Introduction to Lantern Rivet Nut
The Lantern Rivet Nut, also known as the lantern-shaped blind rivet nut, is a common fastening connection component. The following is a detailed introduction:
Structural Features: It usually has a hollow structure and its appearance is similar to a lantern. One end of it has threads, which are used to cooperate with bolts; the other end will deform during installation to achieve the fastening effect. Some Lantern Rivet Nuts have slots on their surfaces, generally four in number. The existence of these slots makes the nut easier to deform and expand when subjected to force.
Materials and Surface Treatments: Commonly used materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. Lantern Rivet Nuts made of carbon steel have high strength and relatively low cost; those made of stainless steel have good corrosion resistance and are suitable for harsh environments; aluminum alloy ones are lightweight and are often used in situations where weight requirements are strict. In order to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetics, Lantern Rivet Nuts are usually subjected to surface treatments such as galvanizing, nickel plating, and chrome plating.
Working Principle: A pulling force is applied to the Lantern Rivet Nut through a blind riveting tool, causing the slotted part at its tail to be stressed and expand, closely adhering to the surface of the connected component. Then, a bolt is screwed into the threaded hole of the Lantern Rivet Nut, thus achieving the fastening connection of two or more components.
Application Fields: It is widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronic equipment, and furniture assembly. For example, in automotive manufacturing, it is used for the connection between body panels; in the aerospace field, it can be used for the connection of aircraft interior components or some structural components, which can not only ensure the connection strength but also reduce the weight.
Advantages: The riveting is firm and can provide reliable fastening force; there is no need to tap internal threads on the connected components, which can avoid problems such as thread stripping caused by tapping, improving the reliability and efficiency of the connection; it is suitable for the connection of various metal plates, pipes, etc., and has strong adaptability to the thickness and material of the connected components.
