Ball Studs Products
Dependable Ball Studs
Well-designed ball studs to allow the natural movement of the gas strut and enable smooth operations.
Ball Studs Designed To Fit Across Varied Industries
Ball studs are a critical part of gas strut systems. These provide a robust mounting point so gas struts can perform the desired movements (lifting, lowering or holding) at a controlled pace.
At Concept Fasteners, we supply high-quality ball studs designed for applications across industries. Our range addresses a variety of functional requirements and installation conditions. We supply ball studs suited to different mounting needs. These include:
- Threaded ball studs that screw directly into a tapped hole.
- Self-tapping ones are useful when pre-tapped holes aren't available.
- Weld-on studs to act as a permanent fixture, especially during heavy duty application.
- Bolt-on that is accessible from both sides of the mounting surface and allows easy adjustments.
All of our ball studs and ball stud receptacles are built according to the Australian standards and are certified ISO 9001 2015.
How to Choose the Right Ball Stud?
Since ball studs are available in diverse types and sizes, it's pivotal to choose the right one for the intended purpose (automotive, industrial or a DIY project). Here’s how to find the right ball stud from our collection.
Ball Size Matching
The correct size ensures secure engagement and smooth rotation without unwanted looseness. We offer 8 mm, 10 mm and 13 mm ball studs to choose from. In case your requirements vary, reach out, and we can work it out.
Fixing Method
Male and female configurations suit different mounting approaches. The choice depends on whether the surface accepts a threaded fixing or requires a bolt-through solution.
Material Suitability
Depending on the purpose and environment, it's crucial to choose the apt ball stud material. We use:
- Carbon steel, known for its high strength and useful for general purposes.
- Zinc-plated steel apt in indoor settings where occasional moisture is present.
- Stainless steel for marine environments or outdoors where frequent cleaning is needed.
Assembly Access
Access during installation influences how easily the fitting can be positioned and secured. Considering this early supports smoother assembly.
