KAPTI® Rivet - Captive nuts

Product catalog summary

Introduction
KAPTI® Rivet is a specialized rivet nut designed for creating screw joints in sheet metal components. It is particularly effective for use in thin steel or aluminum sheets, offering a permanent and loss-proof solution.

Joining Process
The process involves positioning the rivet nut and pre-punched component on a locating pin. A punch then presses the rivet nut into the component, deforming it around the pilot hole. The fastening section is formed by the die's contour, creating a secure joint.

Advantages

High economic efficiency through press-integrated processing.
No need for an exhaust system or thermal distortion of components.
Can be installed in coated components.
Flush with the component, avoiding interference contours.

Technical Properties

Available in sizes M5, M6, M8, M10.
Property class 8 with corrosion resistance as per customer requirements.
Suitable for sheet thicknesses from 0.7 mm to 2.5 mm.
Compatible with property class 8.8 screws.
Supports press-integrated and C-frame processing.

Item Overview
The document provides a detailed table listing various specifications for different thread sizes, including dimensions, sheet thickness, hole diameter, and setting force.

Joint Characteristics
The document outlines the push-out force, pull-out force, and torque for different thread sizes and sheet thicknesses, with values specified for steel DC01 components.

Additional Information
Special designs, surface coatings, treatments, and further property classes are available upon request. The Böllhoff Group offers innovative solutions for joining technology, with local partners available for support.
