Secure in Thin Materials: How knurled rivet nut Precision & Strength
In many industrial and manufacturing settings, thin metal sheets, plastic panels, or constrained structural elements pose a challenge for conventional fasteners—especially when back-side access is impossible.
Knurled rivet nut shine in these scenarios.
Their design allows the tail portion to automatically shear off to match the material thickness upon installation, creating a solid, internal threaded socket.
Key Benefits:
Ideal for Thin Materials: Even ultra-thin metals or plastics can host robust threaded structures.
Blind Installation: Can be installed from one side only—no need to access the backside.
Self-Shearing Tail Design: Excess tail is automatically trimmed during installation, ensuring consistency and strength.
Built-In Threaded Socket: Provides a stable base for subsequent screw insertion.
Common Use Cases: Automotive sheet metal components, electronics enclosures, appliance housings, office equipment, mechanical instrumentation—especially in tight or one-sided access environments.
Choosing shear-type rivet nuts means more than just locking strong—you’re enabling precise, reliable fastening even in confined spaces and for thin materials.
