Do You Know the Application of Rivet Nut?

There is a fastener that can achieve both effects at the same time, it is Rivet Nut. It is a pull rivet nut, and some people call it a pull cap. It is developed to solve the problems of easy melting of welding nuts on metal sheets and thin tubes, easy deformation of base materials by welding, and easy slipping of tapping internal threads. It does not require tapping internal threads or welding nuts. It is firm, efficient and easy to use.

The head of Rivet Nut has flat head, small head, hexagonal, semi-hexagonal, etc., and there is also a distinction between through holes and blind holes, and there are also classifications of knurling and non-knurling.

How does Rivet Nut work?

The working principle of Rivet Nut can be said to be a combination of pull rivets and welding nuts. The rivet nut is pulled by the screw on the rivet gun, and the pull rivet nut is longitudinally compressed, causing a convex deformation on the end surface, thereby clamping the riveted object to achieve the riveting effect.

After installation, Rivet Nut will have the ability to suspend the nut, evenly distribute the load to each circle of thread, thereby effectively improving the fatigue resistance of the rivet nut and improving the load tolerance between the thread teeth, thereby improving the strength of the matching bolt.

Rivet Nut can improve the thread strength of sheet metal materials and can be reused; it can be used from a single side of the connector to achieve excellent thin-wall riveting, seal riveting, single-sided riveting and other functions; it makes up for the various shortcomings of traditional welding nuts, such as places where thin plates are not easy to weld, places where welding nuts are not smooth, and places where thin tubes are easily fusible;

Rivet Nut is suitable for use in places where it is not easy to perform pressure riveting and expansion riveting, such as when the nut needs to be installed outside and the space inside is small, and there are requirements for strength, and pressure riveting and expansion riveting are not feasible.

The installation of Rivet Nut is very convenient. It can be riveted in one time with a pneumatic or manual rivet gun. However, when riveting, be sure to ensure that the rivet nut on the rivet gun and the workpiece being riveted are in a vertical state. Before riveting, also check whether the nozzle screw of the rivet gun is assembled correctly, such as whether its specifications match the size of the rivet nut, and whether the connection parts are secure.
