Usage
This standard GESIPA blind rivet with a flat head in aluminium/steel is designed for reliable fastening of sheet metals, components, or assemblies where access is possible from only one side. Commonly used in metal fabrication, construction, maintenance, and repair tasks.
Advantages
- Allows secure joining even when only one side of the workpiece is accessible
- Combination of aluminium body and steel mandrel offers a balance of strength and corrosion resistance
- Flat head design provides an even load distribution and neat finish on surfaces
- Fast installation process suitable for manual or pneumatic rivet tools
- A minor drawback: not intended for structural applications requiring high load-bearing capacity
Specifications
- The rivet features an aluminium alloy body with a galvanized steel mandrel to prevent corrosion and ensure robust performance[1]
- Satisfies standard requirements for blind riveting technology; suitable for general industrial use[1]
- Main dimensions: diameter Ø5 mm, length 25 mm; grip range typically matches thicknesses up to approximately the body length minus head height (verify with specific application needs)[1][2]
- Dome (flat) head ensures good contact area on joined materials; compatibility with various GESIPA setting tools enhances ease-of-use[1]
How it works
Insert the rivet through pre-drilled aligned holes in the parts to be joined. Using compatible rivet pliers or tools, pull the mandrel until it snaps off inside the rivet body. This action expands the blind end of the rivet behind the materials, securing them together permanently.
