Blind Rivets fasteners series

Blind Rivets Overview

Blind rivets are tubular fasteners supplied with a central mandrel. The rivet assembly is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the components to be joined, and a specially designed tool pulls the mandrel into the rivet body. This action expands the blind end, forming a secure fastening, and the mandrel snaps off automatically.

Unlike solid rivets, blind rivets can be fully installed from one side only, making them ideal for applications where access to the reverse side is restricted. They are widely used in automotive, electronics, construction, aerospace, and industrial equipment assemblies.

Material and Head Selection

• Domed Head: Most versatile,      suitable for general applications

• Large Flange: Provides twice the      under-head bearing surface, ideal for brittle or weak materials

• Countersunk (120°): Required when a      flush surface is necessary

• Composite Materials: Rivet body and      mandrel can be of different materials to optimize performance and      corrosion resistance

Channel material applications: For deep or inaccessible channels, use extended nosepieces or long-mandrel rivets to ensure proper setting.

Gap Fastening

Brand Rivets are widely used to assemble extruded sections because of the limited access and clearances. As shown in (A), avoid setting against unsupported internal sections, which results in poor rigidity. Select (B) to ensure success.

Plastic Material

Select soft set aluminum rivets (A), large flange rivets (B), Peel rivets (C), or LSR rivets (D) according to the strength of the resin workpiece. The standard types are also applicable to high-strength resin material.

Fastening in Blind Hole

Taking advantage of the swollen rivet diameter after setting, it is possible to apply the rivet to a straight-through hole (A) or a blind hole (B).

Pivot Fastening

When it is required to rotate a fastener part, use a pivot nosepiece to provide a small gap.

Edge Distance: A distance of two times the rivet diameter (D) or more from the river center to the end of the workpiece is recommended to avoid material fracture.

Galvanic Compatibility of Various Metals When two metals are in electrical contact with an electrolyte, galvanic corrosion is possible. Metals farthest apart in a galvanic series will corrode most rapidly. Galvanic corrosion may be produced by two entirely different metals or two similar metals differing only slightly in chemical composition or physical condition. To help prevent corrosion cells from forming, all cracks, crevices, sharp bends, scale, and other surface deposits between interface areas should be avoided when possible.

Tensile/Shear:

Performance The tensile and shear figures quoted indicate the rivet's performance. Actual performance will depend on workpiece material type and thickness.

Hole Size

This is the minimum recommended diameter of the drilled/punched hole, which should be burr-free.

Joint Strength

First, assess the tensile and shear loads the riveted joint must withstand. The correct number and spacing of fastenings with a body of the correct diameter and material will achieve this performance specification. As a guide to spacing, the distance between rivet centers should ideally be three times the body diameter. Depending upon joint Load, this factor can be increased or decreased, but testing is recommended before final production commitments are made. Rivets should also be set at a minimum of two diameters away from the edge of the work. Actual performance will depend on component materials and thicknesses.

Joint Thickness

Having identified a rivet of the correct strength, calculate the combined thickness of the components to be joined. An allowance should be included for any intermediate layer, such as a sealant, and any gap between materials before setting. Then select the rivet length accommodating the calculated "grip."

Recommended Grip Range

This is the recommended thickness range over which the body length consistently provides a good setting in a hole of the specified diameter.

Our blind fasteners and brake systems are offered together to build more structurally sound products. J-X Enterprises Fastening offers the broadest specialty line of engineered blind fastening systems globally.

Open-end rivets are hollow blind rivets pre-assembled onto a headed pin or mandrel. When set, open-end rivets resemble conventional tubular rivets, but unlike tubular rivets, the mandrel head is retained within the body of the rivet. These large-flange rivets give a wide load spread and are available in aluminum and nickel-copper alloys. The nickel-copper option is particularly suited for marine and other corrosive atmospheres. Providing solid and low-cost fastenings, Open-end rivets do well in most industrial riveting applications where materials to be fastened do not have high load-bearing requirements.

The design of the stem head ensures positive retention after installation

Wide range of diameters.

Wide range of lengths suitable for material thicknesses up to 26mm.

Countersunk (120°) heads are available.

Break-head mandrels are available in most sizes.

Fully sealed fastening! Our exclusive Closed-End rivet design is ideal for applications that need watertight or when stem retention is paramount. This blind rivet produces a seal that prevents the passage of liquid or vapor at pressures up to 100 psi. The seal is possible thanks to a unique cup-shaped end configuration, which prevents vapor or liquid from getting around or through the set rivet. Our Closed-End blind sealing rivets provide up to 23% greater tensile strength than equivalent open-end rivets. Plus, closed-end rivets provide 100% mandrel retention, which can be essential in applications such as electric and electronic equipment. This rivet type is available with a dome or countersunk head style in various material combinations, including stainless steel.

Our Micro rivets are an excellent fastener choice wherever space is a consideration. Our Micro rivets are 2mm aluminum open-end rivets designed for small micro-electronics applications. Designed with printed circuit board manufacturers and assemblers in mind, Micro rivets are some of the most miniature blind break stem rivets available anywhere. Micro rivets are blind rivets inserted and set from one side of the workpiece. They deliver low in-place cost and fast assembly. Correct setting pressure is predetermined by the rivet design, so sets are uniform and independent of operator judgments or tool torque. They are not subject to strip-out and will not deform work pieces.

Our proprietary Pull-Thru rivets are ideal when minimal clearance and a flush set to the application surface are required on both sides. Our PT rivet uniquely solves these issues. As the PT rivet sets, the mandrel head remains integral with the mandrel, assuring no loose mandrel heads in the assembled product. The PT rivet is a steel countersunk blind fastener designed to set the surface flush on both sides of an application (blind side protrusion < 0.4mm/0.015").PT rivets are widely used in the electronics industry, where space is at a premium. However, they also lend themselves to many low-clearance industrial applications, like car sunroofs, automotive speakers, home cabinet drawers, and refrigerator drawers, among many other uses. Installation using our Automated Riveting System facilitates a cycle time as fast as 2 seconds.

Almost identical in appearance to our regular open-end rivets, Soft-Set rivets incorporate a body and mandrel of special soft aluminum alloy. Breaking at a lower tensile point than regular mandrels, they afford a firm grip but provide the more moderate pressure essential in fastening more brittle materials.
