Rivet nut Guide
Rivet nuts, also known as threaded inserts, blind rivet nuts or threaded inserts are versatile fasteners that provide a threaded hole in materials that are too thin or too delicate to be tapped or threaded directly. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, aerospace, marine, and industrial industries.
The knurled 'anti-rotation' insert is produced by cold forged machines. Easy to insert and can guarantee a perfect resistance to puling out and vibration. The Stainless Steel version is even more efficient. Also known as blind rivet nuts or Threaded inserts.
KNURLEDEasy installation, simple drilling and no rotation during the setting. For soft material such as aluminium.
PLAINSimple installation, serration free and the most economical.
FULL HEXRequires hexagonal punching for installation. Better torque-to-turn than plain body.
SEMI HEXRequires hexagonal punching for installation. Better torque-to-turn than plain body.
SLOTTEDDesigned for soft materials such as plastics.
RUBBER BLIND NUT
Similar to a blind nut, the rubber nut offers optimum protection against vibrations, rust and electric currents.
OPEN AND CLOSED END
The inserts can also be made blind to prevent the infiltration of liquids, grease, dirt and any other fluid inside the threaded part.
Applications
Materials
ALUMINIUM
The most economical material. Easy to set with minimum of tool requirements.
STEEL
Used for the best technical performance in non-corrosive environments.
STAINLESS STEEL
Grade A2 or A4. Choose the corrosion resistance that best suits your application with Scell-it stainless steel.
Type of Head
FLAT
The "domed" head is the most common and widespread type. It is suitable for multiple applications.
EXTRA LARGE
Allows larger flexibility in drilling and reinforces the hole.
COUNTERSUNK
Requires good precise drilling. The countersunk head offers a perfect flush finish and no space between the assembled parts.
REDUCED
Requires accurate drilling. The reduced head offers a perfect flush finish and no space between the assembled parts.
