STRUX® STUDS
Outperforming Every Other Drive System
Stronger, More Reliable Fastening Solutions
Tired of fasteners that fail? Upgrade to STRUX® – the high-performance solution that delivers superior strength and reliability for your assemblies. STRUX® fasteners outperform traditional clinch studs and nuts, offering a versatile design applicable to stud and nut applications, and even joints requiring self-tapping fasteners. In most cases, switching to STRUX® will translate into significant time and cost savings compared to welded or other staked fasteners.
STRUX® Stud Benefits
Strength & Stability:
Go beyond traditional fasteners. STRUX® studs offer superior resistance to push-out and rotation, ensuring your assemblies stay secure even under stress. They can even replace larger, conventional weld or non-heat-treated studs.
Cost Savings:
Streamline your production and reduce expenses. STRUX® lowers in-place costs and maximizes assembly flexibility, offering a more economical solution than welding or other staking methods.
Enhanced Production:
Boost your output with faster, more efficient assembly. STRUX® eliminates the delays and complexities of welding, enabling higher production rates, especially when using progressive dies. Plus, no more distortion from excessive heat!
Improved Quality & Assurance:
Achieve a cleaner, more professional finish. STRUX® eliminates the mess and hazards of welding, providing a superior aesthetic and improved centerline-to-centerline tolerances.
Design Flexibility:
STRUX® studs offer design freedom. They excel in situations where welding is impractical or impossible, like joining dissimilar materials, pre-coated sheets, or high-strength thin sheet materials.
Simplified Installation:
Make assembly a breeze. STRUX® studs are easy to install and allow for simple visual inspection, saving you time and effort.
Uncompromised Integrity:
MakeRest assured knowing your products are built to last. STRUX® studs contribute to improved product and joint integrity, giving you confidence in the quality of your assemblies.
FEATURES
● Heat treated to SAE grades, ISO classes, or your own specifications
● Displacement lobes for secure fastening
● Ideal for joining dissimilar materials, pre-coated sheets, or high-strength thin sheet materials where welding is impossible or undesirable
● Unlike spot welding, joints can be created in-die with clinch fasteners and automated installation equipment
● Can be installed after painting or coating without aesthetic damage
● Easy installation and simple visual inspection
APPLICATIONS
Acument Global Technologies developed the STRUX® line to meet the increasing demand for thin sheet steel and aluminum sheet applications. STRUX® clinch fasteners provide external or internal threads in sheet metal stack-ups—applications too thin for adequate thread engagement using screws or bolts, and ideal for situations where welding is impossible or undesirable.
