Flangeform® Ball Studs are one piece attachments with unique ribs designed for installation into thin gauge materials. The ball stud plunges the pre-punched hole and wraps itself around the material whilst the ribs embed themselves providing a high strength attachment point with exceptional bending moment properties. The ball stud can be manufactured with a large or small head.
Advantages :

• High bending moment resistance.
• One piece.
• Pull & push out strength have similar performance.
• Provides a flush mounting surface.
• No weld splatter / fumes
