studtype
Studtype is a term used in mechanical engineering and product design to describe a category of fastener components that resemble stainless steel rods with threads, designed to join parts without a traditional headed bolt. A studtype component generally consists of a cylindrical shaft with threaded portions at one or both ends and often a smooth shank in between. The classification reflects variations in thread length, end configuration, and seating features, rather than a single universal standard.
Common variants include fully threaded studs, which have threads along the entire length; partially threaded studs,
Manufacturing typically involves turning or thread rolling to create predictable thread forms and tolerances, followed by
Standards for dimensions and thread forms generally align with established fastener specifications, such as ISO metric,
