            <title>RoHS-Compliant Rivet Nuts help resolve alignment issues.</title>
            <link>http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/RoHS-Compliant-Rivet-Nuts-help-resolve-alignment-issues-615256</link>
            <description>
Facilitating accurate attachment of components in off center applications, RIV-FLOAT&amp;#174;-SHORT rivet nuts allow manufacturers to account for tolerance stack up and resolve alignment issues during product assembly. Knurls increase spin out resistance in soft materials, and design allows installation from front side of work piece. Fastening technology is designed for post installation in applications where cage nuts, clinch nuts, floating nut plates, or weld nuts are typically used.

            <description>
Offered in 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16 in. diameters, Grip Tite&amp;#174; Rivets come in range of steel bodies and steel mandrels with domed and large flange head configurations. Units have extended secondary side footprint for high-strength applications, with shear strengths from 326-696 lb, depending on rivet diameter, and tensile strengths from 382-764 lb. With anti-rattle properties, rivets are appropriate for fastening thick to thin material stack-ups and composite-to-metal material combinations.

            <description>
Characterized by wide grip range, POP&amp;#174; LS Rivet is designed to set in tri-fold configuration, which separates into 3 legged sections to ensure secure joint. Mandrel head is contained within rivet body, eliminating rattling joints. Set creates large secondary head formation that will evenly distribute load, which is key in preventing material damage, pull-through, or rivet failure.
