Usage
The GESIPA K14 large flange blind rivet, aluminium/steel Ø5x10mm, is designed for fastening sheet metal and other materials where a secure, wide-head connection is required. Ideal for use in industrial assembly, repair work, and construction of sensitive or softer materials.
Advantages
- Large flange head distributes load over a wider area, reducing risk of material pull-through.
- Constructed with an aluminium alloy body and steel mandrel for optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
- Suitable for joining thin or delicate materials without deformation.
- Compatible with standard rivet pliers and commonly used installation tools.
- The fixed grip range limits versatility to material thicknesses near the specified size.
Specifications
- Design: Blind rivet with large flange head (14 mm diameter), Ø5 mm body, length 10 mm. Materials: aluminium alloy (body) and steel (mandrel).
- Tensile/shear performance: Tensile strength approx. 2800 N; shear strength approx. 2000 N; conforms to DIN EN ISO standards for blind rivets.[1][5]
- Sizing: Designed specifically for pre-drilled holes of approximately Ø5.10 mm; supports effective clamping in assemblies matching the grip range.[1][3]
- Differentiating features: Wide contact surface prevents damage on soft/brittle substrates and enhances joint stability under vibration.[7]
How it works
This blind rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole through the parts to be joined. Using compatible pliers or a riveting tool, tension applied to the mandrel expands the end of the rivet body inside the assembly—forming a permanent mechanical connection even when only one side is accessible.[7]
