The stud, the mechanical fastener par excellence...<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

A small mechanical part of our daily lives, the dowel can be found just about everywhere, but is rarely seen. Its main mission is to provide a fastening function. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>

What's a stud?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

At Massard, the dowel is a member of the family of mechanical parts that includes tie rods, inserts, fittings and plugs.<\/p>\n

A victim of its own success, the dowel is sometimes referred to as a connecting pin...<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Its distinctive feature is, of course, that it has an implanted sense, unlike the tie rod, for example.<\/p>\n

The tie-rod has two threaded ends with a \"free\" length, but the rib is standardized at 0 + 2 times the thread pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The fixing pin has two different ends. On the one hand, the thread is \"free\", like the tie rod; on the other, it's implanted: thread length accurate to a tenth of a millimeter. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

A fastener par excellence, the fastening stud is invisible, yet there may be some in the seat you're sitting on as you read this article.<\/p>\n

You'll certainly find it in your car's engine, but also in the crane that was recently installed near your home.<\/p>\n

The dowel originates from a metal or plastic bar, with a diameter ranging from 2 to 60 mm; it can reach great lengths (up to 50 times the diameter).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Talking materials, talking deadlines: the mechanical parts industry under pressure.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

From mild steel to hard\/treated steel and stainless steel, the stud is a part that meets all quality standards.<\/p>\n

As is the case for all suppliers of mechanical parts, Massard is not immune to soaring material price curves.<\/p>\n

In addition to the fact that the situation is becoming increasingly complex, forcing us to multiply our sources of supply, even for common materials, prices have literally skyrocketed, averaging +300 euros per tonne in just a few months!<\/p>\n

And when we talk price, we also talk lead time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>

One can't have one without the other, and when prices soar on the one hand, and lead times get longer on the other...<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>

At Massard, fastening studs are an art!<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Our customers put their trust in us and appreciate the fact that our team knows how to organize itself to remain reactive and agile.<\/p>\n

Our customers are also sensitive to our manufacturing methods. At Massard, studs are threaded by rolling(see previous article<\/a>). <\/p>\n

A fastening stud with rolled threads provides much greater resistance to pull-out. And when that stud is in a crane at the end of the street, it's reassuring! <\/p>\n

We are also able to manufacture parts to drawings, as well as to NFE, DIN, ISO, UNC, UNF, GAZ, NPT standards...<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In short, goujon at Massard is an art form.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
