► Simple tooling for manufacturing
► Fast and easy installation – can be installed in-die or using automated equipment

Strux® STUD FOR CLINCH APPLICATIONS

Our high-performance Strux® Stud fasteners offer a stronger and more reliable assembly alternative to traditional clinch studs. In most cases, a Strux® fastening solution will yield significant time and cost savings when compared to welded or other staked fasteners.

FEATURES

► Displacement lobes
► Can be used where welding is impossible or undesirable, such as joining dissimilar materials, pre-coated sheets or high strength thin
sheet materials
► Unlike spot welding, joints can be created in-die with clinch fasteners and automated installation equipment
► Can be installed after the painting or coating process without aesthetic damage barrier for displaced material
► Easy installation and simple visual inspection

BENEFITS

► Fast and easy installation
► Simple tooling
► High torsional resistance
► High Push out resistance
► Consistent performance
► Can be installed in stamping die
► Improved positional tolerances as compared to weld studs and nuts.
► Eliminates the assembly problems and high cost traditionally associated with weld fasteners
     ► Weld Splatter
     ► Excessive heat
