RIVELITPeel type blind rivet
Rivelit peel type blind rivet is a high-performance, permanent fastener that cannot be dismantled. It enables the assembly of several parts.
It is called a “blind” rivet because it allows assembly of parts accessible only from one side of the parts to be joined. The two parts to be joined must be pre-drilled.
It consists of 2 parts: the rivet body and the rivet stem or nail.
Principles of use :
Setting a blind rivet requires the use of a tool.
This tool can be manual, oleopneumatic or electric, depending on the type of rivet to be set and the type of application.
The blind rivet is inserted into the hole in the parts to be joined. The setting tool pulls the blind rivet stem, deforming the rivet body and stressing the parts and plates to join the parts securely together. When the breaking force is reached, the rivet stem breaks at the break point and is simply discarded.
How to choose the right rivet?
Installing rivets is easy. To ensure success, all you need to do is choose the right rivet.
To do this, you need to ask yourself 3 questions:
- What should the rivet diameter and rivet body material be? The hole diameter is directly related to the rivet diameter. The rivet diameter, on the other hand, is determined by the strength required for the application.
- What nail material do I need? This will depend on the degree of corrosion resistance recommended.
- How long should the rivet be? This will depend on the total thickness to be crimped.
Different head shapes, materials and dimensions:
Rivelit blind rivets are available with flat heads, Ø3.2mm; Ø4.0mm and Ø4.8mm.
The following materials are available : Alu/Steel, Steel/Steel on request.
NB: The first material indicated is that of the body, the second that of the stem.
Surface treatments :
We can offer anodized or lacquered rivets.
Peel type blind rivet features :
During crimping, the Rivelit peel type blind rivet body opens in 4 parts and the stem head is ejected. Unlike other rivets, for which the parts to be joined must be strong enough not to be deformed, Rivelit peel type blind rivet can be used to crimp taut or vulnerable materials ( license plates, plastic, foam, wood, rubber, fiberglass, polyester), thanks to their 4-prong umbrella-shaped opening, which ensures excellent distribution of the clamping load.
Ideal for assembling flexible materials such as insulation or license plates.
