Creating threads on thin-walled components

RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts are the most versatile solution for fastening high-strength nut or bolt threads to components when tapped threads are not possible due to small wall thicknesses.

Get an overview of our assembly solutions.

Characteristics

RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and studs

For internal and external threads of components with small wall thicknesses, Böllhoff offers RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and studs. These elements are mounted without counter pressure ("blindly") and can therefore also be set at hollow sections.
RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and studs are available in many variations and sizes and therefore offer numerous fastening solutions with additional functions.

Get information about our different versions of blind rivet nuts and studs and have a look at realised applications.

Technology

Blind rivet nuts

RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and studs can easily be used in metal or plastic components as well as in many other material combinations.
Often for hollow bodies, profiles, housings or components with one-sided accessibility, the economical setting of the blind rivet nut and stud is the only possible solution.

Benefits

  • Stable thread on thin-walled components
  • Installation in case of one-sided accessibility (blind assembly)
  • 2 functions (riveting and screwing)
  • Flexible application for every production step
  • The workpiece is not exposed to thermal stress.
  • Low capital expenditure

Setting

Example of a spindle lifting procedure

Here, the RIVNUT® blind rivet nut and stud is spinned on, upset and afterwards spinned off.
