NELSON STUD WELDING INC.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NELSON STUD WELDING INC. from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in Nelson Stud Welding Inc. chucks and collets?
Nelson chucks and collets, such as the 500-001-357 chuck for #8 stud diameters and the 500-001-009 chuck for 5/16 in stud diameters, are manufactured from copper alloy. This material provides electrical conductivity for arc initiation and thermal resistance during the welding cycle. The copper alloy construction also offers mechanical durability for repeated clamping and release of weld studs.
What stud lengths are compatible with Nelson back-up pins like the 500-017-019?
The Nelson back-up pin (stop pin) model 500-017-019 is designed for stud lengths from 1 1/4 in to 1 5/8 in. The 500-017-018 variant accommodates stud lengths from 3/4 in to 1 1/8 in. These metal/phenolic pins are used to set the plunge depth and ensure consistent stud projection during drawn arc welding.
Are Nelson Morse taper chucks available for different stud diameters?
Yes, Nelson Morse taper chucks are offered for multiple stud diameters. For example, the 500-001-007 chuck fits 1/4 in stud diameters, the 500-001-009 fits 5/16 in stud diameters, and the 500-001-014 fits 1/2 in stud diameters. These chucks accommodate stud lengths from 1/4 in to 4 in, depending on the model.
What thread type is used on Nelson partially threaded drawn arc weld studs?
Nelson partially threaded drawn arc weld studs with collar, such as the 101-015-860-G1000 (3/8"-16 x 1", steel), feature a UNC-2A-RH thread type. This is a unified coarse thread with a Class 2A fit and right-hand orientation, suitable for standard nut and fastener compatibility.
What is the nominal size of Nelson standard ferrule grips?
Nelson standard ferrule grips, like the 501-001-007, have a nominal size of 3/8 in. These grips are made from copper alloy and feature a small foot size, designed to hold ceramic ferrules in place during stud welding to contain the weld pool and shape the flash.
