GESIPA blind rivet nuts General information Advantages at a glance - Simple and fast mounting with one-sided component access - Placement of high-quality threads in thin and soft materials (steel, aluminum, magnesium, plastics etc.) - No thermal influences on the components and therefore no heat distortion or damage to the surfaces of the components. Therefore no post-processing is necessary - Very high flexibility of the production process - Low investment for mounting equipment - Versatile use. Also for hybrid connections and soft materials. - Production of water and gas-tight connections - No emission of heat, smoke and welding gases to the environment, and thus no impairment (danger) of man and environment Concepts The setting head is the part of the blind rivet nut which lies on the visible side of the component. The user has the option to select between the following variants: - Flat head - for a large contact surface on the component - Small head - for a minimum protrusion of the blind rivet nut and thus an almost level support of the mounting part - Countersunk head - for flat surfaces with lowered holes The shaft is the part of the blind rivet nut, Which deforms during the setting process and fixes the blind rivet nut in the component. This produces the so-called locking head. The user can choose from the following options: Round, milled or square (six or square) The material The customer can obtain the blind rivet nut from steel, aluminum or stainless steel (A2, A4) according to the application. The threads As standard, the GESIPA blind rivet nuts are equipped with metric threads, whereby the steel blind rivet nuts meet the requirements of strength class 8.8. Additional dimensions such as Imperial or coarse thread are possible on request.This text is machine translated.
