Rivet nuts, also known as pull rivet nuts and pull caps, are mainly used in the fastening field of various metal plates, pipes and other manufacturing industries.
1. Main application areas
Automobile manufacturing
Rivet nuts are widely used in the connection and fastening of automobile bodies, chassis, engines and other parts.
Especially under the trend of lightweight automobiles, rivet nuts are favored for their light weight and strong connection.
Aerospace
In the field of aerospace, rivet nuts are used to connect metal plates and pipes of aircraft, rockets and other aircraft.
Since aerospace products have extremely high requirements for the weight and strength of connectors, rivet nuts can meet these special needs.
Railway transportation
In the manufacture and maintenance of railway vehicles, tracks and other components, rivet nuts are used to connect and fix various metal parts.
Its use ensures the safety and reliability of railway transportation.
Refrigeration equipment
In the manufacture of refrigeration equipment, rivet nuts are used to connect metal pipes and plates of compressors, condensers, evaporators and other components.
Its fastening effect ensures the normal operation and cooling effect of refrigeration equipment.
Elevator manufacturing
The elevator car, door panels and other components need to be connected and fixed with rivet nuts.
The firm connection of rivet nuts ensures the safety and stability of elevators.
Switches, instruments, furniture, decoration and other fields
In these fields, rivet nuts also play an important role in connection and fastening.
For example, in the manufacture of switches, rivet nuts are used to connect the panel and base of switches; in furniture manufacturing, rivet nuts are used to connect the frames and components of furniture.
2. Applicable plate and pipe thickness
Rivet nuts are suitable for the fastening of plates and pipes of various thicknesses (0.5MM~6MM). Using pneumatic or manual rivet guns can be riveted at one time, which is convenient and firm, replacing traditional welding nuts, making up for the shortcomings of easy melting of metal sheets and thin tubes and uneven welding nuts.
3. Special application scenarios
Small space occasions
When the nuts of a certain product need to be installed outside, and the space inside is small, the pressure head of the riveting machine cannot enter for riveting, and the methods such as budding cannot meet the strength requirements, rivet nuts become the only feasible choice.
Non-structural load-bearing connection
Rivet nuts are mainly used in non-structural load-bearing bolt connections, such as the connection of interior parts of rail buses, highway buses, ships, etc.
Aluminum alloy component connection
Steel rivet nuts eliminate the tedious process of pre-embedded steel plates in the connection of aluminum alloy components, and the processability is significantly improved.
