Round rivet nuts, also known as blind rivet nuts or nut-serts, are versatile fastening components designed to create a threaded hole in thin or hard-to-reach materials, providing a secure anchor for bolts or screws. These nuts feature a cylindrical body with internal threads and a headless design, allowing installation from one side of the material—ideal for applications where access is limited. Our company manufactures round rivet nuts using high-quality materials and precision cold-forming techniques, ensuring consistent thread quality and structural strength to meet the demands of diverse industries, from automotive to construction.
The manufacturing process of our round rivet nuts begins with selecting materials based on application requirements. Carbon steel with zinc plating is suitable for general purposes, stainless steel (304/316) offers corrosion resistance, and aluminum provides a lightweight solution. Cold-forming processes shape the nut body, creating a smooth internal thread and a pre-formed tail that deforms during installation to secure the nut in place. For enhanced corrosion protection, stainless steel rivet nuts may undergo passivation, while steel variants can receive additional coatings like black phosphate. Each nut is inspected for thread accuracy, body diameter, and tail integrity to ensure proper installation and load-bearing capacity.
Round rivet nuts excel in applications where traditional nuts and bolts are impractical, such as in thin metal sheets, plastic panels, or hollow structures. In automotive manufacturing, they secure interior trim, engine components, and body panels where access to the backside is limited. In construction, they fasten signage, HVAC ducts, and electrical boxes to metal frames. For aerospace and marine applications, our corrosion-resistant stainless steel or aluminum rivet nuts provide reliable fastening in harsh environments. We offer round rivet nuts in standard sizes (ranging from M3 to M12 and #4 to 1/2-20) and custom configurations to match regional industry standards and project-specific needs.
As a solutions-driven manufacturer, we specialize in custom round rivet nut designs. Clients can request unique materials (e.g., titanium for aerospace), specialized thread types (metric fine, UNC, UNF), or extended body lengths for thicker materials. We provide rivet nuts with flanged heads for increased bearing surface or with locking features—such as nylon inserts—to prevent loosening in vibrating environments. For OEMs and distributors, we offer custom packaging and logo embossing to enhance brand recognition. Our wholesale pricing ensures cost-effectiveness for large orders, while our global distribution network enables prompt delivery to customers across different continents, adhering to international quality standards like ISO 14580 and SAE J787.
Our round rivet nuts represent a reliable, efficient fastening solution for challenging applications, combining ease of installation with strong load-bearing capabilities. By choosing our products, engineers and manufacturers gain a versatile component that simplifies assembly and enhances product durability.
