Self-Clinching Rivet Nut
The rivet nut, often also referred to as a self-clinching rivet nut, is a clinch fastener that is riveted into thin sheet metal to provide a thread for fastening screws.
The rivet nut is fastened by inserting it into a prefabricated pilot hole in the sheet metal and then forming the rivet collar on bottom of the sheet. As the formed rivet collar protrudes minimally on the back of the sheet metal, the pilot hole is provided with embossing.
Rivet nuts are highly resilient and are also suitable for lightweight construction as well as for gas- and watertight applications.

Overview of rivet nuts
Our automation-grade rivet nuts are available in various designs and differ in terms of a number of features:
Sheet thickness - The minimum sheet thickness should be observed to ensure reliable fastening in the component.
Thread size - The thread sizes range from metric sizes M5 to M14.
Outer diameter - The outer diameter determines the size of the rivet nut to ensure a good pull-through force.
Head serration - Rivet nuts have pronounced wedge under-head ribbing. These ensure high torque absorption.
Rivet collar - The formable rivet collar is folded around the sheet metal. This generates very high push out forces.
Special designs - A wide range of parameters relating to the area of application, geometry, properties and surface can be adapted to your requirements.
