Rivet Nut Grip Range and Panel Thickness for Battery Trays

Rivet Nut Grip Range and Panel Thickness for Battery Trays

Why Correct Grip Range Matters

Grip range is one of the most important specifications when selecting a rivet nut for an EV battery tray.

Grip range defines the material thickness the rivet nut is designed to accommodate.

What Is Grip Range?

The grip range is the specified material thickness range within which the rivet nut can be properly installed.

For example, a rivet nut designed for a specific thin-wall application may have a different grip range from one intended for thicker structural panels.

Why Incorrect Grip Range Causes Problems

If the panel is too thin, the rivet nut may not form correctly.

If the panel is too thick, the fastener may fail to develop the intended rear-side deformation.

Potential issues include:

• Poor retention

• Spin-out

• Insufficient clamp

• Installation deformation

• Thread misalignment

Aluminum Battery Tray Considerations

Aluminum battery trays may contain:

• Single sheet panels

• Extruded sections

• Reinforced areas

• Multi-layer structures

The actual installation area should be measured before selecting the insert.

Installation Tolerance

Production variation must also be considered.

A nominal 2.0 mm panel may have a manufacturing tolerance that affects the required grip range.

Grip Range and Sealing

For sealed rivet nuts, grip range can also influence the sealing interface.

The flange and panel must achieve consistent contact.

This is particularly important for high-volume EV battery production.

Recommended Engineering Data

Before selecting the rivet nut, provide:

• Panel thickness

• Material

• Hole diameter

• Thread size

• Required torque

• Sealing requirement

• Installation method
