Usage
These GESIPA rivets are designed for securing metal sheets or components where a strong, wide-bearing surface is needed. They are suitable for use in the assembly of vehicles, sheet metal fabrication, and general industrial repairs.
Advantages
- Large flange head distributes load to prevent pull-through on softer materials.
- Reliable combination of aluminium alloy body and zinc-plated steel mandrel improves durability.
- Quick installation from one side without access to the rear of the workpiece.
- Tensile strength up to 2000 N and shear strength up to 1400 N provides secure joining.
- Slightly heavier than standard heads due to enlarged flange diameter.
Specifications
- Material: Aluminium alloy rivet body with large (K12) flange; mandrel made from zinc-plated steel.
- Conforms to DIN EN ISO standards for blind rivets ensuring consistent quality.
- Main dimensions: Body diameter Ø4 mm, length 16 mm, head diameter Ø12 mm; suitable for pre-drilled holes ~4.1 mm.
- Tensile strength: up to 2000 N; Shear strength: up to 1400 N; weight with packaging per piece approx. ~2 g (varies by lot size).
How it works
Install the rivet by inserting it into a pre-drilled hole with compatible pliers. The tool pulls the mandrel through the body, expanding and locking it securely in place while leaving a large-flange head on one side.
