Can be mounted without tools from the front or from the back:
The new cage nut for comfortable use

01 Requirements

„Riveting nuts or traditional cage nuts are cumbersome to mount and require special tools, leading to a tedious installation process and much frustration.

That’s why we have developed a little product with a large effect. Our new cage nut can be mounted without tools from the front just as well as from the back.“

Dieter Ramsauer

02 Application

Application in diverse fields

Cage and riveting nuts are necessary anywhere metal sheets need to be bound together.

Particularly the 19” technology offers a wide range of applications. It is here extremely important that the cage nuts result in a convenient and secure binding.

Cage and riveting nuts are used in mechanical engineering and in the construction of enclosures, as well.

The majority of solutions available on the market are mounted in the cutout from behind, mostly involving the use of tools. In a fully loaded enclosure, in particular, this often makes it very difficult to change the arrangement of the devices.

03 Product benefits
