Welding Studs

Stud welding allows, through a simple process, the union of screw / stud and sheet metal without the need to pierce the surface, creating a heterogeneous union and eliminating production costs. It is definitely a simple and inexpensive process.

Bearcat is the only national company dedicated to 100% of stud welding applications. From the automotive sector, through civil works, to the small workshop. With a large stock of studs, machines and spare parts to attend to your demand “just in time”. And a technical team with more than 40 years of experience in the field of welding and joining techniques.

Self-Clinchings

The insertion is carried out by introducing the insert to the surface through the grooved part, having previously perforated the metal sheet, and gradually pressing through a press, achieving a correct closure and a strong seal.

At Bearcat, through our exclusive Bearfix brand, we have a wide range of self-inserts: Studs, nuts, spacers … cold mechanical fasteners for insertion into thin metal sheet thicknesses ranging from 0.8 to 3, 2 mm. In galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum.

Rivet nuts

Rivet nuts are a fastening element that allows the placement of a fillet in particularly reduced thicknesses or in awkward positions. Fixings on which it would not be possible and / or economical to practice filleting with a tool.
