5/16-18 Self Clinching Studs FHS 304 Stainless Steel PEM Screw A2-70 Flushed Head Stud

Description

5/16-18 Self clinching studs or PEM screw uses the proven self-clinching design, install with a squeeze in punched or drilled round holes and become permanently mounted in the thin sheet; Thread sizes #2 to #3/8″ and M3 to M10. Self-Clinching studs are pressed into a hole in a sheet to be installed, this embeds the head of the stud creating a secure lock into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances.
PEM self-clinching studs are installed by placing them in properly sized holes in the sheets and squeezing into place with any standard press. The squeezing action embeds the head of the stud into the sheet. The metal displaced by the head flows smoothly and evenly around the ribs and into the annular groove – creating a flush head assembly and securely locking the stud into the sheet with high torque-out and pushout resistances. Our company also provides custom-made fasteners & other precision components.
FH (flush-head) studs are available in aluminum, steel, or stainless steel. They are also available unthreaded on special order.
Flush-head for sheet thickness of 1.00mm and greater.
Type FH is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 80 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 150 or less.
Type FHS is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 70 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 125 or less.
Type FHA is recommended for use in aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 50 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 82 or less. Ever Hardware provides fasteners and customizable packaging.

Stainless steel 5/16-18 self clinching studs does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor air-circulation environments. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required.
