Collar Stud

Collar studs are specialized fasteners used in various applications, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing industries. They are characterized by a collar or flange that enhances their functionality and performance. Here’s an overview of collar studs, including their features, applications, benefits, and installation methods:

1. Features of Collar Studs

Collar or Flange: The distinguishing feature of collar studs is the collar or flange, which provides a larger surface area for load distribution. This helps to reduce stress concentration and improves the overall strength of the joint.

Threaded or Unthreaded: Collar studs can come with either a threaded or unthreaded shank. Threaded collar studs allow for secure fastening with nuts or other components, while unthreaded versions may be used for different types of applications.

Material Options: Typically made from steel, stainless steel, or other alloys, collar studs are selected based on the specific requirements of the application, including corrosion resistance and strength.

2. Applications of Collar Studs

Construction: Commonly used in structural applications to connect beams, columns, and other structural elements, providing strong and stable connections.

Automotive Industry: Utilized in vehicle assembly for fastening components, where the flange helps maintain alignment and strength under load.

Machinery Assembly: Used in machinery and equipment where components need to be securely fastened while allowing for disassembly if necessary.

Furniture Manufacturing: Applied in the assembly of furniture and fixtures, providing robust connections that can withstand daily use.
