Complete Stud Welding

CD Ground Weld Studs

CD Ground Weld Studs are engineered to provide a larger-than-standard flange diameter for applications requiring improved electrical ground connections. The increased flange surface helps create a more effective grounding interface compared to conventional flanged CD weld studs.

CD Ground Weld Studs are compatible with both Capacitor Discharge (CD) and ARC Short Cycle welding processes and are available in mild steel and stainless steel materials. Complete Stud Welding provides application, dimensional, and technical assistance for selecting the appropriate grounding stud configuration.

  • Oversized Grounding Flange
  • CD & ARC Short Cycle Compatible
  • Mild & Stainless Steel Options
  • Designed for Ground Connections

Product Overview

CD Ground Weld Studs are specifically developed for electrical grounding applications where an oversized flange improves the grounding interface between the stud and the attached component. The larger contact surface enhances electrical continuity compared to standard flanged CD weld studs.

Designed for both Capacitor Discharge and ARC Short Cycle welding systems, these grounding studs provide dependable installation while supporting a variety of electrical, industrial, and equipment manufacturing applications.

CD Ground Weld Stud Features

CD Ground Weld Studs are designed to improve grounding performance by combining an oversized flange with reliable stud welding compatibility for electrical grounding applications.

Better Ground Connection

The main feature is that (CGT) CD Ground Weld Studs provide a larger-than-normal flange diameter to help obtain a better ground connection than standard flanged CD studs.

Dual Equipment Welding

CD Ground Weld Studs are welded in place using two specific machine setups: CD-type equipment and ARC short-cycle-type equipment.

Material Type Options

To cover different environmental requirements, CD Ground Weld Studs are manufactured and available in mild and stainless steel materials.

Long Collet Stops

Extended 2-3/8" long collet options match this series, but note that they require Long Style Stops for proper tool assembly.

Special Order Lengths

The lengths in the matrix, 0.59" and 0.63", are standard, while other lengths are considered special order items.

Weld Ready

Designed for use with compatible collets and welding accessories to support proper installation using CD stud welding equipment.
