When we search for why the Titanic sank, the first things we find are the iceberg, the speed, the lack of lifeboats. But what doesn’t usually appear in the top results is that the true [...]

We have over three decades of experience specializing in industrial fastening, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. [...]

Riveted joints are a permanent fastening solution that allows materials to be assembled through the controlled deformation of a rivet, without the need for heat. This system offers significant [...]

Welding, bolts, or rivets: Which joint resists best when everything shakes? An analysis from fatigue and fracture perspective. In the previous two posts, we discussed practical advantages: when [...]

Stud welding is a technology widely used in industry to fasten metal elements to sheets or structures without the need for drilling. This system allows studs, pins or fasteners to be joined [...]

n the previous post, we started an interesting debate: “Why welded studs are gaining ground on rivets and conventional fasteners“. We talked about execution speed, the absence of [...]

In recent years, rivets have been losing ground to studs. The reason is simple: studs are faster to install, more economical, and require less maintenance. But within the world of studs, there is [...]

We’ve been seeing it for years. Projects that start well, new equipment, experienced operators, and suddenly, studs that fail. They don’t fail at the moment of welding. They fail days [...]

The BEARFIX catalog is clear on this matter. While the LBS and PRO-C series are listed under the heading «Capacitor Discharge Stud Welding Machines», the PRO-D and PRO-I series appear as «Ceramic [...]

Selecting the appropriate metal joining process is fundamental, as it affects the structural viability of the project. There are several aspects to consider when deciding on the best joining [...]

At Bearcat we have been offering fastening and joining solutions for more than 25 years. One of our most representative systems is capacitor discharge welding, a precise and controlled fusion, [...]

At Bearcat, we know that the key to a great project lies in the strength of its bonds. During this year 2025, we have shared with you the challenge of creating precise and lasting connections, [...]

The rivet has been both witness and driver of industrial progress for centuries. What began as hand-hammered copper pieces in the shipyards of the Nile are today precision components manufactured [...]

It is a pleasure to share with you some news that fills us with pride: we have participated in the recent remodeling of Camp Nou, supplying high-strength connecting bolts through the [...]

When deciding which rivets to use in our project, choosing between a domed head rivet (TT) and a countersunk head rivet (TS) may seem like a small detail, but it’s a decision that directly [...]

In the world of railway engineering, where every millimeter counts and quality admits no failure, traditional welding processes had become a bottleneck. Our client, a leader in the sector, faced [...]

In the field of structural engineering and industrial manufacturing, choosing weldable studs is a crucial technical decision when designing a project. Our 40 years of experience show that [...]

In the world of thin sheet metal fabrication, fastening is often a challenge. The most innovative projects demand solutions that go beyond the standard screw. At Bearcat.es, we know these [...]

Bearcat had the privilege of participating in MetalBarcelona 25 on October 1st and 2nd, as part of Advanced Manufacturing Barcelona, the leading event in metal manufacturing, machining, and [...]

The choice of rivet head goes far beyond personal preference. It determines how the joint is sealed, its strength, and even the final appearance. In this post, we’ll explain the most common types [...]

Over the years in our workshop, we’ve seen how many projects become complicated because they try to be solved with generic equipment. The reality is that in stud welding, when facing long [...]

In vehicle manufacturing processes, the reliability of each component determines the efficiency of the entire production line. At Bearcat, we develop specialized engineering solutions for robotic [...]

At Bearcat, we have been developing fastening solutions for the most demanding industrial sectors for over 40 years. From our facilities in Barberà del Vallès (Barcelona), we work every day to [...]

Stud welding seems simple… until something goes wrong. What should be a strong joint becomes a weak spot, an unexpected expense, or even a safety risk. After years of observing projects in [...]

Benefits, Myths, and Prevention Against Metal Fumes Drinking milk during welding work is a common practice in many workshops, especially among stud welders. This habit, passed down from [...]

In the world of metal fabrication, choosing the right welding method can make the difference between a durable joint and a structural failure. Two of the most commonly used techniques—resistance [...]
