I used them when building up the enclosures for the vfd drives for my mills and lathes....Makes attaching everything so much easier....and easier to dismount parts if the need arises.. :coffee: --- End quote --- What I've been referring to as Hank Bushes are indeed the same a Rivinuts - seem to work OK if you get the hole sizes correct ! Googling tells me real hank bushes are pressed in from the rear of the panel with a press, whereas mine are set rather like a pop rivet from the front. |
| Pete.:
I installed a great many hank bushes as an 'apprentice' sheet metalworker assembling light boxes for a big contract. Popped them in the hole and set them with a small ball pein hammer. |

I never heard of them before I had to look them up. |

Pretty much all good ones needs accurate (reamed hole) and assembly with press to give any good service http://www.captive-fastener.com/Catalog/Recommended%20Installation%20Procedure.pdf But it is not diffct to asemble them right - if you have press and can make the anvil. |
| Muzzerboy:
Pekka - what you are describing is different to the Rivinut / rivnut / rivet nut everyone else is talking about. Your product is a solid insert that is NOT deformed itself during insertion, whereas the rivet nut is held in place by deformation of the insert by the tool. In my multi-decade experience of these parts, the market leader (and originator) is PEM (Penn Engineering) https://www.pemnet.com/fastening-products/pem-self-clinching-fasteners-new/. In fact, if you look closely at the Captive Fastener online catalogue, you will see that the product design copyrights are actually owned by PEM. |
