THREADED TUBULAR SELF-LOCKING RIVET NUT WITH ROUND HEAD AND SEMI-HEXAGONAL SHANK Family/Type of product Deformation Threaded Insert Receiving material Composites, Copper, Stainless steel, Light Alloy, Steel, Thermoplastic, Thermosetting Plastic Assembly Deformation Coating In Natural State, White Zinc Plated Commercial name DEFORM-NUT® DEFORM-NUT® DEFORM-NUT® is a metal tubular threaded rivet with cylindrical or hexagonal shank. Its upper part is made by a deformable expansion chamber to anchor the rivet onto the material. It can be applied to parts with no access to the inside (for example tubes, sheet metal, box structures, composite materials etc.). It is easy and quick to apply, is versatile, aesthetically appealing and with high technical mechanical resistance’s technical characteristic’s. Besides being an ideal system for the assembly of parts on box-structures, is also a valid alternative to the use of welded nuts for its rapidity of assembly and as it is possible to use it on already finished parts. For this reason, it can be used at any stage of the production process, giving technicians plenty of freedom at design stage. It can be fitted to any material (aluminium, steel, fibreglass, plastic and composite materials, etc.) that has a minimum thickness of 0.5mm. Thus, problems involving threading on thin elements are solved. To install it, all you need is to bore a cylindrical or hexagonal hole; it can also can be used as a rivet for assembling two or more parts; other demountable elements can be applied at a later stage. Once fitted, it requires no further finishing operations.
