Anticross-threading screw technology corrects off-angle installations and ensures proper alignment. Units are designed to remain attached even when machinery guards are removed. Offered in self-clinching, flaring, and floating mounting styles, they are available in 8 colors and in multiple lengths and thread sizes.
PEMŪ C.A.P.S.(TM) Colored Access Panel Screws Introduced in Three Mounting Styles and Eight Colors
New PEMŪ C.A.P.S.(TM) access hardware incorporates a captive screw and plastic colored cap in a spring-loaded assembly to promote secure attachment and enable subsequent access. Their captive-screw design reduces parts count, minimizes handling issues, and prevents screws from falling out or damaging internal components. The fasteners are offered in self-clinching, flaring, and floating mounting styles to install permanently in the widest range of panel materials and hardness.
These panel fasteners additionally serve as ideal solutions to address EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which requires that systems be engineered to remain attached to guards or machinery when the guards are removed.
PEM C.A.P.S. access hardware can be specified in eight standard colors, including black and silver metallic. The colors provide the capability to designate service access levels for equipment, color-reference operating and/or maintenance instructions, or conform to end-use aesthetic requirements, among others. Custom colors can be developed for exact color matching.
The panel fasteners are installed simply by pressing them into properly prepared mounting holes. Their integrated anti cross-threading screw technology corrects off-angle installations and ensures proper alignment. Fasteners are available in multiple screw lengths with thread sizes from #4-40 through #10-32 and M3 through M5 and feature standard #2 Phillips drive for tool access and a robust knurled plastic cap for hand operation.
