Weld screws for permanent connections without counter support
Weld screws and weld studs from OEB are permanently welded to the component – quickly, process-reliably, and ideally for hard-to-reach areas. The great advantage: No counter support is required when fastening further components later. Whether in car body construction, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering – we supply welding connection elements for spot, projection, and arc-welded applications. Manufactured in cold forming process and available in various materials, head shapes and dimensions – also as special design according to sample or drawing.
Your Benefits at a Glance
Weldable from 0.6 mm material thickness

Overview of other connection solutions
In addition to weld screws, OEB offers a variety of other connecting elements that are specially tailored to different requirements in mechanical engineering, vehicle construction or equipment construction. Whether form-fitting press-fit solutions, individually manufactured special screws or automation-compatible connection technologies – our product variety enables the optimal fastening solution for every installation situation.
Weld screws individually tailored to your requirements
Do you need weld screws or weld studs that fit exactly to your application – even where standard solutions do not help? We manufacture screw solutions that can be precisely adapted to your requirements – whether in terms of weldability, component geometry or strength. Typical individualizations are e.g.:
- Special thread diameters or lengths
- Various welding points or projection geometries
- Combination of head shape and desired material
- Screws made of stainless steel or heat-resistant special materials
- Additional machining such as pins, tips or shaft slot
Materials & Standards
For our weld screws, we rely on high-quality materials that are characterized by strength, corrosion resistance and good welding properties. Steel, case-hardening and quenched and tempered steels, various stainless steels and non-ferrous metals such as brass and aluminum are used. Depending on the application, we manufacture according to common standards and industry-specific standards – precisely tailored to your technical requirements.

Specifications
Our weld screws can be configured in a variety of ways and precisely adapted to your requirements. They are available in all common thread and head shapes and can be provided with additional machining such as shaft slots, shoulder tips, pilot points or pins. Various options are available for surface finishing – including galvanized (CrVI-free, RoHS-compliant), nickel-plated, Delta-Tone, Dacromet or Geomet according to VDA standard. Thread locks and seals such as Tuflok, Precote or Loctite complement the spectrum. Heat treatments such as quenching, carbonitriding, tempering or case hardening ensure the desired strength. For parts subject to documentation, we can provide EMPB, VDA-Band 2 or PPAP verifications on request.

Exemplary applications of weld screws
Weld screws are used wherever screw connections are to be permanently fixed and mounted without counter support. Due to the direct welding with the component, they are particularly suitable for hard-to-reach mounting areas, thin-walled sheet metal constructions or automated manufacturing processes. Depending on the application, they offer high breaking torques, short cycle times and secure positioning – ideal for series production and demanding assemblies.
