GESIPA Blind Rivet Nuts Advantages at a Glance:

• Easy and quick installation with one-sided access to components
• Placement of high-quality threads in thin and soft materials (steel, aluminum, magnesium, plastics, etc.)
• No thermal effects on the components, thus no warping or damage to the surfaces of the components. Therefore, no reworking is required
• Very high flexibility of the manufacturing process
• Low investment in assembly equipment
• Versatile use, also for hybrid connections and soft materials
• Creation of water- and gas-tight connections
• No emission of heat, smoke, and welding gases into the environment, thus no impact on humans and the environment

Terminology:

The setting head is the part of the blind rivet nut that rests on the visible side of the component. The user has the option to choose from the following variants:

• Flat head - for a large contact area on the component
• Small head - for minimal protrusion of the blind rivet nut and thus an almost flush seating of the assembly part
• Countersunk head - for flat surfaces with countersunk holes

The shank is the part of the blind rivet nut that deforms during the setting process and secures the blind rivet nut in the component. This creates the so-called closing head. The user can choose from the following variants: Round, knurled, or polygonal (hexagonal or square)

The Material:

The customer can obtain the blind rivet nut application-specific in steel, aluminum, or stainless steel (A2, A4).

The Thread:

Standard GESIPA blind rivet nuts are equipped with metric threads, with the steel blind rivet nuts meeting the requirements of strength class 8.8. Upon request, other dimensions, such as imperial or coarse threads, are possible.
