Self clinching threaded inserts: an alternative to welding
|
PSM CELADA Fasteners manufactures self-clinching threaded inserts (fasteners) for thin sheet metal that solve the problem of creating strong threads on any sheet metal from 0.5 mm thickness.
Traditionally, the need for threading on sheet metal is solved by projection welding of a pin or nut or by directly threading the hole (tapping).
|
What are the technical, economic and above all environmental advantages of using the press-fit method proposed by PSM CELADA Fasteners?
-
Total elimination of radiation, fumes and dust from the welding process, as well as solving safety issues and their management. self-clinching fasteners are installed with a simple-to-use press.
-
Installation is possible on thin sheets that are resistant to high torque and axial and transverse loads.
-
The self-clinching fasteners do not damage protective surface treatments regardless of the type of material, especially for galvanised or stainless sheet metal.
-
Threads are strong and reliable regardless of the varying degree of hardness of sheet metal.
-
Threads can be made even within a few tenths of a fold or punched edge.
-
Any captive thread can be created with the same ease as creating a ''female'' thread with high mechanical stresses.
.
-
With the appropriate self-clinching fasteners, it is possible to create watertight threads even in the presence of pressurised fluids.
.
-
Elimination of thread axis misalignment.
