GESIPA BLIND RIVETS GESIPA blind rivets ensure safe and durable assembly of various materials, including sensitive ones. GESIPA blind rivets - Efficient technology Blind rivet technology from GESIPA is indispensable from many modern industrial productions where connection technology is required due to their cost-effectiveness and versatility. It combines advantages such as overcoming limited component accessibility, permanently safe assembly of various, even sensitive materials and, if required, even documentation of the setting process. Technically, the blind rivet consists of two components, the hollow rivet and the rivet punch. While the component must always be accessible on both sides when screwing, clinching and punching rivets, etc., the really special thing about the blind rivet is that only one-sided component access is necessary. GESIPA blind rivet - Sustainable connection During the setting process, the rivet punch is pulled with the feed jaws of the setting unit and forms the hollow rivet to the pre-defined, fixed seat in the component. Finally, the rivet mandrel breaks off at the intended location, the predetermined breaking point, and the residual mandrel can be recycled. The residual rivet punch is the remaining part of the rivet pin in the hollow rivet and can take over an additional safety function depending upon the application. GESIPA blind rivets - for each application, blind rivets are available in various versions, materials, shapes, lengths and also colors. Depending on the task to be performed by a blind rivet, GESIPA can choose between a standard model available from stock or a blind rivet designed specifically for an application. GESIPA blind rivet - A rule of thumb material thickness + rivet diameter = rivet length Technical data for GESIPA blind rivets GESIPA blind rivets - Concepts - The blind rivet consists of two parts: The hollow rivet and the rivet punch. - The hollow rivet consists of the setting head and the hollow rivet - The setting head is located on the processing side and is variable in diameter and shape. It is available in the round head, flat head and large head variants. The rivet shank is available in different lengths depending on the material to be riveted. - The rivet punch has the task of deforming the rivet. It contains the predetermined breaking point. This is where the rivet pin tears off after the rivet has been deformed. - The residual rivet punch is the portion of the rivet punch remaining in the hollow rivet. The residual mandrel is the proportion of the rivet punch that is torn off by the set rivet.This text is machine translated.
