Self-clinching studs<br />
reduce stress on panels<br />
Self-clinching studs from PEM<br />
have been designed with largediameter<br />
heads to provide particularly<br />
robust solutions for heavyduty<br />
attachment applications. An<br />
enlarged, non-flush stud head<br />
distributes the axial tightening<br />
force over a large area, resulting<br />
in improved pull through performance,<br />
reduced compressive<br />
stress on the panel, and development<br />
of full thread strength.<br />
All four types of these RoHScompliant<br />
studs offer cost-effective<br />
alternatives to weld studs by<br />
enabling easier installation with<br />
fewer production steps.<br />
Type HFE steel studs install<br />
permanently in steel or alumini-<br />

um sheets as thin as 1mm with<br />
hardness of HRB 85 (or less) and<br />
HB 165 (or less). Thread sizes<br />
range from M5 to M8 and standard<br />
stud lengths are available up<br />
to 50mm. Type HFH steel studs<br />
for high-strength applications<br />
meet Grade 5/Property Class 9.8<br />
tensile requirements and install<br />
permanently in steel or aluminium<br />
sheets as thin as 1.3mm with<br />
hardness of HRB 85 (or less) and<br />
HB 165 (or less). Thread sizes<br />
range from M5 to M10. Unified<br />
thread sizes are also available for<br />
these studs.<br />
Types HFG8 (unified) and<br />
HF109 (metric) high tensile<br />
strength studs provide solutions<br />
for the most demanding applications.<br />

Repair kit cuts downtime<br />
for maintenance engineers<br />
Leading industrial<br />
parts supplier,<br />
WDS, is<br />
providing<br />
maintenanceengineers<br />
with a<br />
fast and convenient<br />
solution for<br />
reducing downtime<br />
and repair<br />
costs on machines<br />
and equipment that are<br />
out of action due to<br />
damaged threads. The company<br />
has launched a comprehensive kit<br />
for re-threading holes in equipment,<br />
such as machine beds,<br />
pump flanges, castings, gearbox<br />
housings, bearing mountings (et<br />
al) - quickly and at low cost.<br />
Extremely easy to use, and<br />
with no special engineering experience<br />
required, the WDS repair<br />
kit is supplied in a convenient<br />
carrying case that is compartmentalised<br />
for easy selection<br />
of drill bits, taps, insertion<br />
tool and wire thread<br />
inserts. The wire<br />
thread inserts<br />
themselves<br />
are manufactured<br />
from high<br />
quality 204<br />
stainless steel.<br />
They are supplied<br />
in five thread<br />
sizes: M5, M6, M8, M10<br />
and M12. The first four sizes are<br />
provided in quantities of 25 off,<br />
and 10- off for the largest, M12,<br />
size.<br />
Replacement thread inserts<br />
are subsequently available in<br />
packs of 10. Each thread size is<br />
available from stock and can be<br />
dispatched for next day delivery.<br />
