RIVNUT® blind rivets and RIVSTUD® blind rivet studs are the most versatile solution for adding a load carrying internal or external thread to thin-walled workpieces.
They can be installed into plastic or even ceramic components and into all metals.
The blind i.e. one-sided setting technique means that RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and RIVSTUD® blind rivet studs are often the only fastener solution for hollow sections, housings or where access is limited to one side of a component.
No additional finishing is required after setting, even with coated or painted components. Thus RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and RIVSTUD® blind rivet studs can be fitted at any stage in the production process, making their use extremely flexible.
