ATLAS® FM™ BLIND THREADED
INSERTS
INTRODUCE FULL METRIC FASTENING SOLUTIONS
New ATLAS® FM™ blind
threaded inserts introduce full metric fastening solutions for “blind”
attachment applications where only one side of a panel is accessible for
hardware installation. These inserts
install quickly and easily from the accessible “front” side with only a single
mating screw required to complete final component attachment. Their introduction extends the traditional
ATLAS product line of inserts featuring unified or metric threads.
The “blind” attachment capability
ideally suits one-sided access applications such as tubing and extrusions,
among others. These fasteners offer
practical alternatives to tapped holes, weld nuts, rivets, and self-drilling or
tapping screws, and can satisfy close-to-edge mounting challenges.
ATLAS FM inserts install into metric
size round or hex holes in panels of any hardness as thin as 0.51mm. They are available in thread sizes M3 to M10
and can be specified in a variety of head styles (flat, thin, or countersunk),
body types (round smooth or knurled, half hex, or full hex), and materials
(steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or brass). The inserts can be installed permanently
anywhere and at any stage in the shop or field using a spin/pull action tool.
Detailed
specifications (Bulletin FM) and free part drawings (PEM CAD Library) for these
RoHS-compliant fasteners can be accessed at www.pemnet.com
