Several categories of rivet nuts (A) - Kauster Hardware

1. Flat head rivet nut

Available materials: carbon steel, rust steel, aluminum

The cylindrical end is divided into two kinds of smooth rod and column grain, after riveting the head exposed to the thin plate, the column grain can play a role of non-slip, flat head rivet nut is also the most firm and most common in the rivet nut. The column anti-slip straight grain plays an anti-slip role after riveting. Flat head rivet nuts have a wide range of applications in the cabinet, electronics, and automotive industries, and are also the most commonly used type of all rivet nuts.

The specification parameters and installation method of the standard riveted nut GB/T1880.1 are attached below:

Riveting nut surface electroplating, hot dip galvanized detail (1) - Kauster Hardware

The quality judgment of the surface treatment of the riveted nut is mainly to check whether the anti-corrosion ability of the riveted nut is effectively increased, and whether the increase is in line with the expected requirements. After the surface treatment of the riveted nut, it can show a more beautiful appearance, and the corrosion resistance of the riveted nut itself will be improved. The main purpose is to make the rivet nut itself obtain anti-corrosion ability, in order to increase the reliability and adaptability of the use of the rivet nut.

Plating, hot dip galvanizing and mechanical plating on the surface of riveted nuts are the most common methods, which are introduced below.

Fastener industry rivet nut classification in life is widely used

Riveting nuts, also known as riveting nuts, pulling caps and pressing riveting nuts, are used in the fastening field of various metal sheets, pipes and other manufacturing industries, and are widely used in the assembly of mechanical and electrical and light industrial products such as automobiles, aviation, railways, refrigeration, elevators, switches, instruments, furniture and decoration. Developed to solve the shortcomings of metal sheet, thin tube welding nut easy to melt, substrate easy to weld deformation, tapping internal thread easy to slip teeth, it does not need tapping internal thread, does not need welding nut, riveting firm, high efficiency, easy to use.

Riveted nuts are mainly used in non-structurally bearing bolt connections, such as the connection of highway buses, rail buses, ships and other interior trim parts, and the improved riveted nuts that can prevent spin are more excellent than the nuts used for aircraft. The advantages of rivet nuts are lighter weight, no need to rivet in advance to fix the plate nut, and can still be used without operating space on the back of the substrate.
