CP Series PierceForm® Stud Installation
CP Series Pierce Form Studs are property class 9.8 system-fed fasteners that pierce their own hole in a metal panel, creating a secure, sealed and permanent installation.
CP Series PierceForm Studs act as their own punch to become rigidly and permanently attached to a metal panel within the same press equipment and die used to form the part, thereby offering many advantages over conventional male fasteners.
CS Series PierceForm® Studs
For Thick Metal Applications
Designed specifically for thick metal applications,
these property class 9.8 system-fed fasteners
are automatically installed into pre pierced holes
and can be used anywhere on a vehicle.

Pierce Fastening Advantages
- Improved Profit
Potential
Pierce Fasteners offer the lowest installed cost of all the feasible alternatives. - Complete System Service
We offer an extensive system package: design, testing, fastener application and engineering tooling, start-up assistance, reliable product quality and delivery performance, and readily available training and service. We have a wide variety of proven tooling techniques available for complex installation configurations, including stand alone fixtures. - Quality of Installation
The integrity (quality) of the installation can be inspected visually, or with in-die sensors. Predictions of installed product performance can be visually determined without destructive testing of the parts. - Very Precise Thread Location
The precision installation tooling, coupled with precision Pierce Fasteners, delivers assured repeatability of accurate positioning. This produces closer tolerances than methods involving pre-pierced holes. - Capable of High Production
Rates
Pierce Fasteners can be incorporated into line, station, transfer, and progressive dies. High production rates are typical. - Unaffected by Metal Finish
Pierce Nuts and PierceForm® Studs can be installed in a variety of pre-finished panels (i.e. painted, galvanized, undercoated, and aluminum). - Wide Range of Thread Sizes
Available
Both internal and external threads are available. These range from 4mm or #10-32 to 12mm or 7/16-20. This wide variety of threads will perform in materials ranging from 0.6mm to 3.5mm or .025" to .135" in thickness; in some cases even higher. - Not Subject to the Typical
Problems Associated With Welding
No noxious fumes, weld spatter, cold welds, perpendicularity problems, process variability, or degradation of base metal or its protective plating. - Widely Recognized for Over
60 Years
Methods have been proven in millions of production applications daily and are supported by a global network of affiliates.
