In this video I will show you how I made my aluminum FPV Gimbal mount with a 5.8GHz video transmitter. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about any of the processes.

Nice little home workshop you've got there.

It’s the facility that I manage. If you ever need parts made, you can email me at Anthony@europamanufacturing.com

Hey Mr. G, Do these nut inserts also work in 2mm Aluminium? How secure are they in general?

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

Hey Max, yes they do and they work great as long as you insert them from the correct side. You want to install them such that when you go to tighten down the screw, it is trying to pull the hardware through the material and not pulling from the same side you inserted them from. Let me know what thread you need and I'll give you the correct part number for that thickness. They have different lengths for inserting into different thicknesses. These are stainless steel flush nuts but they have clinch nuts that stick out if you need more threads. We use them for aluminum, steel, stainless steel and other materials. It's great because you can have a lighter aluminum part with stainless steel threads that will not strip. Inserting into stainless steel requires a hardened version but they still look the same. PEM is the best brand in the industry and they have a very extensive catalog of different types of sheet metal hardware. www.pemnet.com/

@@ProtoG42 Thanks for the information! I will study their catalog. We recently swapped to using rivets anywhere we can. Now we ordered a very fast rivet nut gun to basically achieve the same thing as you did in the video. Those rivet nuts just stick out longer. Is the press you are using a special one? I guess all you need is pressure.

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

@@MaxMakerChannel We use rivnuts as well but usually where we do not have access to both sides of the material like like a piece of tubing or a part that is already formed. The press I used in the video is a specific sheet metal hardware press with autofeeders for large quantity runs. You can just use an arbor press or a standard hydraulic press for flush nuts and clinch nuts. For sheetmetal standoffs, you'll just need to make a little tool with a hole in the center. Be sure to pay attention to the spec sheets. In particular, the hole size required in the sheet, the minimum distance to the edge of the material, and the minimum sheet metal thickness. The last number on the flush and clinch nuts is the length code so -0, -1, -2 and -3 all have different minimum sheet thicknesses. The last number on sheet metal standoffs is the overall length code.

@@ProtoG42 Ah, so I expect you need to dial in the hole size to get a good fit? When I started using pop rivets and I ordered batch of aluminium parts with 5.1mm holes for 5mm rivets. They were very difficult to insert because of the entry swarf. Luckily there are also 4.8mm rivets available which fit perfectly, so I could just use them instead.

Nice! Could you show me how looks the brushing machine inside please?

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

It’s mainly just two large rollers and a 36” wide sandpaper belt.

@wesha3953 3 года назад

Thats one nice press brake

@ZoidZoidZoidberg 3 года назад

Well, that was a pleasure to watch

@gsenes53 3 года назад

What is happening here 0:35 min? What kind of nuts do you use?

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

Those are stainless steel self clinching flush nuts.

@joell439 3 года назад

Never saw how simple these nuts work. Thanks for the link. 👍👍😎👍👍

@power-max 3 года назад

What controller software are you using? Storm32 seems to be the go to "open source" solution, but only the hardware is open source whist the firmware is proprietary and developed by a single individual.

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

The gimbal just uses RC PWM inputs so you can either use a standard RC receiver or a microcontroller to control it.
