Rivetless Nut Plate

The new Cherry® Rivetless Nut Plate, which replaces standard riveted nut plates, features a retainer that does not require flaring to meet NASM25027 torque-out and push-out requirements. This eliminates the need for two additional rivet holes, as well as reaming, counterboring and countersinking steps.

Uniform expansion of the sleeve during installation enhances fatigue life of the parent material, and an extended grip range helps reduce part numbers and inventory.
