Optimal fastening with blind rivet expansion nuts

Blind rivet expansion nuts are designed to create a reliable threaded connection in materials where traditional nuts are not applicable. They are ideal for use in thin and soft materials, such as plastic and thin sheet metal.

Specifications of the M4x17 expansion nut

• Thread size: M4
• Length: 17 mm
• Clamping range: 0.1 to 5.0 mm
• Material: Steel, galvanized
• Quantity per package: 10 pieces

Advantages of this expansion nut

• Easy installation: Can be placed in a pre-drilled hole without access to the rear side of the material.
• Strong grip: The expansion function ensures a firm anchoring, even in thin or soft materials.
• Vibration resistant: Remains securely in place, even under vibrations, which is essential in automotive applications.

Applications in the automotive sector

In the automotive industry, blind rivet expansion nuts are often used to fasten components to thin sheet materials, such as body panels and interior parts. They provide a reliable threaded connection without the need for weld nuts or other complex fastening methods.

Installation instructions

1. Preparation: Drill a hole with the correct diameter in the material.
2. Placement: Insert the expansion nut into the hole.
3. Fastening: Use a suitable tool to deform the nut so that it is firmly anchored in the material.

Maintenance and durability

These galvanized expansion nuts are resistant to corrosion, which extends their lifespan, even in humid or corrosive environments. Regular inspection of the fastenings ensures continued reliability.
