Triangle Machine Products is a trusted manufacturer of ball studs, offering fully machined, precision-crafted components for critical mechanical linkages and joint assemblies. Designed to provide controlled articulation and load transfer, our threaded ball studs and custom ball studs are machined to exact tolerances for your demanding applications.
Where stamped or cast components may fall short in terms of fit, finish, and longevity, Triangle delivers a fully machined alternative—ensuring consistent quality across both prototype and high-volume runs. Whether you’re integrating ball studs into motion-control systems, suspension assemblies, or gas springs, our parts are built to perform under load and over time.
Ball studs are used in mechanical joints that require a combination of rotational and angular movement. Commonly found in automotive suspension systems, linkage arms, seat recline mechanisms, and fluid power actuation, these components must withstand continuous stress, vibration, and dynamic loads. Precision is non-negotiable—the geometry of the ball, the transition to the shank, and the thread form all affect joint performance, alignment, and wear.
At Triangle, we machine each ball stud to achieve tight tolerances for roundness, concentricity, and surface finish. The result is a product that delivers smooth articulation, consistent torque retention, and a long service life—even in high-cycle or high-impact applications. From fixed mounting studs to articulating pivot points, Triangle’s ball studs provide a mechanically sound and repeatable connection you can count on.
Not all joints are built the same—and neither are all ball studs. Triangle Machine Products offers fully customized machining to produce ball studs that align with your exact design intent. Whether you require standard dimensions or a custom configuration with unique head geometry, thread types, undercuts, or shoulder transitions, our CNC machining process is tailored to your needs.
We produce ball studs in carbon steel, stainless steel, and other materials suited for strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance. Threading is available in both inch and metric standards, including custom lengths, partial threads, or special engagement features. Some assemblies demand studs with close-tolerance press-fit diameters, others require drive flats or through-holes for secure installation. Triangle machines each feature with precision, so your assembly functions right the first time—and every time after.
Ball studs operate in assemblies where joint movement, load control, and mechanical reliability intersect. If tolerances are off or materials are inconsistent, your joint wears out faster—or worse, fails under load. That’s why manufacturers across industries turn to Triangle Machine Products for precision ball studs that meet both design specifications and real-world demands.
Unlike mass-produced or cold-formed alternatives, Triangle’s ball studs are machined from solid bar stock, giving us full control over geometry, thread integrity, and ball concentricity. We don’t compromise fit or performance to cut corners. Instead, we focus on machining high-quality components with consistent results—across every order, every time. For assemblies that rely on ball studs to function smoothly and securely, Triangle provides the quality, responsiveness, and technical support that make the difference.
We manufacture a wide range of ball studs including threaded ball studs, partially threaded studs, pivot-mount ball studs, and custom designs with drive features or installation aids. Each part is machined to spec with tight tolerance on ball diameter, shank dimensions, and thread profiles.
Yes. Triangle specializes in custom ball studs designed to match your specific application needs, including custom ball sizes, shoulder geometry, thread specifications, and materials for high-load or corrosive environments.
We machine ball studs from carbon steel, stainless steel (including 303 and 416), and specialty alloys based on strength, corrosion resistance, or operating temperature requirements. Finish options such as plating or passivation are also available upon request.
