Key Benefits of AVK
Single-Side "Blind" Access
Installs quickly from one side of the workpiece, eliminating the need for backside access, tapped holes, or weld nuts.
Superior Spin-Out & Push-Out Resistance
Precision knurls, hex bodies, and controlled expansion profiles deliver maximum resistance against torque-out and joint failure.
Post-Finish Application Friendly
Can be installed after painting, plating, or coating without damaging surface finishes or requiring thread re-tapping.
Broad Material Compatibility
Performs reliably in thin sheet metal, tubing, extrusions, plastics, composites, and fiberglass.
Cold-Formed Structural Integrity
High-speed cold-heading processes preserve grain flow for enhanced fatigue strength and long-term connection durability.
Automated & Ergonomic Tooling Support
Compatible with pneumatic, hydraulic, and portable battery installation tools utilizing "spin-pull to pressure" technology for rapid cycle times.
Product Types
Flat & Low-Profile Threaded Inserts
Versatile rivet nuts providing strong internal threads in punched or drilled holes, featuring flat head or near-flush low-profile head options.
Hexagonal & Heavy-Duty Inserts
Full and half-hex body inserts engineered for hex holes to provide complete torque-out prevention and handle heavy push-out loads.
Blind Threaded Studs
Captive male-threaded studs installed blindly from the front side, creating high-strength external mounting posts on thin assemblies.
Slotted Body & High-Grip Inserts
Pre-bulbed, slotted body fasteners tailored for soft materials, plastics, and thin gauge sheet metals needing broad load distribution and low backside clearance.
Specialty & Composite Fasteners
Advanced AVK fastening products including compression limiters and composite inserts designed to protect delicate plastic and composite joints from clamp-load crushing.
