Clinch Stud
a) Clinch studs, also known as self-clinching studs, are fasteners used in sheet metal fabrication and other applications where strong, permanent fastening is required. They typically consist of a threaded stud with a knurled or serrated shank and a flat or flanged head.
b) The installation process involves inserting the clinch stud into a pre-punched or drilled hole in the metal sheet. Then, using a press or similar tool, the knurled portion of the stud is compressed into the surrounding metal, creating a secure and permanent attachment without the need for welding or additional hardware. They offer advantages such as high strength, resistance to vibration, and a low-profile installation.
