One-sided account of blind threaded
rivets
A complete line of SpinTite, MaxTite and PlusTite blind threaded rivets is available from Atlas Engineering for use in "blind" attachment applications.
A complete line of SpinTite, MaxTite and PlusTite blind threaded rivets is available from Atlas Engineering for use in "blind" attachment applications, where only one side of a workpiece is accessible for fastener installation and final component assembly These aluminium, brass, steel or stainless steel fasteners can satisfy countless attachment applications ranging from aircraft seat trays and automobile mirrors to electronics cabinetry hardware and appliance hinges, as well as closed-structure materials with minimum backside clearance, such as hydroformed tubing

The Atlas robotic assembly system can be used to install SpinTite, MaxTite and PlusTite blind threaded rivets reliably and quickly.
Installed from the accessible "front" side of a component, Atlas blind threaded rivets in a wide range of thread sizes can provide strong permanent metal threads in metal or plastic sheets as thin as 0.25mm.
Their use eliminates any additional hardware beyond a mating screw to complete component assembly.
Unlike weld nuts or press-in type nuts, they can be installed permanently anywhere in the shop or in the field (even after product finish is applied).
