Tubtara^® Blind Rivet Nuts

Tubtara^® is a mechanical fastener that ensures a strong thread in thin and thick metal plates or profiles, in composites or (engineered) plastics. It is ideal for applications where there is little or no access from/at the rear. It can clinch separate sheets or profiles together – acting as a rivet – and enables the (dis)assembly of a third component via a bolt or screw.

10 reasons for choosing Tubtara^® blind rivet nuts:

Simple blind installation: applied from one side of the workpiece
Low assembly cost versus other methods of installing threads in plates or profiles
Fast, easy assembly: further reducing the assembly costs
Zero-risk installation: no damage to the workpiece surface, enabling installation in pre-coated or pre- painted applications for a clean, undamaged thread
No deformation of the workpiece
No surface preparation required
Ideal for close-to-edge applications
Suitable for repeated assembly
Retained fastener: cf. Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
Low installation cost: no expensive tools or applications

Installation

Screw or bolt inserted for assembly of another part
Assembled part
Workpiece: can be one sheet/profile or several sheets which require clinching
Bulb or counter head: the chamber (unthreaded section) is deformed during setting
Strong, secure internal thread
Open or closed end: closed-end version prevents the ingress of dirt and fluids, especially in combination with an underhead seal
Chamfer: guides the Tubtara^{^®} into the hole
Shank: round, full- or semi-hexagonal, knurled or splined version
Grip
Head: flat, countersunk, low profile, watertight, anti-turn head or customised head type
