BRASS INSERTS 

 

Brass inserts from Sherex Fastening Solutions are designed to provide a 
threaded hole in plastics that are not strong enough to support a thread. 
Brass inserts are available in many options such as ultrasonic, press-in, 
flanged and molded-in. These inserts have a self aligning lead for accurate 
installation and can be easily mounted. Suitable industry applications 
include: automotive, communication and computer equipment, or almost 
anywhere strong, durable threads are required in plastics.

 

Blind rivet nuts are suitable for providing load-bearing threads in thin 
materials & blind applications. Sherex Fastening Solutions offers the 
most comprehensive line of blind rivet nuts from thin wall parts to heavy 
duty. Rivet Nuts are available in both an Inch Body Style & Metric Body 
Style. Special designs are available to meet customer specific needs.

 

Sherex combines world class fastener manufacturing and design 
capability with industry leading automation equipment to offer the best 
solution for your application. This “One Source” service ensures that 
you are receiving the best support before and after the start of 
production. Whether you are using 10,000 pieces or 10 million pieces, 
Sherex offers different levels of automation and fastener capability to 
meet both your budget and performance requirements.

 

Sherex offers three different kinds of clinch nuts to meet the specific 
requirements of the customer’s application. Sherex clinch nuts can be 
used in various high strength steels such as dual phase alloy, HSLA, and 
TRIPS to meet class 10 nut strength requirements. Sherex clinch nuts can 
be used in any material that offers access from both sides of the base 
material.  

RIV-FLOAT® 

Internally Floating Threads 

RIV-FLOAT® is the next generation of fastening technology. Internally 
floating threads allow for component attachment in off-center applications. 
RIV-FLOAT® was designed for post finish installation in applications where 
cage nuts, clinch nuts, floating nut plates or weld nuts are typically used. By 
aligning to the drive angle of the screw, RIV-FLOAT® accounts for tolerance 
stack up, saving rework of components and downtime associated with 
stripped or cross threaded fasteners. RIV-FLOAT®-SHORT is available for 
applications requiring backside clearance similar to that of various riveted 
nut plates and cage nuts.
