Heavy duty stud provides accurate location
Profil"s new NBR plain studs have been developed to provide precise component location during the automated assembly of new generation motor vehicles. The heavy duty, 14mm diameter by 40mm long steel studs utilise the proven benefits of Profil"s pierce fastening technology to provide high strength, water-tight fixings in both plain and coated structural panels, with an absolute positional accuracy of 0.2mm.
Like other Profil fasteners, the new NBR studs are designed for automatic insertion in pressed components as part of their production process. They are suitable for materials from 0.6mm to 4.0mm thick and allow vehicle manufacturers to take full advantage of the latest modular assembly techniques.
Along with high accuracy and consistent placement, the load carrying capabilities and corrosion resistance all to contribute to undoubted cost and quality benefits.
