Tuerca de cabeza plana

El proceso de estampado en frío es uno de los nuevos procesos de mecanizado a presión de menor o ningún corte
metal. Es un método de transformación que utiliza la deformación plástica del metal bajo la acción de
fuerzas externas y, con ayuda de moldes, redistribuye y transfiere el volumen de metal para formar
las piezas o formatos necesarios. El proceso de estampación en frío es el más adecuado para producir piezas estándar.
elementos de fijación como pernos, tornillos, tuercas, remaches, pasadores, etc.

A flat head plum tuerca de barril (también conocido como tuerca de barril o pear-shaped nut) is a specialized type of fastener designed for specific applications where a low-profile, secure, and often concealed connection is needed. Here’s a detailed description:

Características:

1. Shape & Design:

   • Flat Head: The top surface is flat or slightly countersunk, allowing it to sit flush with or below the material surface when installed.

   • Plum/Barrel Body: The nut has a rounded, barrel-like (or pear-shaped) body with internal threads.

   • Slotted or Hex Drive: Many flat head barrel nuts have a slotted drive (for screwdriver installation) or a hex socket (for Allen/hex key tightening).

2. Material:

   • Normalmente se fabrica con steel (often zinc-plated or stainless steel for corrosion resistance) or brass for decorative or non-magnetic applications.

3. Instalación:

   • Designed to fit into a pre-drilled or recessed hole, providing a low-profile fastening solution.

   • Often used in furniture assembly, automotive panels, machinery, and electronics where a flush finish is desired.

Usos comunes:

• Furniture & Cabinetry: Used in flat-pack furniture for hidden joints.

• Automotive & Aerospace: Securing panels or components with minimal protrusion.

• Electronics & Enclosures: Fastening internal components without exposed hardware.

• DIY & Metalworking: When a smooth surface is required after assembly.

Ventajas:

• Low-profile finish (flush with the surface).

• Strong grip due to the barrel shape distributing load.

• Easy to conceal for aesthetic applications.

• Tuerca de cabeza plana

Variaciones:

• Slotted Flat Head Barrel Nut: For screwdriver installation.

• Hex Socket Barrel Nut: For Allen/hex key tightening.

• Shoulder Barrel Nut: Includes a shoulder for added stability.
