Sherex Fastening Solutions\u2019 Optisert, the best performing round body rivet nut on the market, was recently awarded as a winner of the 2023 Fastener Innovation Awards by\u00a0WorldwideFastenerSources.com.<\/p>\n
The innovative\u00a0Optisert\u00a0was chosen as a winner because of its incredible performance against spin-out. Its proprietary combination of an engineered knurled body and underhead wedge design helps it grip into the base material to prevent it from spinning. In softer materials, like aluminum, plastics, and composites, the spin-out performance matches that of a full hex body rivet nut.<\/p>\n
This award \u201caims to recognize the people and companies to encourage Research & Development in the fastener industry,\u201d as stated in the release by Mike McGuire, president of WorldwideFastenerSources.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud that the Fastener Innovation Awards are based on technical advancements compared to what exists in the marketplace today,\u201d McGuire was quoted in the release.<\/p>\n
This is now the second recognition for Optisert, as it was also a finalist for the\u00a0Route to Fastener Innovation 2023.<\/p>\n
Optisert took over 7 years of research and development to become part of Sherex\u2019s standard part offering. That meant lots of testing and tinkering to make sure Optisert would be ready to perform as a premier round body rivet nut in softer materials.<\/p>\n
\u201cA driving force in the evaluation process is that the fasteners be innovative in assemblies today and that they will become tomorrow\u2019s standard,\u201d the award release said. \u201cOur philosophy is continuous improvement with innovative solutions for customers\u2019 fastening applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sherex shares the same philosophy and with more innovations coming soon, more awards should be on the way.<\/p>\n
