irstly, you need to drill a suitable hole in the metal plate according to the Self Clinching Press Riveting Screw size. Check the size chart to obtain the correct aperture - do not make it too large or too small, otherwise it will not hold well.Clean out any debris in the hole with a brush or air blower; leftover bits might affect the installation.
Then put the screw straight into the hole, making sure its head sits flush against the sheet. Use a riveting machine (or a small hydraulic press) with a matching die. Align the mold with the screw head and apply stable pressure. Hold for 2-3 seconds, then slowly release the pressure.
Don’t use a hammer—this won’t lock the screw into the metal properly. Also, control the pressure: too much might crack the sheet, too little will make the screw loose. Self Clinching Press Riveting Screw works best on thin metal sheets; just follow these simple steps, and it’ll stay fixed firmly.
We use simple packaging to ensure the safety of screws during transportation. For small orders, they’re packed in clear plastic bags—100 or 200 pieces per bag. Each bag has a label with basic info: size, material, and batch number. It’s easy to open and store, good for small workshops or DIY use.
Bulk orders go into sturdy cartons. Each carton holds 5000 to 10000 pieces, depending on the screw size. We put foam or bubble wrap inside to prevent them from scratching or jostling around. The cartons are marked with handling signs, like “keep dry” or “no heavy stacking.”
If you need custom packaging—like your own logo on bags or specific quantity per pack—just let us know when ordering. No extra fancy stuff, just practical packaging to get the screws to you in good shape. Self Clinching Press Riveting Screw comes in these standard options, which work for most shipping and storage needs.
What materials can self-locking rivet screws be used with?
A: It is most suitable for thin metal plates, typically with a thickness of 0.8mm to 3mm. Common options such as cold-rolled steel, aluminum plates, and stainless steel plates are suitable. But it is not recommended to use it on non-metallic materials such as thick metal plates, plastics, or wood - they will not be firmly fixed.You just need to drill a proper-sized hole first, and it can fasten well without extra nuts, which is handy for sheet metal assembly jobs.
