steel sheets as thin as 0.060 inches/1.53mm with hardness of HB 80 or less or HB 150 or less. Also their engineering allows the reverse side of the sheet to remain flush when the plunger is retracted. These fasteners install reliably into properly sized mounting holes in a sheet. The fastener is

placed into a recessed anvil and then the work piece (punch side) is placed over the fastener’s shank. With punch and anvil surfaces parallel, installation is completed by applying squeezing
force until the shoulder of the retainer comes into contact with the sheet material. As a variation of these fasteners, Type PSL2™ spring-loaded plunger assemblies are available on special order without the
lockout feature. Detailed specifications (Bulletin PF) and free part drawings (PEM CAD Library) for these RoHS-compliant fasteners can be downloaded from PennEngineering’s website.
The Peel Rivet
Ornit Blind Rivets, a blind rivet manufacturer that supplies rivets for the construction, automotive, electronic and solar energy industries, has for the past 36 years provided the fastener industry with a continuously expanding range of top-quality products.
ne product that Ornit highlights as being particularly special is its TPR (The Peel Rivet). The TPR is a two piece threadless fastener designed for use on flat roofing applications, which can also
be used on virtually any deck type such as plastic, concrete, wood and metal. TPR has a self-piercing mandrel point allowing for assembly without pre-drilling in most materials and provides a secure, back-out resistant joint with a positive clamping action. TPR is designed to curl tightly underneath or in the decking material thus creating a gripping area four times wider that its own diameter. Ornit manufactures the TPR from corrosive resistant, high magnesium aluminium alloy making it ideal for harsh environments like moist roof decks.
TPR is available in a range of rivet lengths, ½ inch (38mm)
- 10 inch (250mm) and types: • TPR – S: Used in or through high density decks. • TPR – L: Used through light steel decks, wood and aluminium.
• TPR - X: Use in gypsum, itung, tectum and other wood fibres.
Ornit’s product range also includes standard and
structural fasteners such as: U-Fix, Orlock, Or-Bulb, Or-Bolt and Ornilock structural rivet, all of which are available in a variety of grip ranges, diameters (3.2mm to 7.8mm), head types (protruding, large, X-large), and materials (steel, aluminium and stainless steel).
APM expands SEELOC® A
, SEELSKREW® , SEELNUT® , SEELRIVET® and SEELOC® . 140 Fastener + Fixing Magazine • Issue 69 May 2011 sizes
APM HEXSEAL has announced the expansion of its SEELOC® self-sealing, high-pressure washer line of available stock sizes, which will include the range of metric sizes from M3 to M6.
ccording to APM director of international business, John Doda: “Six new popular metric sizes have been added as the foundation to satisfy the increasing international demand for this industrial-grade sealing washer line. We are experiencing a surge of metric size requirements from OEM’s who are building marine, medical, military, instrumentation and a broad range of electrical and enclosure equipment throughout the world”. Doda added that “within this size range, the washer O.D.
is 12.7mm to 25.4mm, and maximum thru-hole sizes of 6.35mm to 15.87mm are being offered. Additional sizes are contemplated, based on demand”. The SEEELOC®
washer platform is built with 300 series stainless steel - a uniquely profiled and
ribbed silicone rubber section is molded onto one side (facing down) creating a high-pressure seal to 100psi. SEELOCs are rated to IP66/68 for Type 4X and Type 6 enclosure protection, and are resistant to salt water, acids, weather, sunlight, ozone and a myriad of harsh, hostile conditions. SEELOCs can also handle a temperature range from -106°C to +260°C. The APM self-sealing fastener line has been sold for more than 50 years under the following trademarks: SEELBOLT®
ennEnginnering® highlights that if necessary, a unique lockout feature keeps the
fastener’s spring-loaded plunger retracted until the plunger pin drops into final position. A simple quarter-turn of the fastener enables the retracted locking and unlocking actions. Type PTL2™ spring-loaded plunger assemblies install permanently in aluminium or
