Usage
The GESIPA standard alu/steel flat head rivet Ø5x14mm is designed for fastening sheet metal, profiles, or components in automotive, construction, and general fabrication where access is possible from only one side.
Advantages
- Provides a strong and reliable permanent joint for thin or dissimilar materials
- Allows assembly when there is only access from one side (blind setting)
- Covers a wide range of industrial and repair applications with standardized dimensions
- Reduces thermal conductivity compared to full-steel options due to the aluminium body
- The steel mandrel ensures secure deformation and consistent installation results
Specifications
- Design: Blind rivet with an aluminium alloy body and galvanized steel mandrel; flat (dome) head shape for optimal contact area[1]
- Shaft length: 14 mm; diameter: 5 mm; suited for hole diameters typically between approximately 4.9–5.2 mm[3]
- Tensile strength: Typically rated around or above 2000 N depending on material combination[3]; suitable for light to medium-duty fixing tasks.
- Differentiating feature: Flat head offers a large contact surface reducing risk of deformation on softer materials while enabling neat finishes[1][3]
How it works
This blind rivet is inserted into pre-drilled aligned holes in the materials to be joined. When set using compatible rivet pliers, the steel mandrel pulls through the aluminum body, expanding it behind the workpiece to securely clamp both parts together without rear-side access.
