Rivet Nut Studs | Sherex® by PEM® – Threaded Stud Fasteners
Rivet Nut Studs
Sherex® by PEM® rivet nut studs provide a reliable external threaded stud that is permanently installed into thin sheet material from one side. Once set, the stud creates a fixed attachment point that enables secure bolt-down or component mounting without requiring rear access or secondary operations.
Rivet nut studs extend the versatility of the Sherex® by PEM® fastening portfolio, offering engineers a single-sided alternative to welded or press-fit studs across a range of materials and sheet thicknesses.
