Grooved insert nut

Insert nut especially designed for applications with a single-side access that have thin sheets or plastic parts. Bralo Grooved Insert Nuts ensure a safe and resistant fastening.
Description

The grooved insert nut is a mechanical fastening element that provides a grooving feature in applications with a single-side access. It is ideal for applications with thin metal sheets, tubes, extrusion or plastic.

Once it has been placed, its grooving gets hold of the material preventing its rotation. The result is a highly safe and resistant grooved solution.

Features and benefits
  • Excellent solution to obtain a resistant and reliable thread in parts with reduced thickness (0.5 mm.).
  • Single-sided access (blind insert nut).
  • Versatility. Double function: as a nut and as a joint rivet.
  • It is available in large and countersunk heads
  • It resists usual unscrewing
  • The application does not suffer from heat stress nor deformations.
  • Available in different finishes that improve its resistance to corrosion.
  • Its grooved body improves its resistance to rotation once it has been set.
  • Its installation can be incorporated at any stage of production.
  • Fast and high precision assembly.
  • It can be used with ergonomic and simple tools that can be pneumatic, automatic or hand tools.
  • The riveting process is environmentally friendly, free of smoke, sparks, fumes, etc.

Technical characteristics

Materials: Steel and Stainless Steel.

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

Heads: Large, reduced and countersunk

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.  
Countersunk Head
It allows the possibility of virtually creating a flat surface as long as a countersunk h is made in the application.
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

.         LARGE HEAD GROOVED AND KNURLED INSERT NUTA

Ideally used in applications with plastic. The knurls under the head ensure the locking of the insert nut with the riveted item.

.        SUPER LARGE HEAD GROOVED AND KNURLED OPEN-END INSERT NUT

It is ideal for applications with thin steel sheets, hollow or plastic parts. The super large head allows for the better distribution of the axial loads, while the knurls under the head ensure the locking of the insert nut.
