NOS

NOS (Not Upset) rods offer a simple and effective centre-belt connection without additional compression in the rod material. This makes them ideal for low-speed applications or narrower webs where full reinforcement isn’t required.

NOS rods are also commonly used under clips. In specific cases, splitting the rod under the clip can help prevent breakage across the rivet holes—avoiding clip failure and ensuring the integrity of the connection.

A minimal yet dependable solution for less demanding conditions or targeted reinforcement.
