An updated four-page "product guide and index" available from Atlas Engineering profiles the complete line of SpinTite and MaxTite threaded rivet nuts.
They can serve as a practical alternative to tapped holes, weld nuts, rivets, and self-drilling or tapping screws.
Type AES blind threaded steel studs are available in unified and metric thread sizes #6-32 through 3/8-16 and M4 through M10 and in lengths ranging from .500" through 1.088" and 12mm through 25.9mm.
The bulletin covers relevant specifications, performance data, and installation procedure.
Installed from the accessible "front" side of a workpiece, SpinTite blind threaded studs can be utilized in metal components as thin as .020"/0.51mm.
Their use eliminates any need for additional hardware beyond a mating nut to complete final component assembly.
The studs can be installed permanently even after finish utilizing a hand-held portable tool.
As an application benefit, the studs can serve as a locating element when joining two components.
Typical applications for the studs can include aircraft seat trays, automobile mirrors, electronics cabinetry hardware, and appliance hinges and handles, as well as closed-structure materials with minimum backside clearance, such as roll forms and tubing.
