Blind Clinch Nut: An Innovator in Fastening Technology

In modern industrial manufacturing and assembly, the choice of fasteners is critical, not only for the structural strength of the product, but also for productivity and cost. Among the many fasteners available, the Blind Clinch Nut (Blind Rivet Nut) has become the preferred choice in many industries due to its unique structure and function.

Working Principle of Blind Clinch Nut

Blind Clinch Nut, also known as pressure rivet nut or clamp nut, is a special nut with a metal ring that can be fixed on the surface of the material by pressure to form a reliable threaded connection. The working principle is based on plastic deformation of the material and cold extrusion technology. During installation, the Blind Clinch Nut is placed into a pre-drilled hole and pressure is applied by means of a special installation tool. As pressure is applied, the metal ring of the nut deforms plastically and fits tightly into the wall of the hole in the material, creating a raised “rivet” structure that holds the nut securely to the material. This type of connection not only provides a strong fastening force, but also ensures the reliability and durability of the connection.

Areas of application for Blind Clinch Nut

Due to its unique fastening method and superior performance, Blind Clinch Nut is widely used in many fields such as automotive, aerospace, marine, furniture, electronic equipment and so on. In automotive manufacturing, Blind Clinch Nut is commonly used in the connection of body panels, such as doors, roofs, floors, etc. They can provide reliable threaded connections, while reducing the use of welding and riveting, reducing production costs. In the aerospace industry, Blind Clinch Nut is used to join aircraft skins, wings and fuselage structures due to its high strength, vibration and corrosion resistance. In addition, Blind Clinch Nut has become an indispensable fastener in furniture manufacturing and electronic equipment assembly due to its easy installation and disassembly characteristics.

Advantages of Blind Clinch Nut

1. Easy to install: Blind Clinch Nut is easy and quick to install, no additional welding or riveting equipment is required, only the use of special installation tools.

2. High Strength: The rivet structure formed by cold extrusion technology can provide strong fastening force to ensure the reliability and durability of the connection.

3. Material saving: Blind Clinch Nut does not require pre-processing of threads on the material, reducing material waste and processing costs.

4. Vibration Resistant: Due to its unique fastening method, Blind Clinch Nut maintains good connection performance in vibrating environments.

5. Aesthetics: After installation, the surface of Blind Clinch Nut is flat, which will not damage the appearance of the material and improve the overall aesthetics of the product.
