Screws for thin sheet metal

There are different solutions for the assembly of thin sheet metal. The optimal screw to be used in each case will depend on hole configuration, mechanical requirements and installation parameters.

High-performance self-clinching stud are designed to be staked in a pre-punched hole. It offers a stronger and more reliable assembly alternative to traditional clinch and weld studs. 

• STRUX® is a high-performance self-clinching stud designed to be staked in a pre-punched hole on steel sheets.
• STRUX SM™ is a high-performance self-clinching stud designed to be staked in a pre-punched hole on soft metal such as alloy, aluminum and copper.

We work in cooperation with our customers to find the best solution for the assembly on thin metal, by analyzing the material, hole configuration, mechanical requirements and installation parameters. Our technicians at CELO test laboratories provide technical reports with valuable data on screw capabilities for specific customer applications. Towards joint analysis and mechanical testing which include screw insertion, threading, failure, loosening torque and pull-out tests, we recommend the optimal solution to best meet your application requirements. Additionally, to verify that the dimensions of the selected screws conform to your design, CELO offers you the possibility to download the 3D files of our products.
