Usage
Designed for permanent fastening in metalworking, construction, and repair applications, the GESIPA aluminium/steel flat head standard rivet Ø4x20mm ensures secure joining where only one side is accessible. Ideal for use with compatible rivet pliers.
Advantages
- Offers a strong and reliable blind connection even on thin or sensitive materials
- Supports joining of dissimilar materials (aluminium body, steel mandrel)
- Dome (flat) head design provides broad surface contact and neat finish
- Suits rapid installation with manual or battery-powered riveters
- Single-use format means removal requires drilling out the set rivet if replacement is needed
Specifications
- Design: Standard blind rivet; dome (flat) head; body made from aluminium alloy with galvanised steel mandrel for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.
- Durability: Resistant to vibration loosening; suitable for indoor and certain outdoor environments subject to material compatibility.
- Measurable performance: Body diameter: 4 mm; length: 20 mm. Typical shear strengths depend on application but can reach up to several thousand newtons in similar GESIPA models.
- Differentiating features: Allows access from only one side (“blind” riveting); supports quick assembly without welding or threading.
How it works
The user inserts the blind rivet through aligned holes in the workpieces. Using a suitable rivet plier, they pull the mandrel until it breaks off at a preset force, expanding the aluminum body behind the material to clamp both parts securely together.
