Rivet nut with small flange
Small-flange rivet nuts M4–M10 in zinc-plated steel, stainless steel and aluminium. FLOK supplies them for machine building and the automotive industry.
A rivet nut is designed to create a hole with metric thread in the material. It is installed into thin sheet-metal parts in which, for whatever reason, thread cannot be cut to install fasteners in the standard way.
The rivet nut is fitted with a small flange for fixing it in the hole, which ensures even distribution of load on the material. Bolts, screws, studs and other items can be screwed into the rivet nut, allowing various parts to be attached.
Manufacturing features
Rivet nuts of this type are made of carbon steel with a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion, as well as of stainless steel or aluminium – materials not subject to corrosion. Main characteristics:
- Nominal thread diameter ranges from M4 to M10.
- The diameter of the working part can range from 6 to 13 mm.
- Head size ranges from 7 to 15 mm.
Rivet nuts of this type are widely used in machine building: they are used for assembling various parts using a threaded connection. They are used in the automotive industry, machine tool manufacturing, instrument production and many other industries.
