Usage
This large-flange standard blind rivet is designed for durable fastening of materials such as metal, plastic, or composites. Ideal for general assembly, repairs, and applications requiring a wide load distribution.
Advantages
- Ensures secure joints with high shear strength (1,400 N) and tensile strength (2,000 N)
- Wide flange head distributes the load over a larger surface to reduce material deformation
- Corrosion-resistant construction with aluminium alloy body and zinc-plated steel mandrel
- Suitable for grip ranges between 3.0 mm and 5.0 mm for versatile application in various thicknesses
- Quick installation using standard rivet pliers; single-use design may require replenishment in bulk applications
Specifications
- Design: Blind rivet with large flange (K12), diameter Ø4 mm x length 8 mm; head diameter: 12 mm; mandrel diameter: 2.1 mm; hole diameter: approx. 4.1 mm [1]
- Materials: Rivet body from aluminium alloy; mandrel from zinc-plated steel [1]
- Tensile Strength: Up to 2,000 N | Shear Strength: Up to 1,400 N [1]
- Lifespan/durability suited to permanent installations in indoor or protected environments thanks to corrosion resistance [1]
How it works
The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole spanning the parts to be joined. When set using appropriate pliers, the mandrel pulls through and expands the rivet body behind the workpiece—creating a strong mechanical lock between materials.
