Welcome To Our Rivstuds Collection

Welcome to RivetLab, your go-to supplier for Rivstud Rivet Nuts. A Rivstud, also referred to as a rivet stud, is a specialised fastener comprising a flanged nutsert body on one end and a threaded stud on the other. It securely fastens two or more materials, typically sheet metal or thin-walled structures, by establishing a durable, high-strength threaded connection. Particularly suited for use in hard metric dimensioned drilled or punched holes, Rivstud rivet nuts offer an efficient alternative to weld studs or clinch studs. For more information about Rivstuds, please contact us directly or visit the 'Documentation' section on the individual product page. 

Advantages of Rivstuds

Rivstuds combine the functions of joining materials and providing an additional fastening point through a threaded stud. Here are the key advantages:

• High Strength and Reliability: Rivstuds offer a secure and dependable fastening solution, even for heavy components. Their high load-bearing capacity ensures long-term durability.
• Dual Functionality: Rivstuds join materials and provide an additional threaded fastening point, offering greater flexibility in design and application.
• Easy Installation: Rivstuds require access from only one side and can be installed quickly and easily using a rivnut tool with a customised mandrel, following just a few simple steps.  
• Versatility: Rivstuds are suitable for a wide range of applications, including wire harnessing on a truck frame, automotive and agricultural uses, as well as electrical, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems. They are also ideal for situations where rivet nut studs are needed as a hanging point on a centring pin. 
  
• No Surface Damage: Since no heat is transferred during installation, Rivstuds do not damage painted surfaces or alter the material structure, preserving the integrity of the materials involved.
• Cost-Effective: As an economical alternative to weld studs or clinch studs, Rivstuds reduce the need for specialised equipment and labor, making them a cost-effective choice.
