Varieties and benefits of using threaded studs
Threaded studs are commonly called universal fasteners, which are an oblong steel or brass bar, on which a metric thread is applied. These products can be used both separately and in combination with other fasteners - connecting nuts or washers.
The characteristics of threaded studs (strength class, thread pitch and angle, etc.) on the Russian market are regulated by two main standards - DIN 975 and DIN 976, and you can buy such products at any specialized store. Some domestic manufacturers, such as the Trayv-Komplekt company, offer buyers special conditions for the purchase of products.For example, in the online store of this brand is currently available.
What types of threaded studs are presented on the Russian market?
There are several options for classifying such products. One of them implies a division by type of material - studs can be made of carbon or stainless steel, as well as brass. At the same time, steel threaded studs have a galvanized zinc coating.
Another popular classification option takes into account the way such fasteners are used. According to this division, hairpins are:
- Anchor. Such products are inserted into drilled holes pre-filled with glue, after which it is necessary to wait for the mixture to harden;
- Mortgages. They are installed in pre-prepared pits and poured with concrete mixtures. Most often, embedded studs are used in the construction of supports;
- Welded. As is clear from the name itself, this type of fastener is fixed by welding, and auxiliary elements are often used for additional fixation - washers or nuts;
- Flanged. They are distinguished by a characteristic cylindrical shape and the presence of a section with a smooth surface in the middle. Installation of such studs is carried out using nuts.
These types of threaded rods are widely used in many areas of human activity, but they are especially often used in construction and heavy industry.
Advantages of threaded rods
This type of fastener is notable for its high level of reliability and strength of the connection. In addition, high-quality studs are distinguished by excellent resistance to harmful factors - weather "whims", exposure to aggressive chemical environments, etc.It is also impossible not to mention the ease of installation of threaded studs - structures fixed with their help can be quickly assembled and just as quickly dismantled if necessary.
