Engineer Studs

Hague Fasteners have been manufacturing special engineer studs and waisted studs since 1971.


All special Engineer Studs are made to order so any thread lengths, thread fits or fitted diameter shanks can be easily accommodated.

Likewise all materials are carried in stock so that whenever you have a need for a small batch of double ended studs, Hague can give you an immediate quote and manufacture with a next day delivery if required.

Due to the countless combinations of Engineer Stud type, material grade, thread length configuration, thread form and many other variables, it is impossible to find your custom stud sitting on a stockists’ shelf, but Hague Fasteners can perform an immediate manufacture and supply often faster than a Stockist can draw from stock.

All Hague Fasteners need to know is …

What type of stud you need, is it a conventional Engineer Stud, a waisted stud, tie bars, a collar stud, wheel studs or studs to drawing or your design

What thread type…

are they UNC studs, UNF Studs, BSW Studs, BSF Studs, Metric Studs or Metric Fine Studs or even a combination of different threads on each end, a step down stud for example.

What material grade…

Hague Fasteners make Engineer Studs in all materials: from mild steel and alloy steels through high tensile grade 8.8 Studs, 10.9 Studs & 12.9 Studs. Hague’s forte is in the exotic materials, super duplex grades, stainless steels and critical superalloys.

What qty…

Hague are unbeatable in small batch runs 10pcs, 25pcs, 100pcs, 250pcs, quantities that need making to order.

What dimensional standards…

Of course many Engineer Studs are complete Special Studs made to your designs and drawings, but often special material grade studs are needed to a regular international standard such as DIN525 Studs, DIN938 Studs. DIN939 Studs, DIN940 Studs, DIN2509 Studs. DIN2510 Studs, BS2693 Studs, BS4439 Studs, ANSI B16.5 Studs, NFE25135 Studs or any other international standard stud.
Whatever your need, Hague Fasteners have decades of special material experience, and unrivalled stud manufacturing knowledge to ensure you will get the very best in customer service and delivery for all your engineer stud needs.

Hexagon Nuts & Hexagon Bolts are the perfect pairing!

Nuts and bolts come in various sizes and are used to hold a number of things together, Hexagon Nuts are used with a parallel bolt to fasten and stack parts together. Both the Hexagon Nuts and bolts are kept together through their friction and compression. In some cases vibration or rotation can cause nuts to loosen, and in certain situations a locking mechanism may be put in place to help keep the parts together. This can include the use of adhesives, lock wire or even oval-shaped threads to minimise the nuts from untightening. The most commonly manufactured nut is the hexagon, it has six sides which allows for easy grasp with a tool in tight spots. Hague Fasteners was founded to manufacture high quality fasteners, from standard sizes all the way to special sizes. The Hexagon Nuts that we manufacture are of a high standard and made from duplex stainless steel. This substance is very strong and is the main reason why we manufacture our fasteners using duplex steel as it is hard-wearing and tough. We also use duplex steel to manufacture our other fasteners, including our Hexagon Bolts and Stud Bolts, all of which are used by a variety of different industries. Hexagon Nuts and Hexagon Bolts are available in a variety of sizes and can be specially designed to meet your exact specification.  

At Hague Fasteners we pride ourselves on the service we provide to our clients, the special fasteners we manufacture are produced within the UK. We concentrate on non-standard sizes and exotic materials for our products, which makes us the leading manufacturer of special fasteners within the UK. Since being founded in 1971 we focus on supplying to many industries around the world, for more information visit our website or contact us directly with any queries you may have. 

Quality Wheel Studs Made In Britain

Wheel Studs are the most important component of any vehicle as they hold the wheel of any automobile.

