Rivnuts

1.Installs cleanly without damaging parent material and finish

2. Assemble two materials together

3. Environmentally friendly

4. Use in metals, plastics and fiberglass

A rivnut, also known as a rivet nut, blind nut or nut-sert is a one-piece internally threaded tubular insert that can be anchored entirely from one side. There are two types: one is designed to form a bulge on the back side of the panel as a screw is tightened in its threads. The other is similarly drawn in using a screw, but is drawn into the sleeve instead of creating a bulge.

The first rivet nut was created by BF Goodrich in the 1930s and was used to mount rubber de-icing boots to aircraft wings.

Today rivnuts are produced by Bollhoff and are used in various applications worldwide.

Hello from Technology Components!

Yesterday, Amazon announced it launched Amazon Supply (or AmazonSupply, depending on which branding is used), a new B2B marketplace clearinghouse for industrial and MRO parts and related SKUs. The announcement describes Amazon Supply as “a new website dedicated to offering a broad selection of parts and supplies to business, industrial, scientific and commercial customers at competitive prices.” According to the press release, Amazon Supply “currently offers more than 500,000 items from leading brands” across a range of categories, including: lab & scientific, test, measure & inspect, occupational health & safety, janitorial & sanitation, office, fleet & vehicle maintenance, power & hand tools, cutting tools, abrasives & finishing, materials handling, materials (e.g., metals), hydraulics pneumatics & plumbing, fasteners and power transmission.

Shipping costs are clearly bundled into total costs as “eligible orders $50 or more receive free two-day shipping.” Moreover, it appears that Amazon has cloned — potentially improved — its B2B customer service experience providing, in their words, “free 365 day returns” and a “dedicated customer service center.” They even offer their own financing through corporate lines of credit, a potentially high margin business.

The announcement undoubtedly builds off the acquisition of Small Parts, Inc. (which Amazon took under its marketplace wing in 2005). Referencing the previous acquisition on the site, Amazon suggests, “that in the past seven years, the dedicated team at Small Parts helped us expand our service and selection until we have grown well beyond our original focus of tubing, parts and fasteners for the medical supply and research industries. We have chosen the name Amazon Supply to help communicate our new, broader selection, but we continue to carry on the Small Parts tradition of providing responsibly engineered products to the business, research and scientific communities.”

Lisa Reisman, Managing Director of MetalMiner, said, “Amazon Supply will be very disruptive, particularly for distributors in the MRO world such as Grainger, Wesco, Graybar and DSSI. Of course the story gets interesting when we look at the volumes. Amazon has honed the B2C model — small shipments with high frequencies using parcel service providers. How effectively Amazon will ship LTL and commodities in bulk vs. the Grainger’s, Wesco’s etc. is an important question. However, I wouldn’t say that’s a really hard competency to gain.”

Lisa also notes that, “the real value-add though for the distributors in the B2B world comes from the other facets of distribution — kitting, consignment, tool crib management, VMI, replenishment etc. How effectively Amazon will play here remains to be seen. And herein lies the rub — B2C and B2B may look similar, but these distinctions separate the two. Amazon can be a strong player in smaller sized businesses that don’t have integrated processes and systems, but companies that operate fully integrated vendor replenishment businesses will not be so quick to switch to Amazon. Nonetheless, it’s a disruptive offering and will be interesting to watch over the longer term.”
