When it may not be suitable

This draw stud is specifically designed for manual punching tools and may not be compatible with hydraulic punching systems or automated CNC machinery. It is not intended for use with materials exceeding the thickness or hardness ratings specified for the manual punch tool itself.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Material: High-strength steel
• Compatibility: Manual hole punches
• Application: Sheet metal processing

How to use

To use the Erko M16 draw stud, first ensure that the punch and die are correctly aligned with the material to be processed. Insert the draw stud through the pre-drilled pilot hole in the sheet metal and thread it securely into the punch assembly. Tighten the mechanism manually until the punch is firmly seated against the surface. Apply steady, controlled force using the manual punch tool to drive the punch through the material. Once the hole is completed, unscrew the draw stud to release the punch and remove the slug.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size compatibility with your existing manual punch set
• Ensure the material thickness is within the capacity of your punching tool
• Check for proper lubrication of the threads to extend the service life of the stud

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the threads for signs of wear or deformation and keep the stud clean and lightly lubricated to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing during heavy-duty tasks.
