Our high-performance, easy installation STRUX HM™ studs and nuts were developed for use in metals from 250MPa to 900MPa.
STRUX HM™ STUD BENEFITS
- Replaces and consolidates multiple weld studs and clinch designs to fewer part numbers.
- Suitable for sheet metals and cast steel with properties from 250MPa to 900MPa
- One design serves any sheet thickness above xxmm with unlimited maximum thickness.
- Lowers in-place costs and maximizes assembly flexibility
- Seals against liquid intrusion
- Resist push-out and rotation during handling, installation, and service
- Eliminates hazardous welding operations and reduces manufacturing energy consumption while providing a cleaner appearance than welded fasteners
- Improved centerline-to-centerline and perpendicularity tolerances compared to weld studs
- No distortion due to excessive heat and eliminates secondary operations when integrated with progressive dies
- PC10.9 for stronger joints
- M3 to M16, ask if you need a size outside this range
STRUX HM™ NUTS BENEFITS
-
- Significantly higher torsional resistance in thin steel vs. current competing clinch product

- Consistent performance
- Fast and easy installation
— Can be installed in-die or using automated equipment
— Low cost, long life installation tooling compared to competitors
- May be installed into difficult to weld materials
- Significantly higher torsional resistance in thin steel vs. current competing clinch product
