Solutions for the use of blind rivet nuts

A blind rivet nut is a special kind of nut that has the function of pulling and riveting. In engineering, rivet nuts are widely used when they need to be connected or fixed. This article will introduce the use of blind rivet nuts in detail to help readers use blind rivet nuts correctly and safely.

The basic structure of rivet nut:A rivet nut consists of a nut body and a rivet shank. The body is usually made of metal, with internal threads and a unique shape. The rivet shank is usually steel and has a certain length and strength.

Steps to use a blind rivet nut

1. Preparation: First, prepare the workpiece and nut to be connected or fixed. Ensure that the workpiece's surface is free of impurities or corrosion to ensure the firmness of the connection.

2. Hole chiseling: To fix the workpiece, use the appropriate tools to drill holes in the workpiece to ensure the hole diameter and position accuracy.

3. Threading: According to the specification and size of the blind rivet nut, threads are machined on the inside of the drilled hole. Thread machining requires appropriate threading tools and machining techniques to ensure the quality of the threads.

4. Installation of the nut: Insert the blind rivet nut into the drilled hole and rotate it so that it and the thread bite each other. During the rotation process, appropriate pressure is applied to ensure that the nut is fully embedded in the threads.

5. Riveting: Use the riveting tool to insert the riveting shank into the nut hole and apply force. The rivet shank will hold the nut firmly inside the workpiece and create a strong connection during the riveting process.

6. Checking the Connection: After the riveting is completed, the connection must be checked for firmness. The strength of the connection can be verified using appropriate testing tools or methods, such as a tension tester or shear test. Make sure the connection meets the design requirements.

7. Precautions for use: When using blind rivet nuts, the following points need to be noted:

(1) Select the appropriate blind rivet nut specification and size to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection;

(2) Pay attention to safety when operating to avoid injury caused by improper operation;

(3) Avoid excessive riveting or insufficient riveting during use so as not to affect the connection effect;

(4) Regularly check the connection parts and repair or replace them in time when problems are found.

Blind Rivet Nuts Application Areas:A blind rivet nut is widely used in automobiles, aerospace, electronic equipment, machinery manufacturing, and other fields. It can connect thin plates, pipes, metal components, etc. It has the advantages of a solid connection and easy installation.

In automobile manufacturing, rivet nuts, such as doors and roofs, are commonly used in body connections. In aerospace, rivet nuts are widely used to connect aircraft structures, such as aircraft wings, fuselage, etc. In electronic equipment manufacturing, blind rivet nuts combine circuit boards, heat sinks, etc. In machinery manufacturing, blind rivet-pulling nuts can connect mechanical parts, equipment, and so on.

Advantages of blind rivet nuts:Compared with the traditional bolt connection, blind rivet nut has the following advantages:

1. Easy to install: the installation process of blind rivet nut is simple; one only needs to use the riveting tool to complete the connection, eliminating the installation steps of bolts;

2. Firm connection: blind rivet nuts form a strong connection by firmly biting inside the workpiece, with high tensile strength and shear strength;

3. Wide range of application: blind riveting nuts are suitable for connecting workpieces of various materials, such as metal, plastic, etc;

4. Aesthetic: blind riveting nuts have a unique appearance, which can make the connection part more beautiful without the need to add decorative parts such as nut covers;

5. Space saving: blind rivet nuts do not need bolts and washers, can save connection space, and are suitable for occasions with limited space.

The correct use of a blind rivet nut requires the use of rivet nut tools:

1. First, check the gun nozzle screw is not assembled correctly. According to the blind rivet nut scale selection of the corresponding gun head and riveting bolts, the articulation components are firmly connected.

2. Pay attention to the deformation length or displacement of the riveted nut, and then correctly adjust the operating rod angle.

3. The Rivet nut tool scale ring is used to adjust the riveting stroke; operation can be adjusted according to demand; it is worth noting that in changing the length of the riveting bolt, you need to open the two handles, adjust the gun head sleeve, is the riveting bolt length is slightly more significant than the length of the blind riveting bolt length can be revealed, and ultimately, the adjusting nut and the gun body and tighten.

4. Finally, open the two hands to pull out all the wood, the corresponding blind rivet nut on the end of the riveting bolt, and pinch and push the wood that can be screwed on the gun head bolt. Then, the rivet nut into the riveted parts are pre-drilled holes, and then force the pressure of the two handles; at this moment, the blind rivet nut expansion of the workpiece riveted tight, and then pull out the ball of wood, the blind rivet nut that is from the threaded holes to exit. You can finish the blind rivet nut device.

Note: When using a manual rivet nut gun, if the cap is loose, it should be tightened in time. The gun head bolt should not be destroyed after use.

The blind rivet nut has a significant application value as a special nut in the project. Correct use of blind rivet nuts and following the precautions for use can ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection. The wide application of rivet nuts provides more choices and solutions for engineers and technicians in various industries and promotes the development and progress of engineering technology. Blind rivet nuts have many applications in machinery manufacturing, construction, automotive, aerospace, and other fields. Its main uses include connecting thin plates and removable connections, enhancing connection strength, solving the problem of non-parallel connections, reducing material loss, and preventing loosening. With the continuous development of industrial technology, the application of blind rivet nuts in various industries will continue to expand.
