A new range of PEM self-clinching dog point studs, have been introduced by Arconix/UK Ltd, that provide very high strength attachments to steel or aluminium sheet as thin as 1mm.

These new steel studs Type HFED offer a practical and cost effective alternative to weld studs, as they can be installed faster and at a lower cost.

The new studs feature a larger diameter ribbed head, that has been increased from 9.6mm to 15.3mm.

This specially designed feature allows the head to project above the sheet, which distributes the axial tightening force over a larger area, providing excellent pull-through and torque-out resistance.

The dog point provides an important lead-in that protects the first threads during assembly, as well as ensuring faster installation.

The studs are installed using a punch and anvil to squeeze and imbed the specially designed ribs in the fastener's head into the metal sheet, making it a permanent part of the assembly, avoiding the need for time consuming welding.

The fasteners are available in M5, M6 and M8 thread sizes, in lengths ranging from 20mm to 30mm.
