Self-Aligning U-Type
Fasteners - Type I
Self-Align U-Type Fasteners overcome panel aligning problems
on fast moving assembly lines. They snap quickly into position
on metal or plastic panels, etc., and instantly align with
power driven screws. No drift pins or forced alignment is
necessary, eliminating the delays they entail and the risks
of hole or panel damage and expensive scrap loss.
One-piece self-retaining, they combine stamped fastener convenience
and economy with multiple thread strength and reliability.
The S-shaped spring steel retainer has generous elongated
mounting holes that permit up to 1/4". The trapped sliding
member incorporates a patented extruded configuration that
provides high torque installation and withstands unusually
high clamp loads. Prevailing torque on the screw is inherent
in the design. The screw will not loosen due to vibration,
panel set or migration.
The
dimensions of the parts listed are envelope dimension only.
For complete design information, please request a blueprint
from your Tinnerman Palnut representative or the Tinnerman Palnut
Engineering Department.
