PEM® Ghost™ Magnetic Release Fasteners
Fully concealed. Magnetically released. Custom-engineered for your application.
Hidden Fastening, Expanded Capability
Visible fasteners tell anyone looking exactly where a joint is, how it’s assembled, and how to open it.
That’s an invitation to tampering, a challenge for clean design, and a source of friction in every service cycle.
PEM® Ghost™ Magnetic Release Fasteners were designed to eliminate that problem – and with its new product line extension, Ghost is available in more sizes and in custom configurations engineered specifically for your application.
What Sets Ghost Apart?
Ghost is a category of one. No other fastening solution combines full concealment, tool-free magnetic release, and custom engineering support in a single self-clinching system.
Fully Concealed by Design
Installs flush with the panel surface. No witness marks, no visible hardware, nothing to tamper with.
Near-Instant, Tool-Free Release
Engage with a push and release with a magnet. No tools, no torque. Assembly and re-assembly take seconds.
Security Without Visible Hardware
No visible hardware = no visible target. The magnet used for release adds security that other fasteners can’t match.
Built-In Tolerance Accommodation
The floating pin design absorbs radial and axial misalignment, which reduces cost and complexity.
See How It Works
- Mill a blind hole to the correct minimum depth.
- Place fastener into anvil hole.
- Place the mounting hole over the shank of the fastener.
- With punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply squeezing force until the flange is flush with the mounting sheet.
Apply light force, pressing the floating pin into the retainer. The fastener grips the pin, with no tools required. Assembly takes seconds.
Hold a magnet flush to the panel surface. The joint separates instantly. No torque, no impact, and no damage to the panel or substrate.
