Shouldered Stud

Shouldered studs are a type of fastener that belong to the supply class "Studs" in the supply group "Hardware and Abrasives." These studs have a shoulder or collar at one end, which provides a larger bearing surface and helps distribute the load more evenly. The other end of the stud is threaded, allowing it to be screwed into a corresponding threaded hole or nut.

Shouldered studs are commonly used in applications where a strong and secure connection is required. They are often used in construction, automotive, and machinery industries. The shoulder on the stud helps prevent the stud from being pulled through the material, making it suitable for applications with high tension or shear loads.

These studs are available in various materials such as steel, stainless steel, and brass, depending on the specific requirements of the application. They come in different sizes and thread types to accommodate different needs.

When using shouldered studs, it is important to ensure that the shoulder is properly seated against the material surface to achieve optimal load distribution and prevent any potential failure.
