Applications & Industries

The sectors that buy Blind Rivet Nut Studs, and the duty each one buys them for. Stocked from M4 to M8.

Industries that specify Blind Rivet Nut Studs

  • Automotive trim Blind studs for brackets where the back of the skin is inaccessible.
  • Electrical cabinets Stand-off and bracket attachment on closed sheet enclosures.
  • Rail interiors One-side threaded studs behind finished wall and ceiling panels.
  • Appliance panels Projecting threaded mounting points added after the housing is formed.
  • Transport & bodywork Trailer, bus and van panels joined blind from one side.
  • Signage & cladding Fast, vibration-resistant fixing of thin material.

Typical applications

  • holding a bracket on a closed section without a loose nut inside
  • selecting body hole and grip independently from the stud thread
  • using a blind-installed threaded point for repeat service removal
  • creating a projecting stud from the front side of sheet or tube
  • riveted pivots that must stay tight but still turn
  • permanent joints in thin sheet where a threaded fastener would loosen

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.

Where to use something else

  • Do not size the panel hole from the stud thread; the blind body controls the recommended hole.
  • Not for a joint that has to come apart in service — removal means drilling the rivet out.

Blind Rivet Nut Studs conform to Trade series (GESIPA standard blind rivet studs). As rivets, they are specified by the dimensions in the table below; this page also covers materials, finishes and typical uses.

What Are Blind Rivet Nut Studs?

Blind Rivet Nut Studs are rivets defined by Trade series (GESIPA standard blind rivet studs). 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), hardened or case-hardened steel where wear matters, and stainless steel A2 (304) or A4 (316) for corrosion resistance. Specify the material, hardness where relevant, and the surface finish appropriate to your application and environment.

Pricing

Blind Rivet Nut Studs are supplied to order. Pricing starts from approximately US$0.22 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.
