Half hexagonal insert nut

Fastener element with a round-hexagonal body that provides a great resistance to rotation and extraction. The Bralo Half-hexagonal Insert Nut guarantees a solid and durable joint.
Description

The hexagonal insert nut is a mechanical fixing element that provides a grooving feature in applications with a single-side access that require a very high resistance to rotation. It is ideal for applications with thin metal sheets, tubes, extrusion or plastics.

It offers a great mechanical resistance. Compared to round body insert nuts, the half-hexagonal shape of the section and its inner hole substantially increase the resistance to rotation and extraction in metal sheets. The result is a homogeneous riveting that ensures a solid and high quality joint.

The result is a homogeneous riveting that ensures a solid and high quality joint.

Features and benefits
  • The hexagonal shape of the section and the inner hole doubles the resistance to rotation in thin sheets, compared to the insert nuts with round body.
  • Excellent solution to obtain a grooving feature in items with reduced thickness (0.5mm).
  • Single-sided access (blind insert nut).
  • The conical end of the body and the hexagonal shape allow for an easy insertion.
  • It offers an exceptional mechanical resistance that prevents rotation.
  • Versatility. They function both as an insert nut and a joint rivet.
  • It resists usual unscrewing.
  • The surface does not suffer from heat stress nor deformations.
  • It is available in different finishes that improve its resistance to corrosion.
  • Available in large, flat and in reduced head.
  • Its installation can be incorporated at any stage of production.
  • Fast and high precision assembly.
  • It requires simple and ergonomic tools, that can be pneumatic, automatic or hand tools.
  • The riveting process is environmentally friendly, free of smoke, sparks, fumes, etc.

Technical characteristics

Materials: Aluminium, Steel and Stainless Steel.

Diameters: M-3, M-4, M-5, M6, M-8, M-10, M-12

Heads: Large, flat and reduced heads.

Large Head
It provides a big bearing area that strengthens the hole and prevents traction or pulling failures. It can also be used as a separator.
Flat Head
It allows the creation of a virtual flat surface on the material.
Reduced Head
It offers the possibility of creating a virtual flat surface without the need of a drilling machine.

Fondo: Open and Closed


FINISH
SteelZincating (galvanic and alloys)
TYPES OF DESIGN

·         NYPLAS

Under request, this large head half-hexagonal insert nut is available with a PVC sealing under the head. This ring provides a bigger sealing that absorbs vibrations and increases the item resistance to temperature variations.

·        SQUARE INSERT NUT

The square insert nut increases the drilling life, compared to the hexagonal insert nuts. It is made in steel and available with large head.
