What is the difference between self-clinching nuts and rivet nuts?
The self-clinching nut is like this:
And the rivet nut looks like this:
Although it is also applied to sheet metal and cabinets, it is obvious that in addition to the length of the picture above, they are completely different, and there are many aspects that are different:
First of all, the installation method is different. The self-clinching nut is pressed into the plate, and its installation method is like this:
The installation of the rivet nut is as follows:
Secondly.The application environment of the self-clinching nut and the rivet nut is not quite the same, the self-clinching nut is applied to the plate that is a little thick, roughly 0.8MM~2.3MM board, specifically visible in this table, the minimum plate thickness in the table is the corresponding plate thickness, that is, the minimum plate thickness, does not mean that it is larger than this reference infinity, simply put, it cannot be too much larger than a data:
The corresponding plate of the rivet nut, thick point thin point, it can be adapted to a wide range of much, the following is a more typical GB17880.1 flat head rivet nut reference table, the riveting thickness in the table refers to the thickness of the plate:
Thirdly, their installation tools are also different, the above animation has shown more clearly, the self-clinching nuts is pressed into the press riveting machine, and the rivet nut is installed with the pull riveting gun.
