SELF-LOCATING SPACERS
Primarily used in PC board assembly and sheet metal applications, this line of standoffs and spacers are used to facilitate ease of assembling. These pieces align with an existing hole to ensure your threaded parts mate correctly with corresponding panels.
SLOTTED SHOULDER SCREW
Featuring a wide array of customizable dimensions, shoulder screws excel at holding objects together at exact positions. These screws are designed for use in parts which require a mounting pin, joint, shaft, dowel, pivot, or sliding motion. Their flexibility in design allows them to be modified for any of a client’s requirements.
STANDOFFS MALE-FEMALE, MALE-MALE & FEMALE-FEMALE
In order to create space between two objects or properly position them, many people turn to standoffs. These parts are typically favored in the world of electronic components and electronic hardware, where space can be at a premium with circuit boards, panels, doors or gears.
MALE PRESS MOUNTED KNURLED STUD
Also known as ground studs, these parts are often a better alternative to standard bolts. The low-profile head can allow the studs to be mounted closer to the surface, while the knurl gives a tighter fit that conveys better stability in applications.
CLEAR HOLE SPACER
Clear Hole Spacers are typically small, hollow tubes positioned between two surfaces, for the purpose of enabling a bolt or screw to pass through it. A spacer creates a clearance gap and will spin until the screw is tightened.
CAPTIVE PANEL SCREWS WITH RETAINERS
Captive panel screws are fabricated with an unthreaded portion of shaft, normally closest to the head. In doing this, the screw stays in place with the aid of a washer that is used on the opposite side of the panel. Their corresponding retainers are cylindrical in shape and help the screw maintain position.
DOUBLE ENDED MALE KNURLED STUDS
Double Ended Male Knurled Studs are threaded fasteners that have a thread on both ends with an unthreaded portion in the middle of the fastener. These pieces are commonly used to hold two or more parts together. One or both can be knurled, which allows them to be press fitted in stability critical applications.
SOCKET HEAD SHOULDER SCREW
Socket Head Shoulder Screws are mechanical fasteners that can be screwed into one part while providing a free rotation pin joint connection with another part. Their socket heads are able to withstand high torque tightening with a limited clearance.
CUSTOM WASHERS: SHOULDER, FLAT & BUSHING
Shoulder washers, sleeve bushings, or flanged bushings are extremely versatile products. Shoulder washers insulate a screw, rivet, or wire from an assembly or can be inserted into a housing to provide a bearing surface for rotary applications. The flange on the shoulder washer is used to positively locate the bushing when it is installed or to provide a thrust bearing surface.
SWAGE STANDOFFS: THREADED, UNTHREADED & LOCKING
When looking for an inexpensive method of spacing or mounting electronic circuit boards and electronic components, swage standoffs are a popular option. Once installed, they become a permanent fixture of the board, simplifying further assembly. Force is used to install these parts, most commonly with an arbor press or punch presses. For rivet type installation, an ordinary drilled or punched hole, of the correct diameter, is adequate. When planning to swage, installation holes must be countersunk to maximize contact surfaces. PK’s Swage Standoffs are available in both threaded and unthreaded / clear hole types.
