We get calls and emails often with one request – “Do you have any Palnuts?.” The answer is yes we do have Palnuts! Here are the Top 5 Push-On Fasteners (Palnuts) for Studs.
Palnut Push-On Type Nuts provide lightning-fast attachments as they zip down over integral studs, rivets, tubing, nails and other unthreaded parts.
They are easy to use. Push-Ons or Push Nuts keeps panels attached as they take a positive bite on metal, plastic or wood, and grip securely even on very smooth, hard surfaces. They eliminate warranty issues caused by vibration loosening and don’t require tools – eliminating time-consuming assembly operations.
Push-Ons are made of quality carbon spring steel that is heat treated for a long, dependable service life at a minimum of assembly cost. With a small profile and lightweight design, they are ideal for small electronic and mechanical devices. They eliminate the need for machined screws and weld nuts, and provide a secure, vibration-proof fastening solution.
How to Apply Stud Retaining Push-Ons:
Applying Push-On Type Nuts is easy. You can simply press them into place with your fingers, or use a hand tool to zip them on. They can be used as free parts which are pressed over the shaft, stud or rod ends, or they can be used as captive parts when retained on a panel in a stud-receiving position.
It’s simple: whether the fastener is applied to the work, or the work is applied to the fastener, the method is simply to position the two in square alignment and zip them into locked position.
