What’s unique about Optisert is the proprietary combination of an engineered knurled body and underhead wedge design. This gives the rivet nut superior grip to avoid it from easily spinning in the base material. Its strength to avoid it from spinning out is almost as great as using a hexagonal body rivet nut. The spin-out performance of an M6 Optisert in 3mm thick aluminum has been tested at 18.52 Nm. Similar wedged, round body rivet nuts installed in aluminum material have a spin-out test of 12.8, a 44% performance improvement.

The patent-pending closed-end design provides a sealed option that does not compromise the biting effect of the wedges, delivering superior performance to other round-body, closed-end rivet nuts in the market.

Optisert will improve the quality of the applications that the fastener goes into because the increase in spin-out and pull-out performance.

Ideal applications for Optisert include softer materials like aluminum, composite, fiberglass, plastic. This new round body fastener is already being used in the automotive, electric vehicle, and heavy truck industries.

The standard Optisert is available in a variety of options, including open-end, closed-end, and in a variety of different coatings.
