M12 x 1.5 4.5mm thick material Steel sheet metal fastening kit

What are sheet metal fastening kits?

Sheet metal fastening kits are a specialised solution designed to securely attach components, such as indexing plungers, to thin-walled materials like sheet metal. These kits ensure reliable and precise mounting, even when the material lacks sufficient thickness for conventional fastening methods.

How do they work?

These kits typically include two fastening components, a nut and a bush that are designed to press together around the sheet material.

What advantages do they have over other methods of securing products to sheet metal?

Sheet metal fastening kits offer several advantages over methods like rivnuts or just welding on a nut. They are easier to install without specialised tools or heat, preserving material integrity and avoiding distortion. Additionally, they provide a secure, reusable connection with better load distribution and precision, making them ideal for thin-walled material.

Design Features

• Fine-Pitch Thread: The fine-pitch thread enhances precision and tightening control, ensuring a secure and vibration-resistant fit.
• This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring high accuracy or exposure to dynamic forces.
• Material Options: Kits are available in both steel and stainless steel, offering flexibility for various operating environments.
• Compact Design: Optimised for use in applications with limited space or where the material thickness is a constraint.
• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel variants provide excellent resistance to corrosion, making the kits suitable for outdoor or harsh environments.
