Capacitor Discharge Welding: Efficiency and Precision
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 offer technologies that combine precision, speed, and reliability. One of them is capacitor discharge welding, a technique that has transformed the way metal elements are joined in industrial processes.
What is capacitor discharge welding
This process uses the energy stored in capacitors to generate a high-intensity electrical discharge lasting just milliseconds. This discharge melts the base of the stud and bonds it to the base metal without the need for drilling or complex preparation. The result is a solid, clean, and distortion-free joint—ideal for thin sheets, delicate parts, or finishes requiring maximum precision.
Bearfix equipment: designed for industrial environments
Our range of equipment—such as the LBS 44, LBS 75, LBS 130 models and the PRO-C series—is designed for environments where reliability and efficiency are essential. These are robust machines, easy to configure, with ultra-fast charging times thanks to advanced electronics. They integrate seamlessly into manufacturing processes for metal components, technical furniture, electrical panels, appliances, and lightweight structures.
Bearfix studs: precision and strength
Complementing our equipment, we offer a complete range of studs specifically designed for capacitor discharge welding. Made of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass, our studs comply with DIN EN ISO standards and are designed to offer excellent weldability, high mechanical strength, and corrosion protection. We offer standard solutions and also develop custom studs on demand, tailored to the needs of each client and project.
Bearcat: 40 years of experience in welding and joining techniques
With over four decades in the industry, Bearcat has established its presence across all industrial sectors. Our solutions are found in automotive, railway engineering, shipbuilding, civil engineering, and industrial engineering. Our approach is based on three pillars:
