Atlas Rivet Nut Power Tools

Atlas offers a variety of pneumatic installation tools. The Rivet Nut, Power Tools come in three basic types: Spin-Spin, Pull-to-Stroke and Pull-to-Pressure. The Spin-Spin tool works by running the mandrel into the rivet nut until the motor stalls. The rpm on the tool needs to be adjusted to the size of the rivet nut. The Spin-Spin tools are designed to upset the SpinTite® thin wall rivet nuts. The Pull-to-Stroke or Spin-Pull tool uses a small air motor to place the rivet nut on the mandrel. The rivet nut is then inserted into the mating hole and the trigger is pulled. The tool will axially pull the mandrel back to a pre-adjusted distance, upsetting the rivet nut. The air motor then engages in reverse to disengage and complete the installation. The Pull-to-Pressure tool is similar to the Pull-to-Stroke tool but with the addition of a pressure transducer that will sense the correct fastener installation and complete the installation cycle. These tools can install rivet nuts across the full grip range quickly and consistently. The installation method, maximum pull force and thread size for each power tool is as follows:
