PEM® Self-Clinching Fasteners: High-Performance Fastening Solutions for Modern Sheet Metal Design

 


High-Performance Sheet Metal Fastening Solutions by Bossard

In today’s precision-driven manufacturing landscape, PEM®Self-Clinching Fasteners are a proven solution for creating strong, reliable, and space-efficient joints in thin sheet metal assemblies. Engineered by PennEngineering, PEM fasteners are specifically designed for applications where conventional fastening methods such as tapping, welding, or loose hardware are ineffective or inefficient.

PEM self-clinching fasteners work by permanently embedding into ductile materials like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. During installation, the fastener is pressed into a correctly sized hole, allowing the surrounding sheet metal to cold-flow into the fastener’s undercut. This process creates a high-strength mechanical interlock, delivering excellent torque-out resistance, push-out strength, and vibration resistance—all critical requirements in demanding industrial environments.

Available in a wide range of configurations including self-clinching nuts, self-clinching studs, self-clinching standoffs, and access hardware, PEM fasteners support compact designs and clean assemblies. Their flush-fit design eliminates surface protrusions, making them ideal for electronics enclosures, electrical panels, automotive components, medical devices, and telecom equipment where space optimization, safety, and aesthetics are essential.

From a manufacturing perspective, PEM fasteners enable efficient assembly processes. They are compatible with manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated press installation, helping reduce assembly time, minimize rework, and improve production consistency. By eliminating secondary operations like welding or thread cutting, manufacturers achieve lower total cost of ownership and improved product quality.

When combined with Bossard’s engineering support, application expertise, and smart fastening solutions, PEM® Self-ClinchingFasteners become more than just components—they become a strategic advantage. For manufacturers seeking reliable fastening solutions, sheet metal fastening, and high-performance industrial fasteners, PEM delivers strength, precision, and long-term reliability by design.

Cable Entry Solutions: Grommets, Cable Glands, and Bushings Explained

Image
  Effective cable management is essential for ensuring safety, protecting wires, and enhancing the longevity of electrical installations. Cable entry solutions, including grommets, cable glands, and bushings , play a crucial role in safeguarding cables from damage, organizing them efficiently, and preventing potential hazards. Cable Grommets: Purpose and Types A cable grommet is a small but vital component used for cable management . It protects cables from abrasion, insulates electrical wiring, and prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering through cable holes. Additionally, grommets offer a neat and organized appearance while reducing the risk of electrical shock. Types of Grommets: Rubber Grommets: Made from thermoplastic rubber or EPDM, these provide excellent resistance to abrasion and protect cables in dynamic environments. Plastic Grommets: Typically made from nylon or PVC, they are lightweight and durable, suitable for less demanding applications. Grommets a...

Internal Logistics and the Importance of Last Mile Management

Image
How your enterprise manages its logistics determines its success and profitability. External logistics, or the flow of materials and final goods from production to the marketplace, is a well-understood concept that most people grasp.  Internal logistics also involves the flow of goods and materials. But as the name implies, said flow is managed internally to replenish work cells within the production center. Internal logistics deals with how goods and materials are stored, distributed and managed in-house, with accountability, trackability and, visibility key goals.  Material replenishment is the key to maintaining efficient production processes, especially those that take advantage of the milk run / water spider. Last Mile Management provides an elegant solution for internal logistics, providing a clear pathway for effective supply chain management .  How Bossard Optimizes the Last Mile  Bossard’s Last Mile Management incorporates many beneficial features that help...

How Do I Choose the Right Cable Tie?

Image
  There are many uses for cable ties, the list seems to be practically endless. But what are some common uses that we see in the industry? Typically you find cable ties anywhere in which you need to organize wiring, or hold something in place. This could range from the transportation industry, all the way down to the cable tie that holds your audio/visual cables in your house. What we want to talk about is how to properly select a cable tie for your project, because there are many things that come into play. One might think that a cable tie is a cable tie, but if you are working in outdoor or harsh environments, there is a lot to consider when choosing your cable tie. Basically it comes down to four things, tie design, length, what environment are you installing the tie in, and how strong do you need it to be. Tie Design There are a lot of different types of cable ties, and each of them are used for a different application. Standard nylon ties are your basic every day cable tie...
