Combining the functions of a semi-<br />
tubular rivet and a nut, Perma-Nut®<br />
inserts provide an economical and<br />
permanent threaded fitting with<br />
minimal de<strong>for</strong>mation of the<br />
application. They can be used in<br />
<strong>plastic</strong>s, metals and composite<br />
materials.<br />
sPeciFicaTions<br />
Internal Thread Sizes • M2 to M10 (#4<br />
to 3/8"); special sizes available upon<br />
request<br />
Materials • Low carbon steel, brass,<br />
aluminum<br />
Finish • Zinc plate with chromate<br />
sealer; others as required<br />
Thermoset <strong>plastic</strong>s that require a<br />
threaded fitting. Application testing is<br />
required to determine usability in<br />
thermo<strong>plastic</strong> materials.<br />

staking roll<br />
clincher<br />
Roll-clinch installation (requiring two sided access) <strong>for</strong> more<br />
efficient installation<br />
• Automatic or semi-automatic multiple-station equipment,<br />
standard tooling or high-speed riveting can be used<br />
• Allows multiple installation<br />
• Lowers assembly costs<br />
Can be used in materials as thin as 0.254mm (.010") and<br />
where low profiles are required<br />
Highly versatile design to per<strong>for</strong>m a variety of functions to meet<br />
the specific needs of your application<br />
• Nut plate applications to eliminate installing nuts in hard-toreach<br />
areas<br />
• Nut and rivet applications<br />
• Nut, rivet and spacer applications<br />
• Nut and bushing applications<br />
Initial testing is required to determine optimal roll crimp<br />
pressure <strong>for</strong> each application. Please contact an <strong>Infastech</strong><br />
