Pulley Stud® is a patented design used in automotive window regulator assemblies within a car door. The pulley Stud captives the pulley wheel whilst still allowing it to freely rotate as the window opening mechanism is operated. The Pulley Stud is assembled to the window regulator pressing using a simple press fitted assembly process. It has a male threaded stud that is used to mount the window regulator to the inside of the door assembly.
The P-S & P-CLS Clinching Nut is a threaded fastener which incorporates a knurled platform and a groove. This knurled platform, when embedded in the sheet, causes the displaced material to flow evenly into the groove of the fastener to give a positive retention.
The P-FH Clinching Stud is a threaded fastener which incorporates a knurled platform under the head. When embedded in the sheet material, it displaces material into the clinch ring securing the fastener.
Self-Clinching Standoffs are designed to serve as spacers or distance pieces. A simple squeezing action embeds the hexagonal head into the sheet causing the displaced metal to flow into the clinching groove.
P-F Flush Self-Clinching Nuts have been designed to provide a thread within the sheet thickness to provide a flush finish to both sides. A simple squeezing action embeds the hexagonal head into the sheet, while the displaced metal flows evenly round the back tapered shank securely locking it into place.
FLANGEFORM® Nuts are threaded fasteners with unique ribs designed for installation into thin gauge materials. The fastener plunges the prepunched hole and wraps itself around the material whilst the ribs embed themselves providing an integral high strength attachment point.
FLANGEFORM® Studs are threaded fasteners with unique ribs designed for installation into thin gauge materials. The fastener plunges the pre-punched hole and wraps itself around the material whilst the ribs embed themselves providing an integral high strength attachment point. Flangeform studs are available with dog-points, plain shank and shouldered.
FLANGEFORM® Closed End Nuts are threaded fasteners with unique ribs designed for installation into thin gauge materials. The fastener plunges the pre-punched hole and wraps itself around the material whilst the ribs embed themselves providing an integral high-strength attachment point. The one piece design provides a water tight seal, ideal for roof rack applications or when sealing is required.
Flangeform® Ball Studs are one piece attachments with unique ribs designed for installation into thin gauge materials. The ball stud plunges the pre-punched hole and wraps itself around the material whilst the ribs embed themselves providing a high strength attachment point with exceptional bending moment properties. The ball stud can be manufactured with a large or small head.
High-Performance Clinching Studs are designed to bring higher levels of performance to the P-FH range of fasteners for applications that do not demand a flush head condition.
P-FH4 Studs are made out of heat-treated 400 series stainless steel, and can be installed into stainless steel material as thin as 0.40” (1.0mm) with a hardness of 92 HRB.
Blind Nuts will encapsulate the internal loose fastener. The blind nut is a quicker and more economical method compared to loose nut and screw-type hardware which require special seals.
Self-Clinching Miniature Nuts provide strong threads in a minimum of space. Miniature Nuts are made out of 300 series stainless steel and are available with self-locking threads and non-locking threads.
The ASL type has been designed to incorporate the benefits of nylon collar lock nuts into a serrated Anchor Rivet Bush with a reusable nylon locking element fitted into the rear of the bush.
The Self-Clinching Pilot Pin is a plain stainless steel un-threaded fastener. It incorporates a platform under the head, which when embedded in the sheet, displaces material into the clinch ring securing the fastener firmly in place. Used for location, pivot and alignment applications.
Broaching Nuts are used with printed circuit boards and other hard or brittle materials. In addition, they can be used on materials too thin for threading, such as acrylic and polycarbonate panels.
Broaching Studs are used with printed circuit boards and other hard or brittle materials. In addition, since they feature an electro tin plating, they can be used as solderable connectors.
Broaching Standoffs are used for installation into printed circuit boards, and allows screws to be installed through multiple layered boards and stacked assemblies.
Self-Clinching Spring-Top Standoffs are designed for permanent installation into sheet metal. The spring-top design allows a printed circuit board or other panels to be quickly attached and unattached.
Self-Clinching Slidetop Standoffs are designed for permanent installation into sheet metal. They are used when a printed circuit board or other panels need to be quickly attached and unattached, by way of a simple sliding motion.
Self-Clinching Floating Nuts provide a self-clinching fastener body along with an internal floating nut compensating for mating misalignments. The floating nuts are available in standard and locking versions.
Self-Clinching Panel Fastener assemblies are ideal for limited-space applications, and reduce the risk of contamination of loose hardware within internal systems.
The Anchor® Rivet Bush (ARB) is a threaded fastener which incorporates a serrated shank. This shank when riveted over, cuts into the surface of the sheet, providing high torque resistance while firmly retaining the push in position.
MINARB® is a miniaturized Anchor® Rivet Bush/STAND OFF designed for use where space is at a premium.
Self-Locking Minarb® is a miniaturized Anchor® Rivet Bush for sheet metal with an inbuilt all-metal self-locking feature. It combines the simplicity and reliability of a standard Minarb® with a thread locking capability.
Threaded spacers and support pillars provide a spacing panels and/or other components with standard nuts and machine screws. Available with reusable threads, for high temperature applications and where high electrical insulation is required.
Feed Systems for in-die sheet metal fasteners offer considerable cost savings. A variety of options and system designs are available utilizing existing press equipment, from manual loading through to fully automated handling and installation. The feed systems can be used in a progression or transfer press, robotic cell or off-line presses, feeding both nuts and studs in multiple orientations.
