Pressure Riveting Stud Fasteners, also known as press-fit studs or self-clinching studs, are high-performance fastening components designed for strong and permanent attachment to thin metal sheets. Widely used in industries such as electronics, automotive, telecommunications, and enclosures, these fasteners provide secure threaded connections without the need for welding, tapping, or additional hardware.
What Are Pressure Riveting Stud Fasteners?
A pressure riveting stud is a threaded stud that is inserted into pre-punched holes in sheet metal and secured through a press-fit process. By applying sufficient pressure, the knurled or grooved shaft of the stud is embedded into the base material, creating a flush and durable mechanical lock. This method ensures strong resistance to torque and pull-out forces.
Key Features
Strong Mechanical Bond
Clinches securely into thin sheet metal without loosening, ideal for permanent assembly.
Flush and Clean Finish
Installs flush on one side of the panel, maintaining a smooth and professional appearance.
High Load-Bearing Capacity
Supports significant torque and tensile forces, suitable for structural and load-bearing applications.
Wide Range of Sizes and Materials
Available in various thread sizes (M3–M10), lengths, and materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.
Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel pressure riveting studs offer excellent resistance in harsh environments like marine, automotive, and outdoor applications.
Applications
Sheet Metal Enclosures
Used to mount components in electrical boxes, control panels, and switchgear cabinets.
Telecom & Electronics
Ideal for PC cases, server racks, and electronic housings where internal components must be secured.
Automotive & Aerospace
Applied in body panels, chassis parts, and interior components where space is limited and durability is critical.
HVAC & Industrial Equipment
Fastens components within ducts, compressors, and machine housings.
Installation Process
Installation is done using a press or clinching tool. The stud is aligned with a pre-drilled or pre-punched hole in the sheet metal, and downward pressure is applied. The knurled shaft expands into the sheet, creating a secure, vibration-resistant hold. No welding, adhesives, or tapping is required, which reduces processing time and improves production efficiency.
