Choosing the correct size
Consider the real inner opening, material thickness, preparation hole and the component passing through the eyelet. Oversized holes can create movement; undersized holes can stress the surrounding material.
Matching setting die
Use the matching No. 5 eyelet setting die to keep the eyelet centered and consistently formed.
Matching punching die
Prepare a clean opening with the matching eyelet punching die. Hole quality directly affects installation quality.
Press selection
For repeated production, the M0099 hand press provides controlled pressure and consistent operation when used with the matching die.
Installation sequence
- Mark the position.
- Check material thickness.
- Punch the opening.
- Position the eyelet.
- Install the matching die.
- Center the components and apply controlled pressure.
- Inspect the finished assembly.
Production notes
- Test on scrap material before full production.
- Do not use a mismatched die.
- Recheck press pressure when material thickness changes.
- Remove burrs and damaged cut edges before setting.
- Use the same production batch when visual consistency matters.
- Inspect the finished eyelet for movement and deformation.
Workshop and production use
The 250-piece pack supports stock planning for frequently used sizes. Keeping the punching die, setting die and press within the same size family reduces setup errors and improves repeatability.
