Riveting nut column vs. traditional nut fixing method: which is more suitable for your application?

Release Date:2025-09-20 Visits:80

Riveted nut column and traditional nut fixing method are two common connecting elements, which have their own advantages and applicability in different application scenarios. This paper will compare these two fixing methods from several aspects to help readers choose the method suitable for their own application.

First, let's look at the riveted nut column. Riveting nut column is a connecting element that fixes the nut on the workpiece through riveting process. It has the following advantages: firstly, the rivet nut column can be fixed without back operation, which is very useful in some narrow spaces or scenes where back operation is impossible. Secondly, the pressure riveting nut column can provide higher fixing strength, because it closely connects the nut with the workpiece through the pressure riveting process, avoiding the possible loosening problem in the traditional nut fixing method. In addition, the rivet nut column can also provide better anti-loosening performance, because its fixing method is more firm and reliable.

However, the rivet nut column also has some limitations. First of all, the installation of riveting nut columns requires special riveting equipment, which increases some costs and technological requirements. Secondly, it is relatively difficult to remove and replace the rivet nut columns because they are closely connected with the workpiece. Therefore, in some scenes that need frequent disassembly and replacement, the traditional nut fixing method may be more suitable.

Next, let's look at the traditional nut fixing method. The traditional nut fixing method is to realize the connection by screwing the nut on the workpiece. It has the following advantages: firstly, the traditional nut fixing method is simple and convenient to install without special equipment. Secondly, the traditional nut fixing method is relatively easy to disassemble and replace, just unscrew the nut. In addition, the traditional nut fixing method has low cost and is suitable for some scenes with high cost requirements.

However, there are some problems in the traditional nut fixing method. First of all, the traditional nut fixing method is prone to looseness, especially in vibration environment. This may cause the connection to fail or require frequent re-fastening. Secondly, the fixing strength of traditional nut fixing method is relatively low, which can not meet some scenes with high strength requirements.

To sum up, the rivet nut column and the traditional nut fixing method have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are suitable for different application scenarios. If your application scenario requires high fixed strength and locking performance, and can accept some cost and process requirements, then the riveted nut column may be more suitable for you. If your application scenario requires high cost and requires frequent disassembly and replacement, then the traditional nut fixing method may be more suitable for you. When choosing, you can also consider other factors, such as installation space, use environment, etc. It is more important to choose the fixing method suitable for your own application.
