- Place fastener into the anvil hole and align the mounting hole over the shank of the fastener.
- Apply squeezing force until the shoulder of the fastener contacts the sheet, allowing the punch tool to flare the extended portion of the shank outward to complete the installation.
FAQ
- Q: What are the available finishes for the fasteners?
- A: The standard finishes available are Through Hardened Passivated and/or Semi-bright Electroless for Stainless Steel, and Tested per ASTM A380 Nickel per ASTM B733 for Carbon Steel.
- Q: What is the recommended sheet hardness for using these fasteners?
- A: The recommended sheet hardness is HRB 80 / HB 150 or less. Ensure to check compatibility with harder materials before installation.
- Q: Can custom sizes be ordered?
- A: Yes, custom sizes are available on special orders. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
PEM® roller bearing fasteners support loads while guiding and positioning component.
Product Overview
PEM® PFTRCS™ and PFTRFS™ roller bearing fasteners are easily installed, preassembled low friction rollers, that give design engineers a more user- friendly option to the high friction of simple slide shelves without incurring the cost of expensive sliding rail assemblies.
- Low-profile bearings can be captivated with either a clinch or flare, creating a cost-effective tray slide method
- Simple installation and ease of design into limited footprint spacing applications
- Supports loads while guiding and positioning components
- Eliminate the need for oil lubricants and loose hardware typically used in drawer sliders
- Self-clinching and flaring roller-bearing fasteners are easily installed into pre-punched or drilled holes in sheets as thin as
- 040” / 1mm
Fastener drawings and models are available at www.pemnet.com. Custom sizes are available on special order. Contact us for more information.

- See PEM Technical Support section of our web site for related plating standards and specifications.
- HRB – Hardness Rockwell “B” Scale. HB – Hardness Brinell.
- Fastener retainer is waxed eliminating the need for lubrication.

Installation
Self Clinching Installation
- Prepare a properly sized mounting hole in sheet. Do not perform any secondary operations such as deburring.
- Place the fastener into the anvil hole and place the mounting hole (preferably the punch side) over the shank of the fastener.
- With the installation punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply squeezing force until the head of the nut comes into contact with the sheet material.

Flaring Installation
- Prepare properly sized straight-through mounting hole in sheet.
- Place fastener into the anvil hole and place the mounting hole over the shank of the fastener as shown in diagram.
- Using a punch flaring tool and a recessed anvil, apply squeezing force until the shoulder of the fastener contacts the sheet. As the fastener seats itself in the proper position, the punch tool will flare the extended portion of the shank outward to complete the installation. If installing into a smooth panel, the fastener shank will protrude after installation. Flare may protrude up to 0.5mm Max.

- Published installation forces are for general reference. Actual set-up and confirmation of complete installation should be made by observing proper seating of fastener as described in the installation steps. Other performance values reported are averages when all proper installation parameters and procedures are followed. Variations in mounting hole size, sheet material, and installation procedure may affect performance. Performance testing this product in your application is recommended. We will be happy to provide technical assistance and/or samples for this purpose.
- The maximum number of traveling cycles is tested at 200mm/s under 200N load.
All PEM® products meet our stringent quality standards. If you require additional industry or other specific quality certifications, special procedures and/or part numbers are required.
