Push-Out Force Testing

Once installed, Self-Clinch bearings are designed and intended to be permanently mounted. Despite the claim to a permanent mount, Self-Clinch bearings can be dislodged with enough force. Common reasons to request push-out force testing may include:



• Expected load verification
• Mounting material selection
• Planned statistical evaluation
• Assembly design validation



So, how much force?



Spyraflo offers Push-Out Force Testing which can be performed on Spyraflo-mounted products, custom designs, self-clinched bearings installed into your panel or any other parts you want us to smash until it breaks. You don’t have to ask our engineers twice for this evaluation!



Our team will put our patented self-clinching installation feature to the test, measure the force and send you the data. This method of testing is, however, destructive in nature, rendering the bearing and mounting hole unusable after testing.
