Usage
This standard GESIPA flat head rivet in aluminum/steel is designed for reliably joining metal sheets and components, especially where access is only possible from one side. Ideal for industrial assembly, maintenance, and repair tasks.
Advantages
- Supports secure and lasting connections on a wide range of materials
- Simplifies installation in locations with limited rear access thanks to blind setting technology
- Flat head design provides an even load distribution and neat finish
- Aluminum body ensures corrosion resistance while steel mandrel adds strength
- A single-use nature may require careful planning for disassembly operations
Specifications
- Design: Flat (standard) head blind rivet; body made of aluminum alloy with galvanized steel mandrel for balanced durability and weight[1]
- Durability: Corrosion-resistant materials suitable for indoor and outdoor environments; manufactured according to industry standards[1]
- Sizing & Performance: Diameter: 5 mm; Length: 10 mm; compatible hole diameters typically between approx. 5.0–5.3 mm depending on application[3]
- Differentiating Features: Efficient installation with commonly available rivet pliers; creates a flush joint with the surface due to flat head geometry[1][3]
How it works
The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole, then set using standard rivet pliers or pneumatic tools. The tool pulls the mandrel through the body, expanding the back side of the rivet to clamp components securely together before snapping off excess mandrel.
