RIV-TI® blind rivet screws are the alternative to weld studs or threaded self-clinching studs. The sleeve and stud are cold welded together. This welding process performs the double function of forming a twist-resistant join between the two components while also holding the upset on the blind end of the rivet. Without this, the body that forms during the rivet installation process would drag the material away from the stud head. The welding process ensures that the blind rivet screws offer absolute stability and load-bearing capacity. The term ‘absolute’ here means that the stud, and not the rivet connection, gives way when overloaded. Upon installation, blind rivet studs can therefore be subjected to the same loads as same-quality DIN screws.
The RIV-TI® is installed from one side. This is both rational and time-saving, especially for components that are difficult or impossible to access from the blind side. Highly practical: as a result of this strong rivet installation process, it is also possible to fasten further sheet panels to the component. By attaching commercially available nuts, the protruding thread on the blind rivet screw will support any other installed fasteners. Blind rivet screws are supplied in 8.8 mating screw proof load quality. Their installation using hand lever or hydropneumatic installation tools is extremely easy, fast, and material-friendly. Surface-finished components can also be installed without being damaged. The same tools can be used as for blind rivet screw, with only the threaded mandrels needing to be replaced with internal threaded mandrels.
Easy, rational and time-saving installation
- Prepare the drilled hole.
- Screw the RIV-TI® into the internal threaded mandrel of the rivet installation tool.
- Insert the RIV-TI® blind rivet screw into the drilled hole.
- The rivet installation tool retracts the internal threaded mandrel and rivets the RIV-TI® axially to the component. Hold the rivet installation tool squarely to the component when performing the installation.
- Spin off the internal threaded mandrel.
- The RIV-TI® is now ready to be used to support additional fasteners. For best twist-proof results, the attached parts must rest very flush on the head of the RIV-TI® blind rivet screw.
