Understanding the HGR Series Fasteners
If you are working with very thin panels in the HGR series, it is essential to consult our engineering team. The HGR series fasteners provide various solutions, but thin panels require special consideration to ensure optimal performance.
Technical Questions Regarding HGR Series Fasteners
1. Why is the First Length in the Catalogue Numbered 3 Instead of 1?
You might have noticed that in our catalogue, the first length option listed is number 3. This decision was made based on performance and compatibility considerations for our fasteners.
2. Previous Orders for Lengths 1 & 2
We understand that you may have previously ordered lengths number 1 and 2, which range from 0.5 mm to 2.05 mm. However, as we continuously improve our products, we have identified specific cases where the full range of features for the HGR fasteners cannot be achieved with these shorter lengths due to variations in design and performance limits.
Key Considerations for Thin Panel Applications
When dealing with thin panels, it’s important to address the following:
- Potential Deformation Risks: Regular spring force may be too strong, leading to deformation of the panels. This is particularly relevant in extreme cases, such as combining two 0.25 mm thick panels.
- Customized Solutions: In such scenarios, an extra short spring cup or a weaker spring option may be necessary. While these solutions are feasible, they fall outside the standard range and may require project-specific adjustments.
