UNIQUE STRUX® DESIGN PROVIDES EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

Our high-performance STRUX® fasteners offer a stronger and more reliable assembly alternative to traditional clinch and weld studs. Along with stud applications, the STRUX® design can be used in joints that require self-tapping fasteners. In most cases, a STRUX® fastening solution can yield significant time and cost savings when compared to welded or other staked fasteners.

 

Eliminates Welding
STRUX® fasteners eliminate the need for expensive and sometimes hazardous welding operations.

  • No distortion due to excessive heat 
  • Aesthetic value of application is improved
  • Potential for corrosion is reduced
  • Elimination of costly production bottlenecks

Consistent Reliability
With proper installation, STRUX® fasteners can reduce the potential for failure. STRUX® products give you consistent push-out strength and torque values, whether it's the 10th or 10 millionth fastener being installed.

  • Visual inspection of joint is fast and clean
  • Consistent joint integrity
  • Predictable performance

Resists Push-Out & Rotation
Once seated, the displacement lobes keep the STRUX® fastener from rotating during service. The torsional and push-out strength are limited only by the shear strength of the engagement material.

Critical Applications
The high-performance capabilities of STRUX® products makes them an excellent match for critical applications such as air bags and seating.

  • Complete design assistance
  • Application testing
  • Assembly validation

Easy Installation
STRUX® clinch fasteners can be assembled manually, or automatically with any equipment capable of feeding rivets, weld studs or conventional clinch studs. This includes hydraulic staking presses.

  • Increased production rates when using progressive dies
  • Improved product and joint integrity

Installation

The stud end is fed through a punched or drilled hole and into a lower die. A punch then applies force to the stud and the retaining ring passes through the hole. As pressure is applied, the displacement lobes are seated, forcing the engagement material into the retaining groove.
