The stud is installed by pressing it into a pre-punched hole in the sheet metal. The material around the hole flows into the recess in the stud's shank, creating a permanent lock.
Installation typically requires only a press, eliminating the need for additional hardware or welding.
Design
The shank of the stud has an annular recess where the sheet metal material flows during installation, locking the stud in place.
The head of the stud provides a larger bearing surface to distribute the load and prevent the stud from pulling through the material.
Available in a wide range of lengths and diameters to suit different application requirements.
Materials
Steel: Commonly used for general applications due to its strength and durability.
Stainless Steel: Provides excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh environments.
Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for applications where weight is a concern.
Thread Types
Feature external threads for mating with nuts or threaded components.
Smooth or knurled shanks for applications where a threaded attachment is not required.
Applications
Automotive: Used for mounting components in vehicles, such as panels, brackets, and trim.
Aerospace: Provides strong, lightweight fastening solutions in aircraft construction.
Electronics: Used in the assembly of enclosures, chassis, and circuit boards.
Telecommunications: Common in the assembly of equipment racks and enclosures.
