Design and Construction

A tungsten carbide tyre stud with a cylindrical neck between the carbide pin and the seating flange. The neck and flange form the mechanical retention feature in the rubber; the carbide pin above it does the cutting on ice.

How It Works

Pull-out happens when the rubber around the neck is loaded beyond its grip. A cylindrical neck spreads that load evenly; a stepped or flanged profile adds a mechanical shoulder. Retention is therefore a body-design problem, separate from pin hardness.

Applications

High-load winter tyres, heavy vehicles, studded tyres on rough roads, fleet winter conversion.

Field Cases

  • Fleet: cylindrical-neck studs held through a full season on rough routes.
  • Heavy vehicle: retention stayed consistent under higher axle loads.
  • Retread shop: hole sizing to the neck stopped the early losses seen with a loose fit.

Material Comparison: Neck Geometry: Cylindrical vs Stepped vs Flanged

How the body holds the stud in the tread. Typical industry analysis:

Factor Cylindrical Neck (this stud) Stepped Neck Wide Flange
Load distribution in rubber Even Concentrated at step Spread under flange
Mechanical shoulder None Present Strongest
Pull-out resistance Good Better Best
Rubber stress at the hole Low Moderate at step Low, wider area
Hole sizing sensitivity Moderate High Moderate
Best use General winter tyre Rough roads Heavy / high-load tyres

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes stud pull-out?

Rubber around the neck being loaded beyond its grip, often made worse by a loose hole fit.

Why a cylindrical neck?

It distributes retention load evenly around the hole.

Is a flange better?

A wide flange adds the strongest mechanical shoulder for high-load tyres.

Does hole sizing matter?

Yes – size the hole to the neck diameter for consistent retention.

What is inspected?

Neck diameter, flange concentricity and carbide seating per lot.
