Other Sheet Metal Fasteners
PSM has a collection of other sheet metal fasteners used in assemblies beyond the typical self-clinching nuts and rivet bushes. These fasteners provide custom or captive solutions—such as captive screws, floating nuts, blind nuts, self-locking nuts, and clinch studs—for applications where standard fastening options do not suffice. They help improve assembly reliability, serviceability, and design flexibility in sheet metal components.

What is included in PSM's "Other Sheet Metal Fasteners" category?
PSM’s Other Sheet Metal Fasteners category covers sheet metal fastening solutions outside the company’s main named product lines — such as Anchor Rivet Bush, Self-Clinching Nuts, Self-Clinching Standoffs, and PF Flush Nuts. It serves as a guide to additional fastener types, design considerations, and installation methods for sheet metal applications not addressed elsewhere in PSM’s product guide.
How do I choose the right sheet metal fastener for my application?
Choosing the right sheet metal fastener depends on several factors: whether the joint needs to be permanent or removable, the host sheet material and thickness, available installation access (single-sided vs two-sided), required load capacity, and environmental conditions such as vibration or corrosion exposure. PSM’s engineering team can help match application requirements to the correct fastener type.
What design factors should I consider when specifying a sheet metal fastener?
Key design factors include host sheet thickness and hardness, available installation access (one-sided vs two-sided), required load capacity (pull-out, push-out, torque resistance), environmental exposure (corrosion, vibration, temperature), and whether the fastener needs to be removable or permanent. PSM’s design guides provide specific dimensional and material recommendations for each fastener type.
What is the difference between permanent and removable sheet metal fasteners?
Permanent sheet metal fasteners — such as self-clinching nuts, studs, and standoffs — are pressed into the panel and cannot be removed without damaging the fastener or panel. Removable fasteners — such as clip-on nuts and cage-style designs — attach using spring tension and can typically be unclipped and repositioned, offering flexibility for reconfigurable or serviceable assemblies.
What industries use PSM's range of sheet metal fasteners?
PSM’s sheet metal fasteners are used across automotive, electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, appliance manufacturing, HVAC, and general industrial fabrication — anywhere thin sheet metal panels require a strong, reliable threaded fixing point, spacer, or retention clip without welding.
