Max. Depth of Countersinks

You already know that countersinks in the sheet are possible (e.g. for countersunk screws). Please note the following information:

1.) In order to make deformations (material deformations) it is necessary to pre-punch the clearance hole.
This pre-punch is normally bigger than the finished clearance hole.

2.) The max. depth of a 90° sunk is 3/4 of the sheet thickness as the entire material thickness cannot be punched.

   


3.) If the screw head height is higher than the sheet thickness, there are two possibilities to create the countersink.

a.) A bigger screw thread clearance hole than required. Keep in mind that the surface area for the head support is reduced and the strength calculation must be adjusted accordingly.

b.) The sheet can be embossed to create the countersink. Be aware that a raised emboss may create problems with further sheet handling.
