What Are Custom Blind Rivet Nuts and Studs?

Blind rivet nuts and studs are threaded fastening components designed to be installed from one accessible side of a component.

Unlike conventional nuts that require access to the rear side of the workpiece, a blind rivet nut creates a threaded connection within the parent component through controlled deformation of the fastener body.

A blind rivet stud provides a fixed external threaded stud after installation.

This fastening principle is particularly useful for:

  • Thin sheet metal

  • Closed profiles

  • Automotive components

  • Plastic molded parts

  • Electrical and electronic housings

  • Enclosures

  • Brackets

  • Composite or lightweight components

  • Assemblies with restricted rear access

For OEM applications, the geometry of the fastener can be modified to address specific requirements for sealing, anti-rotation, load distribution, corrosion resistance, installation, and dimensional control.

With knurls on the body and under the extra-large head, this fastening improves mechanical properties in soft workpieces.

Guarantees the best match of blind rivet nuts to plastic workpieces. Zinc-nickel surface treatment provides optimum corrosion resistance.

Juxin Fasteners develops automotive blind rivet nuts and studs for application-specific requirements such as:

  • Body components

  • Interior assemblies

  • Seat components

  • Safety-related fastening applications

  • Trim components

  • Brackets

  • Plastic molded components

  • Automotive enclosures

  • Electrical assemblies

  • Fluid-related components

Automotive Fastening Solution

For automotive applications, the rivet nut or stud can be designed around the required thread, installation geometry, anti-rotation performance, corrosion protection, sealing requirements, and available assembly space.

Where required, zinc-nickel surface treatment can be considered for enhanced corrosion protection.


 

Benefits:

● Huge flange diameters possible

● Deformation area for length adjustment of the insert; close length tolerances < L ± 0.05 mm

● Torque resistance by hexagonal design or knurls

● Pull out resistance by providing significant undercuts

Sealed Blind Rivet Nuts for Gas- and Water-Tight Applications

Some applications require a threaded fastening point while also controlling the passage of water, gas, liquids, dust, or other environmental contaminants.

Juxin Fasteners provides closed-end blind rivet nuts with integrated sealing features for applications requiring sealed threaded connections.

The seal can be positioned in a groove beneath the fastener head.

Depending on the application, sealing requirements can be evaluated against the specified environmental conditions, including temperature and exposure to the relevant medium.

For applications where a specified ingress protection level is required, the complete assembly should be validated against the applicable customer and system requirements.


Blind rivet nuts and studs for the automotive industry


Embedded Seal Design

An embedded or molded captive seal can provide a controlled sealing interface between the fastener head and the parent component.

Compared with a conventional loose O-ring arrangement, an integrated seal can simplify component handling and assembly.

Potential advantages include:

  • Captive sealing element

  • Controlled seal positioning

  • Improved assembly consistency

  • Reduced risk of loose seal components

  • Integration with the fastener head

  • Suitability for application-specific sealing requirements

This design can be considered for automotive components such as car boot hinges and other assemblies requiring a sealed threaded fastening point.

Closed-End Blind Rivet Nuts

A closed-end blind rivet nut provides a threaded fastening point while incorporating a closed rear end.

Closed-end designs can be evaluated where the application requires separation between the threaded cavity and the opposite side of the component.

Typical application considerations include:

  • Moisture exposure

  • Fluid exposure

  • Dust protection

  • Enclosed assemblies

  • Automotive components

  • Electrical equipment

  • Sealed housings

The complete joint design should always be evaluated when a gas- or water-tight connection is required.

Anti-Rotation Blind Rivet Nuts for High Torque Applications

One of the most important design considerations for a blind rivet nut is resistance to rotation during screw installation and service.

Juxin Fasteners can provide hexagonal body designs, knurled bodies, ribs, and under-head features to increase mechanical engagement with the parent material.

These features are particularly useful for:

  • Soft materials

  • Plastic components

  • Sheet metal

  • Molded parts

  • Automotive components

  • Industrial equipment

Hexagonal Body

A hexagonal body provides mechanical engagement with the surrounding hole and can improve resistance to rotation.

