What is the thread size of this rivet nut?
The internal thread size of the M8 1.25 rivet nut is M8, with a 1.25mm thread pitch. This means it is designed to fit M8 bolts with a 1.25mm pitch. The M8 thread is commonly used in automotive, machinery, and heavy-duty applications, offering a balanced combination of strength and versatility.
What is the minimum material thickness required for installation?
The minimum material thickness for installing this rivet nut is generally 0.5mm, but for optimal performance, it is recommended to use materials with a thickness of 1.0mm or above. Thicker materials will ensure a better grip and stronger fastening, especially for applications that require more load-bearing capacity. For instance, materials thinner than 0.5mm may not provide enough surface area for the knurling to hold firmly, reducing the rivet nut’s reliability.
Is this rivet nut reusable after installation?
While the M8 1.25 rivet nut remains permanently fixed in the material once installed, the threaded insert itself is reusable. The rivet nut provides a durable threaded hole, allowing bolts or screws to be installed and removed multiple times without compromising the integrity of the base material.
What is the required hole size for installation?
The recommended hole size for installing the M8 1.25 rivet nut is typically 11.1mm in diameter. This ensures a proper fit for the rivet nut body, allowing the knurled sections to expand effectively and secure the nut in place. It’s essential to refer to specific product datasheets for precise hole size specifications as minor variations may exist depending on the manufacturer.
Can I use this rivet nut for blind applications?
Yes, the M8 1.25 rivet nut is designed for blind hole applications, meaning it can be installed from one side of the material without access to the opposite side.
What torque rating does it support?
The M8 1.25 rivet nut can generally handle a torque resistance in the range of 10-15 Nm, depending on the material and installation conditions. This torque resistance makes it suitable for moderate to high-load applications such as automotive, heavy machinery, and structural components.
