PEM Assembly Systems

Here we have some new products introduced by PEM over recent months. Some appear elsewhere as well but we thought that it would be appropriate to group them all here so that you see them all together

PEM self clinching nuts offer a cost effective method of installing metric and imperial threads into all types of sheet and cast metal. PEM self clinch nuts are available in alumium, steel, stainless steel and hardened stainless steel for sintallation inot 300 grade stainless panels.

Self locking threads are also available in either prevailing torque or free running versions. 

Threaded studs for use in most ductile metals including aluminium, steel and stainless steel. PEM self clinching studs are normally installed with flush heads - but are available with larger heads for use in heavy duty applications.

PEM threaded standoffs provide a quick and simple way to mount components such as circuit boards, control panels, touch pads and other items into metal chassis etc. installed flush on the rear side self clinching standoffs over a quick and reliable solution to sheet metal workers.

Self Clinching pilot pins are used to assist with alignment of panels without fixing them down permanently. This allows access panels, inspection hatches, fascias and many other items to be located with fewer bolts or other fasteners making inspection or removal much faster and easier.

• Self-clinching, snap in and floating panel fasteners
• Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Plastic
• Metric and Imperial threads

• Nuts, Studs, Stand-offs and Panel Fasteners
• Broaching or flare in styles
• For mounting on PC boards or other similar materials
• Metric and Imperial threads

SMT nuts, spacers and panel fasteners save taking the product offline for hardware installation. Ideal for applications where fast hands free assembly is required. Provided on reels compatible with existing SMT equipment

PEM R’ANGLE fasteners provide strong right angle attachment points in sheet metal and PC boards. RAA and RAS fasteners for metal are simply pressed into a rectangular mounting hole in the panel. RAS fasteners provide metric or unified threads in  M3 and M4 or 4-40, 6-2 and 8-32 thread sizes.

PEM® KEYHOLE® Standoffs and sheet joining fasteners are designed so that a PC board or metal panel can be quickly slipped into place and then removed from an assembly by simply sliding the board sideways and lifting it off.

PEM SK standoffs and fasteners can save valuable assembly time and dramatically reduce the amount of loose hardware required.

SpotFast is a new concept in riveting which allows two panels to be joined permanently together using self clinch technology. The great benefit of using SpotFast is that the fastener does not protrude on either side of the joint leaving both sides of the panel flush

SI inserts from PEM are specified in applications where a strong durable metal thread is required in plastic materials, especially where frequent assembly and disassembly of the unit for access, service or repair is necessary.

Available in sizes down to M1

PEM® Micro is a new range of products designed specifically for use in modern electronic assemblies. Threaded inserts, standoffs, location pins and inserts for plastics are available as standard or made to order parts.Threads as small as M1 and pins down to 1.0 mm diameter are catered for.

The PEM® VariMount™ bonding fastening system is an assembly comprised of a standard PEM fastener mounted permanently into a base plate. The assembly can then be affixed to assorted panel types in a variety of ways including moulding in, bonding, adhesive patches, riveting or screws.
