SPECIAL FOCUS MECHANICAL COMPONENTS THREADED FASTENER SOLUTIONS
Today, around 430 special types of Blind Rivet Nuts and 30 different varieties of Rivet Nut Studs are manufactured at GESIPA’s UK manufacturing facility. This is to be further enhanced with the capabilities of new Blind Rivet Nut machines, which are now lined up in corporate blue and yellow colours and are producing Blind Rivet Nuts and Rivet Nut Studs from thread sizes M4 up to M10. Manufacturing with variations such as hexagonal body (giving higher
torque to turn), square body (to form a secure lock), profile body (giving a pivot point), wedge head (to provide higher torque to turn in softer materials) and large flange (providing larger load baring surfaces), there is always a possible variant available to fit specific customer application requirements. A similar bespoke blind rivet nut manufactured for one of its customers was a recent success for GESIPA. To stop the mating part from turning when set in a body-in white component, a blind rivet nut with splined wedges on top of the rivet nut head was designed and manufactured by the team. Not only this, but to prevent these splined wedges getting damaged when setting into the application, a special nosepiece was also designed by GESIPA to be used with the rivet nut setting tool. This was all achieved as a result of high efficiency and capacity
of the Rivet Nut and Nut Stud facility in the UK. GESIPA UK now produces approximately 12 million Rivet Nuts and Nut Studs per month and is well equipped to serve different industries supporting various applications across the globe.