The advantages of using Wheel Studs instead of wheel bolts is that they are much easier to move both the wheel and tire during tire changes making it efficient and easier. Most vehicles today tend to have
five studs per wheel, although the majority of larger vehicles like Lorries and trucks have more. Before changing any wheel it is imperative to make sure that each lug nut is gently threaded onto the stud. It is of great importance to make sure that the nut is not over tightened as that can strip the thread, but
sometimes the thread on Wheel Studs can be stripped so when that happens they should be replaced immediately. At Hague Fasteners the strength of our Wheel Studs is unmatched compared to any other available on the market. This is because our studs are specifically tailored for Special Vehicles Manufacturers designs. Consisting of the finest material such as alloy steel, they are hardened and if needed coated with Zinc or Manganese Phosphate. The Wheel Studs are available to order no matter what quantity you need.

Our Stud Bolts are manufactured from Stainless Steel materials making them tough and sturdy. Hague Fasteners are one of the first original manufacturers of Stud Bolts, and even though the marketplace has flooded with imports over recent years, we have managed to stay at the very top and remain a leading company to manufacture and supply excellent quality products. It is no surprise that our excellence just shines through to our customers, and makes us the leading supplier for vehicle and other industries.

Different Products Here at Hague Fasteners Including Engineer Studs.

As a fastener industry we have always try to build a strong relationship with fastener stockists and wholesalers in the UK and overseas. The aim of our company is not to treat fastener stockists as a competition, but is to make sure that our company complements the standard range that each standard fastener company offers their own clients. We have a very long tradition of assisting fastener stockists, wholesalers and general engineering supply companies with the manufacture of fasteners they would not or no longer keep on their shelves, including items to drawing or customer samples.
One of our specialites as a fastener company are engineer studs, we manufacture a range of engineer studs manufactured at the highest standards to suit all requirements. A stud (stud-bolt) is a round metal bar screwed at both ends or fully screwed. Engineered stud bolts can also have flanges at a set distance from one screwed end which provides a positive collar against which the stud is tightened. Engineer Studs with larger diameters, longer lengths or through drilled are our niche. Our excellence shines through with the High Temperature Material Grades and Super Duplex & Critical Stainless Steel Materials.
Wheel studs are used for many different automobiles and are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of your automobile. They are semi permanently mounted directly to the vehicle hub, usually through the brake drum or break discs, nuts are fastened over the wheel stud to secure the wheel.
Stud bolts are used mainly to fasten pipes and tubes; they are used as a threaded fastener, with a head, and are designed to be used along with a nut. These are a very sensible and easy way of securing things like piping and tubing in many different industrial applications.

Here at Hague Fasteners we like to manufacture custom fasteners, and we like to do it properly. Every detail has to be exact, and if it’s a custom fastener it needs to match the customer’s requirements exactly. And that’s no different when it comes to studs.
When we mention studs you probably think of attractive males that you’ve seen on T.V, well we’re an engineering company, so that isn’t the case! When we say Studs, we mean Studs – Engineer Studs, wheel studs, and stud bolts. But what are all these different types of stud?

Stud Bolts

Stud bolts are round metal bars that can be screwed at both ends or fully screwed, a bit like a screw with no head. Stud bolts like these are found all over the place, they are similar to doweling rods in the way that they work.
Engineer Studs

Engineer studs are the same as standard stud bolts except they can have flanges at a set distance from one end which creates a positive collar against the surface the stud bolt is tightened too. These are more specific studs.
Wheel Studs

We’ve written up about wheel studs before in a previous post right here on our blog. Wheel studs are on every vehicle with wheels and their purpose is to hold the wheel on to the axis of a vehicle and make it easier the wheels. If you want to know more about them please refer back to here.

What Are Wheel Studs?

Wheel studs are a type of fastener that are used to hold the wheels on to vehicles. They are mounted directly to the brake disc semi-permanently.

Although many vehicles use bolts instead of studs there are still some advantages to using Wheel Studs.
Wheel Studs allow for easier tyre changes – This is because when Wheel Studs are used they create the ability to lift the tyre and wheel onto the studs, whereas with bolts you would have to lift the tyre and hold it whilst you insert a bolt.

Stud Bolts

A stud bolt is a bolt that is either fully threaded or that has threads on both ends. The purpose of engineer stud bolts is to permanently screw one end into a fixture, and then use a nut on the other end of the bolt. Stud bolts may also be called ‘standing bolts’.
