold rolled steel.

Self Clinching Studs for Thin Material Application Notes:

The self-clinching stud is inserted into a properly sized hole that has either been drilled or punched into the sheet material. A manual press or an automated press device may be used to insert the stud. Depending on the thread size of the stud, in combination with the sheet material being used, an installation force of between 1300 and 3700 pounds will be required. When properly inserted, the stud head will project above the surface of the sheet material. It is important not to exceed the recommended installation force.

Depending on the self-clinching stud’s thread size, in combination with the composition and thickness of the sheet material being used, the following performance ranges will be achieved:

  • Push-out performance: Between 40 and 145 pounds
  • Torque-out performance: Between 6.9 and 29.7 pounds

When having to deal with very thin sheet material, it is important to select a self-clinching fastener that will provide sufficient thin-material performance. The non-flush, self-clinching stud is an ideal choice for those applications. Monroe JHP Fasteners offers a wide assortment of these industrial fasteners at very competitive pricing.
