Part Design Guidelines

CS Series PierceForm Studs are property class 9.8 automatically installed, system-fed fasteners for installation in pre-pierced holes.

Designed for thick metal applications, CS Series PierceForm Studs make a consistent mechanical attachment which provides a secure, permanent installation; standard stud lengths are 16, 20, 25 and 30mm; standard end configuration is the header point. All CS Series PierceForm Studs can be heat treated to property class 10.9 if your application requires. This can be accomplished using a shorter barrel on the stud.

CS Series PierceForm Studs may be installed in almost any panel material, of almost any shape, and in almost any multiple-pattern configuration, within the constraints shown below. However - if you have a unique application not covered here, give us a call. We will help work out a solution with you.

Application in Special Materials

For HSLA, stainless steel, aluminum, and/or plastic material, consult your representative for application assistance.

Select Proper Stud

Select according to tables found on PierceForm CS Stud specifications sheet.

Using Two Sheets of Metal

Total panel thickness not to exceed 90%of recommended thickness for CS series PierceForm Stud metal range. For other panel materials, contact your representative.

Sealing Applications

Sealing is attained as an integral feature of the installation process by adding and adhesive to the barrel. Consult your representative for further details.

Critical Applications

When extreme torque, stress, or environmental requirements exist, consult your representative for application assistance.

Accuracy of Location

In multiple stud installations the location of one stud to another will be within a diametral tolerance of 0.4mm (0.015in.).

When a Forming Operation Follows a Stud Operation

Do not form part closer than 10 mm (0.39 in.) after stud is installed, as shown. For CS Series PierceForm Studs, part material formed into the clinch must not be disturbed. For closer spacing requirements, consult your representative.

Stud Edge to Panel Edge Distance

Studs must not be installed closer to the edge of a panel than twice the thickness of the metal panel, as shown.

Minimum Stud Spacing (With Standard Head Installation Tooling, Retainers May Require Alteration)

NOTE: Closer stud-to-stud distances may be achieved using altered standard and/or special tooling. Consult your representative.

Stud to Flange Distances (With Standard Installation Tooling)

Closer stud-to-flange distances may be achieved using altered standard and/or special tooling. Consult your representative.
