Precision cold-formed blind fasteners designed for heavy-duty metal joining, thin-sheet thread creation, and high-vibration structural applications.
An authoritative evaluation of load distribution, spin-out torque, and plastic deformation dynamics in modern thin-sheet structural joinery.
Flat Head Rivet Nuts (also categorized as threaded inserts or blind rivnut fasteners) provide a robust, load-bearing internal thread in sheet metal, tubing, and composite panels where back-side tool access is impossible. Unlike countersunk variants which require precise chamfering operations, the flat head flange acts as an integrated thrust washer.
This design increases the bearing surface area against the parent sheet metal, significantly mitigating sheet pull-through risks under dynamic tension loads. In thin-gauge aluminum or mild steel assemblies (0.5mm to 3.5mm), the prominent flange face distributes clamping forces over a wider radius, preventing localized yield failure of the parent material during high-torque bolt installation.
To resist rotational spin-out during high-speed automated power tool driving, flat head rivet nuts feature specialized body geometries:
| Thread Size | Hole Size (+0.1/-0.0) | Grip Range (mm) | Flange Diameter (mm) | Flange Thickness (mm) | Pull-Out Load (N) | Max Torque (N·m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3 x 0.5 | 5.0 mm | 0.5 - 1.5 | 7.5 mm | 0.8 mm | 3,200 N | 3.8 N·m |
| M4 x 0.7 | 6.0 mm | 0.5 - 2.0 | 9.0 mm | 1.0 mm | 5,800 N | 7.5 N·m |
| M5 x 0.8 | 7.0 mm | 0.5 - 3.0 | 10.0 mm | 1.0 mm | 9,100 N | 14.2 N·m |
| M6 x 1.0 | 9.0 mm | 0.5 - 3.0 | 12.0 mm | 1.5 mm | 13,500 N | 24.0 N·m |
| M8 x 1.25 | 11.0 mm | 1.0 - 3.5 | 15.0 mm | 1.5 mm | 22,000 N | 52.0 N·m |
| M10 x 1.5 | 13.0 mm | 1.0 - 4.0 | 17.0 mm | 2.0 mm | 31,500 N | 98.0 N·m |
| M12 x 1.75 | 16.0 mm | 2.0 - 4.5 | 21.0 mm | 2.0 mm | 44,000 N | 165.0 N·m |
Pioneering smart fastener technology, lightweight metallurgical alloys, and automated spin-pull installation systems.
Driven by electric vehicle (EV) lightweighting and aerospace fuel efficiency goals, our R&D roadmap focuses on cold-heading high-tensile 7075-T6 aluminum alloys. These deliver steel-equivalent thread strip resistance at one-third the mass, preventing galvanic corrosion in multi-material carbon fiber and aluminum assemblies.
Next-generation automated assembly lines demand real-time telemetry. Our flat head rivet nuts feature controlled stroke deformation windows optimized for sensorized spin-pull setting tools. Real-time feedback measures upsetting force and displacement curves, guaranteeing 100% joint verification in robotic cell installations.
Replacing traditional hexavalent zinc plating, WUXI AIPLLE is standardizing electroplated Zinc-Nickel (84% Zn / 16% Ni) topped with fluoropolymer sealants. This technical advancement delivers over 1,500 hours of neutral salt spray resistance (ASTM B117) without red rust, eliminating hydrogen embrittlement risks.
Delivering tailored, heavy-duty blind rivet nut systems optimized for stringent international industry standards.
IATF 16949 quality controls ensure our flat head knurled and full-hex rivet nuts resist severe cyclic vibrations in vehicle underbodies, seat frames, and battery pack housing covers. High thread integrity supports frequent maintenance re-torquing without thread stripping.
Outdoor photovoltaic structures face extreme thermal expansion and wind shear stress. Stainless Steel AISI 304/316 Flat Head Rivet Nuts provide non-corrosive, heavy-duty thread anchoring into thin-walled extruded aluminum and galvanized mounting rails.
For modular rack enclosures, electronics chassis, and air handling equipment, flat head rivet nuts allow flush sheet mounting without back-welding distortion or hazardous burn-through, providing clean, grounded electrical conductivity.
