Usage
The GESIPA standard flat head rivet in aluminium/steel Ø5x20mm is designed for secure fastening of sheet metals, composites, or other thin materials where rear access is limited. Suitable for use in metalworking, construction, and repair applications.
Advantages
- Allows strong joining from one side when the reverse side is inaccessible
- Aluminium body minimizes corrosion and reduces component weight
- Steel mandrel provides durable setting and high shear strength
- Flat head ensures a wide contact surface for stable support on soft materials
- Suits manual and pneumatic rivet pliers; easy to install by hand tools or machines
Specifications
- Design: Standard blind rivet with flat (dome) head shape; body made of aluminium alloy, mandrel made of galvanized steel[1]
- The combination of materials offers corrosion resistance (aluminium) and mechanical stability (steel)[1]
- Main dimensions: Rivet diameter Ø5 mm; total length: 20 mm; typical grip range depends on application but fits panels within stated dimensions[1]
- Differentiating feature: Ensures firm clamping with minimal deformation to joined components due to optimized geometry of the flat head[1]
How it works
This blind rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole through the parts to be joined. Using appropriate rivet pliers, the steel mandrel is pulled until it expands the aluminium body on the blind side, securely fastening both parts together before breaking off flush.
