Self-clinching threaded inserts are positioned into properly drilled holes in sheet metal and, by applying pressure, achieve a high-strength mechanical fastening.
Self-clinching pressure-threaded inserts represent a cold fastening system for sheet metal. Their installation requires correctly sized holes in the metal sheet and gradual mounting pressure, which can be applied using specific hydraulic or pneumatic presses for automatic fastenings, ensuring robust and watertight closures.
Available in various types: pressure clinch pins, nuts, standoffs, pillars, captivated screws, and dowels, along with standoffs for printed circuit boards. A.T.S. provides self-clinching inserts in galvanized steel, 303 stainless steel, and 400 stainless steel.
