Although there is only a one word difference between Rivet Nuts and pull rivet nuts, there is a clear difference in their use.
1. Rivet Nut (pressed in nut): A rivet nut is a type of nut that is fixed to a workpiece by pressing or fitting. It is usually made of metal materials and has one or more threaded holes for threaded connections. Rivet nuts are suitable for situations where threaded connections need to be formed on the workpiece, such as creating threaded holes on thin sheets, plastics, or composite materials, and providing reliable threaded connection points by pressing nuts.
2. Rivet nut (rivet bolt): A rivet nut is a type of nut that is fixed to a workpiece by riveting a bolt. It is usually made of metal materials and has one or more threaded holes for threaded connections. Rivet nuts are suitable for situations where threaded connections need to be formed on the workpiece, such as creating threaded holes on thin plates or other materials, and providing reliable threaded connection points through rivet bolts. Both rivet nuts and pull rivet nuts are nuts used to form threaded connections on workpieces, but their fixing methods are different. The rivet nut is fixed by pressing in, while the rivet nut is fixed by pulling the rivet bolt. The specific choice of method depends on factors such as application requirements, workpiece materials, and connection requirements.