Knurled Body

Knurled or ribbed body configurations can provide additional mechanical engagement, particularly in softer workpieces.

Ribs Under the Head

Ribs beneath an enlarged head can improve mechanical interlocking between the fastener and the parent material.

The correct geometry should be selected according to the parent material, hole design, installation process, required torque resistance, and expected service loads.

Blind Rivet Nuts for Plastic Molded Components

Plastic components can present different fastening challenges compared with steel or aluminum sheet metal.

Directly forming threads in a molded plastic component may not provide the required durability for repeated assembly and disassembly.

Custom blind rivet nuts and molded inserts can provide a dedicated threaded connection while improving mechanical engagement with the plastic substrate.

Juxin Fasteners can develop fasteners featuring:

  • Knurled bodies

  • Ribs beneath the head

  • Large flange diameters

  • Undercut geometries

  • Customized lengths

  • Application-specific head configurations

These designs can improve the mechanical connection between the threaded insert and plastic workpiece.

Plastic Fastening Solution

For plastic components, the insert geometry should be selected according to the plastic material, mold design, hole configuration, installation process, required torque, and expected axial loading.

Large Flange Blind Rivet Nuts for Load Distribution

A standard fastener head may not always provide the required bearing area for a soft or lightweight substrate.

For these applications, large flange blind rivet nuts can increase the bearing area beneath the head.

Potential advantages include:

  • Increased load distribution

  • Reduced localized stress

  • Improved engagement with soft materials

  • Greater design flexibility

  • Compatibility with customized component geometries

Large flange configurations can be particularly useful in plastic and lightweight components.

The appropriate flange diameter should be determined according to the parent material, component geometry, available space, and required mechanical performance.

Double-Flange Blind Rivet Nuts and Threaded Inserts

Juxin Fasteners can provide double-flange and application-specific insert designs for applications requiring enhanced mechanical engagement and controlled dimensional performance.

Double-flange configurations can provide:

  • Improved anti-rotation performance

  • Enhanced clamping

  • Increased load distribution

  • Controlled insertion

  • Repeatable positioning in high-volume production

Steel versions can be produced through cold forming, with the component geometry adapted to the required application.

For specified designs, component length can be controlled according to the required mold or assembly dimensions.

Where applicable, production tolerances can be developed according to the customer's drawing and technical specification.

Blind Rivet Nuts with Adjustable Deformation Areas

Some application-specific inserts use a deformation area that allows the installed length or engagement geometry to accommodate the dimensions of the surrounding component or mold.

This approach can provide greater flexibility when the insert is integrated into molded or formed components.

Potential benefits include:

  • Application-specific length adjustment

  • Improved adaptation to component geometry

  • Controlled installation

  • Reduced need for additional machining

  • Integration with molded components

This can be especially useful for plastic molded components and complex OEM assemblies.

No Metal-Cutting Installation

One advantage of blind rivet nut installation is that it creates a threaded fastening point without requiring a conventional metal-cutting threading operation in the parent component.

This can simplify the manufacturing process where the parent component is:

  • Thin sheet metal

  • Plastic

  • Lightweight material

  • Enclosed

  • Difficult to machine after forming

The fastening method can therefore be incorporated into an assembly process where conventional tapping or rear-side nut installation would be difficult.

Custom Blind Rivet Nuts for Electronics and Electrical Equipment

Electronics and electrical assemblies often require compact threaded fastening points in housings, panels, brackets, and molded components.

Custom rivet nuts and threaded inserts can be developed for:

  • Electronic housings

  • Electrical enclosures

  • Control equipment

  • Communication equipment

  • Cable management components

  • Mounting brackets

  • Plastic housings

  • Instrumentation equipment

Engineering considerations may include:

  • Available installation space

  • Thread size

  • Component material

  • Wall thickness

  • Torque requirements

  • Anti-rotation requirements

  • Corrosion environment

  • Assembly method

Electronics Fastening Solution

Application-specific blind rivet nuts can provide repeatable threaded mounting points while reducing the need for conventional rear-side nuts or additional machining.

Custom Fasteners for Industrial Applications
