Atlas Blind Threaded Inserts

ATLAS® Blind threaded inserts are designed to provide strong threads in thin panel sections. They are called “blind” because they can be installed from one side of the panel. Access to both sides is not required. This convenient feature makes these fasteners ideally suited for tubing, extrusion, and other similar types of applications.

Atlas Blind Threaded Inserts Installation Steps and Cross Section

There are four types: SpinTite®, ATLAS® FM™, MaxTite®, and Plus+Tite® fasteners.

The SpinTite® types are used for most applications where strong threads are required for blind applications. They are installed from one side using a spin-spin technique. In addition to high thread strength and torque-out, these fasteners have minimal inventory requirements since each size can accommodate many grip ranges (material thickness).

The ATLAS® FM™ inserts have metric threads and dimensions and install into metric size round or hex holes to meet European design standards. These inserts are installed using “spin-pull” or “pull-to-pressure” installation tools.

The heavy duty MaxTite® types are designed for the most demanding applications. They are installed from one side using “spin-pull” or “pull-to-pressure” installation tools.

The blind Plus+Tite® inserts feature a slotted body that folds into four petals upon installation, gripping the backside of the parent material. These inserts can be installed into single, variable, or multiple thickness materials.

Typical industries that use blind threaded rivet technology:

  • Appliances
  • Automobiles and accessories
  • Aviation and aerospace
  • Electronics
  • Food service equipment
  • Furniture/fixtures/signs
  • Industrial equipment
  • Lawn and garden equipment
  • Lighting
  • Marine/boating
  • Medical equipment
  • Military equipment
  • Recreational equipment
  • Trucks and trailers

Advantages of ATLAS® blind threaded inserts:

  • Provide strong permanent threads in thin material.
  • Can be installed quickly and easily in panel sections with limited or no access to the back side.
  • Can be installed in close-to-edge applications.
  • Allow easy attachment to panels of any hardness such as metal, plastics, and fiberglass.
  • Installed with light, compact, cost-effective tooling.
  • Can assemble multiple dissimilar materials during installation.
  • Can replace weld nuts, cage nuts, tapped holes, self-tapping screws, and traditional through-bolted applications with loose hardware.

Atlas Application Examples

Application considerations

  • Panel material is not limited by hardness or type, but hole location and thickness must fall within the grip range of the specified fastener.
  • Hole locations are important when it comes to clearance on both the front side and back side of the panel. Allow adequate room for the head of the fastener, the bulbed portion of the fastener, as well as access for your chosen installation tooling. Also allow enough depth behind the panel to accept the fastener prior to the installation process.

Mounting hole considerations

  • Mounting holes can be prepared in many ways, but must be within the tolerances specified in the catalog or on the drawing.
  • Methods of hole preparation include but are not limited to punching, drilling, milling, laser or water jet cutting, and casting. Also available are the portable RIV990 and RIV991 hex cutter tools, used to transform round holes into hexagonal holes.
  • Mounting holes do not necessarily need to be de-burred but must allow for the fastener to seat properly and maintain position or perpendicularity when installed.

