Nut Plate Jigs
Designed to facilitate accurate rivet hole drilling for standard plate nuts (also commonly known as Anchor Nuts, or Nut Plates), Nut Plate Jigs by Omega Technologies are manufactured to precise tolerances and include drill bushings to reduce wear and assure consistent hole-spacing. Redesigned pins and pilots make the tool much easier to use. Each tool features an ergonomically designed handle with a flexible stainless steel spring blade, allowing for clearance while the jig is in use. Its convenient size allows it to fit most tool-box cut-outs. A spring-steel band between the handle and the head allow for finger clearance or positioning of the tool in cramped quarters. Note: the terms Anchor-Nut, Plate-Nut, or Nut-Plate are frequently used interchangeably. They all refer to a group of fasteners consisting of a threaded nut element which may be affixed (anchored to) another structure.

Nut Plate Jigs are specialized tools that are used to install and align nut plates during the assembly of aircraft structures. Nut plates are components that are attached to the aircraft structure to provide a secure mounting point for bolts or other fasteners. Nut Plate Jigs are designed to hold the nut plate in place during installation, ensuring that it is aligned correctly and securely attached to the structure.
Nut Plate Jigs typically consist of a base plate and a clamping mechanism that holds the nut plate in place. The base plate may be fixed or adjustable, depending on the specific application. The clamping mechanism is designed to hold the nut plate firmly in place while it is being installed, to prevent it from moving or shifting during the installation process.
To use a Nut Plate Jig, the operator first places the nut plate onto the base plate of the jig, and then uses the clamping mechanism to hold it securely in place. The operator can then drill the necessary holes in the aircraft structure to accommodate the nut plate, and install the nut plate using the appropriate fasteners.
Nut Plate Jigs are essential tools in the aerospace industry, where precision and accuracy are critical for the safe and reliable operation of aircraft. They help to ensure that nut plates are installed correctly and securely, and they can save time and effort during the assembly process by simplifying the alignment and installation of nut plates. Nut Plate Jigs may be used in a variety of applications, from the assembly of wings and fuselage panels to the installation of engine components and landing gear. |
