Tonawanda, NY – Sherex Fastening Solutions has introduced the next generation of fastening technology; a patent pending rivet nut with internally floating threads called RIVFLOAT™.
Cross Section of RIV-FLOAT™ installed
The internally floating threads on RIVFLOAT™ allow for component attachments in off center applications and can accommodate for tolerance stack up in the manufacturing process. The floating nut (.020” radial float) aligns to drive the angle of the screw and thus eliminates cross threading and spin out. RIVFLOAT™ was designed for post installation in applications where cage nuts, clinch nuts, floating nut plates or weld nuts are typically used.