Picking the insert

  • Round vs. Hex - For many applications a round insert such as the AEL or AEK series parts will suffice. Properly installed, these inserts will provide all the necessary spin out resistance. In critical applications, a hex hole may be desired as insurance against spin out. The RIV990 or RIV991 hex cutter tool can be used to create a hex hole in tubing.
  • Tooling is only available for creating holes for the ATLAS® FM™ inserts.
  • Plating - ATLAS inserts are available in a variety of platings. For normal applications, the standard zinc yellow or zinc clear is adequate. All ATLAS zinc platings are RoHS and REACH compliant. For more extreme environments, the use of zinc nickel or tin zinc coatings may be desired. These coatings are rated for 1,000 hours salt spray protection per ASTM B117.
  • Watertight - For applications on the exterior of vehicles or electronic cabinets that will be used outdoors, a PVC or Rimlex® (high temperature) sealant can be added under the head of the fastener. Normally a closed end insert is used for these applications. In most normal conditions this combination will provide a watertight or air tight seal. Sealant under head can reduce the effective grip range of the insert by 0.020" - 0.030" (0.5 - 0.76 mm).
  • Stud - Inserts that have a male thread are available. These inserts are useful when used to mount a plate or cover that can be hung over the studs for ease of assembly.
  • Stainless Steel - For extreme environments, the use of stainless steel may be required. All MaxTite® inserts are available in both 316 Stainless Steel and 430 Stainless Steel. While our SpinTite® parts can be manufactured in Stainless Steel, we recommend that the ATLAS FM™ designs be used for commercial applications since the body sizes are slightly smaller in diameter. This simplifies manufacturing and can dramatically decrease the piece price.
  • Thread Considerations - Our catalog shows the most popular thread sizes. Even if not shown, other sizes are available such as 10-24, ¼-28 and 3/8-24. Minimum order quantities may apply.
  • SpinTite®, Plus+Tite® and ATLAS® FM™ are Unified 2B and Metric 6H thread classes. MaxTite parts are Unified 3B and Metric 6H. Our fastener threads are compliant with these classes before they are installed but dependent upon the condition of the mandrel and the tool pressure and/ or other application considerations could have adverse reactions to the after installed condition and gaugeability of the threads.
  • AET and AEW Swaging Inserts are tapped oversized to compensate for thread portion shrinkage during the installation process. They are not gaugeable prior to or after installation but will be compatible with Class 2A or 3A or Metric 6g screws after installation.
  • Insert removal – Sometimes the insert has to be removed after it is installed for variety of reasons. When removal is required, the best method is to remove the fastener head. This can be accomplished by using an oversized drill bit and gently drilling into the counterbore until the head is removed. Then the body of the insert can be pushed through the mating material. Using a grinding wheel to carefully remove the head is another option.

 

Installation Tooling

  • Spin-spin – These tools work by running the mandrel into the insert until the air motor stalls. The rpm of the tool needs to be matched to the size of the insert. See the ATLAS tool selector guide for recommended tool models and air pressures. An air pressure regulator is always recommended.
  • Spin-pull – These tools use a small air motor to place the insert on the mandrel. Insert the fastener into the mating hole and pull the trigger. The tool will axially pull the mandrel back to a pre-adjusted distance and then the air motor engages in reverse to complete the installation.
  • Pull-to-pressure – Similar to spin-pull but with the addition of a pressure transducer that when adjusted properly, will sense the correct fastener installation and then complete the cycle. These tools are state-of-the-art for insert installation tools as they can properly install inserts across the full grip range quickly and consistently.

As with all air tools, the correct air pressure is critical to proper operation. Air pressure regulators are always recommended. 90-100 psi is the recommended maximum pressure for all tools. Please see the ATLAS catalog for recommended air pressures for our spinspin tools. The spin-pull and pull-to-pressure tools should always be operated in the range of 85-100 psi.

Air tools in a manufacturing environment will wear and need repair from time to time.

ATLAS tools have a one-year warranty for manufacturing defects. Parts and labor are covered.

When a very large number of inserts need to be installed repetitively, the use of robotics or automation may be necessary. Please contact us to discuss the application details and possible custom solutions.

 

Mating part/bolts

Installation holes for ATLAS blind rivet nuts should be aligned to parent material to ensure a uniform backside formation. The hole size should meet the product tolerance and specification. The mating part should contact the head of the blind rivet nut to ensure optimum torque performance of the joint.

The mating screw should be Grade 5 or Metric Class 8.8 strength. ATLAS blind rivet nuts are designed to meet the torque, tensile and clamp load of the mating fasteners. Thread fit may be 2A, 3A or Metric 6G design. The mating screw thread length should engage all threads of the blind rivet nut to ensure optimum torque strength.

If an application requires a mating screw with a nylon patch, adhesive, or other thread locking mechanism, a hex body blind rivet nut in a hex hole will be needed to resist the prevailing torque created by the locking mechanism.

MaxTite® PERFORMANCE DATA

TORQUE STRENGTH DATA - TORQUE-AXIAL LOAD RELATIONSHIP

When used with a non-rotating mating part, these fasteners may be safely loaded to a torque equivalent of their maximum upset loads. Surpassing these loads will cause the screw to break, or the fastener will continue to upset until ultimate strip load is attained.

Because of the many variables such as type of lubrication, plating, type and grade of screw or bolt, it is recommended that a pilot test be conducted to determine the optimum application torque.
