Screws optimized for precise positioning
SP Series high-performance miniature ball screws have been optimized to deliver precise positioning, excellent repeatability, and smooth-running and quiet linear actuation. Their advanced internal ball recirculation system and thread design additionally enable higher speed capabilities and longer operating life compared with conventional rolled ball screws. These robust solutions in small packages ultimately can help extend mini machine reliability, increase speed and output, and reduce noise for a wide range of medical, laboratory, automation, and other small equipment applications.

Cost-effective alternative to screws
Aluminum and stainless steel microPEM TackSert pins eliminate the need for mating threads from tapped holes or inserts and the rework frequently required due to screw cross-threading and driver bit “cam-out.” Patches intended to prevent fastener loosening in service also are unnecessary.

Locknuts’ modified threads enable easier tightening
The PEM S-RT self-clinching, free-running locknuts feature a modified thread angle, which allows mating screws to spin freely until clamp load is induced during the screw-tightening process. The applied clamp load engages the locknuts’ vibration-resistant locking feature, which secures the screw in place. PEM S-RT locknuts install into aluminum or steel sheets as thin as 0.030 in. and become permanent parts of an assembly.

Prevent mating screws from loosening
PemHex self-clinching prevailing torque locknuts have a blue nylon hexagonal insert designed to prevent mating screws from loosening. The reusable locking element provides the necessary torque resistance to securely grip mating screws and allow for their repeated installation and removal over time. These PL steel and PLC stainless steel locknuts install permanently in thin steel or aluminum sheets.

Studs enable close-to-edge installation
FHL and FHLS self-clinching flush-head studs from PennEngineering feature a low-displacement head design that enables close-to-edge installation of the fasteners in thin metals sheets. Because the studs install permanently, they will never loosen or fall out, and with the head installed flush in the sheet, the studs will not protrude or otherwise interfere with assemblies.
