Nutsert, Rivet Nut or Rivnut? Ask Rivetlab.

Nutsert

A nutsert, also known as rivet nut, rivnut, or threaded insert, is a one-piece internally threaded insert that can be installed in sheet metal and composite material from one side to create a permanent and reusable thread.

Although Nutsert® is a trademark of Avdel UK Limited, it has become a generic name for any blind threaded insert with a body and flange. Nutserts are made from different materials, such as:

● Aluminium

● Steel

● Stainless steel

● Brass

● Rubber

They are available in various sizes as well as body and flange shapes. Compared to a screw or bolt, nutserts are radially swelled to the shape of a hole. It also prevents the weakening of substrates due to vibration over time. Maintaining the rigidity of the joined materials is essential to joint strength and a reliable hold.

Three Benefits of Using Nutserts:

● They are blind fasteners, reliable, strong, and vibration-resistant

● They form a solid foundation for other threaded fasteners or screw-in bolts

● They are the best for mass production because they feature faster and easier assembly and can help lower installation costs.

Nutserts are commonly used in industries and applications, including aerospace and agricultural equipment, medical technology, construction, automotive industry, electronic appliances, furniture assembly, HVAC, boat building, playground equipment and more.

Rivnut

A rivnut, also known as rivet nut or nutsert, is a one-piece internally threaded insert that can be anchored from one side of a material to create a permanent and reusable thread. During installation, the mandrel of the rivnut tool engages the threaded part of the rivnut and crimps the rivnut body (the part without thread) with a pulling action until the body grips tightly against the material being fastened.

The first rivnut was created by BF Goodrich in the 1930s and sold under the trademark Rivnut®. Rivnut is now a trademark of BÖllhoff Inc., USA. Rivnuts are not only reliable fasteners, but it is also easy to install regardless of the thickness of the materials. In addition, they provide secured load-bearing threads into soft materials such as extrusions, castings, housings, tubes, and panels.
