Applications & Industries

Where Stainless Knurled Countersunk Blind Rivet Nuts are used, and what decides the specification in each case. Stocked from M3 to M4.

Industries that specify Stainless Knurled Countersunk Blind Rivet Nuts

  • Automotive interiors Flush threaded mounting points behind trim and finished panels.
  • Laboratory equipment Stainless blind threads in cleanable covers and guards.
  • Electronic housings Serviceable threads in thin sheet where insert rotation must be controlled.
  • Precision fabrication Countersunk blind inserts that remain below the finished panel face.
  • Automotive & transport Vibration-prone joints where the locking type is specified on the drawing.
  • Maintenance & MRO Replacements matched to the existing bolt class, thread and finish.

Typical applications

  • leaving a countersunk insert flush with the parent sheet
  • resisting rotation through a knurled blind body
  • adding a reusable thread without reaching the rear of the panel
  • matching countersink depth, hole diameter and grip range
  • locking an adjustment so it cannot drift
  • joints re-torqued at a service interval

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal
Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
High load
Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
Match the class
A nut below the bolt property class strips before the bolt reaches its own limit — pair class 8 nuts with 8.8 bolts, class 10 with 10.9.

Where to use something else

  • Do not leave the countersink shallow; a proud flange can interfere with the mating panel or finish.

Manufactured to Trade series (Bollhoff RIVKLE stainless-steel series), Stainless Knurled Countersunk Blind Rivet Nuts are nuts supplied by Engineering Hardware. The dimensional data, materials and selection notes are summarized here.

What Are Stainless Knurled Countersunk Blind Rivet Nuts?

Stainless Knurled Countersunk Blind Rivet Nuts are nuts defined by Trade series (Bollhoff RIVKLE stainless-steel series). They are selected by thread size and the dimensional characteristics shown below, and are available in a range of materials and finishes to suit the application and environment.

Materials & Finishes

Common materials include carbon steel (typically zinc plated or hot-dip galvanized), alloy steel in property classes 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9, and stainless steel A2 (304) or A4 (316) for corrosion resistance. Specify the material, property class and surface finish appropriate to your load and environment.

Pricing

Stainless Knurled Countersunk Blind Rivet Nuts are supplied to order. Pricing starts from approximately US$0.24 per piece for standard sizes in carbon steel; final pricing depends on size, material, finish and order quantity (MOQ applies). Submit your exact configuration with the quote form above.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
