The high-strength TIFAS® M-Bolt blind rivets have been designed to cope with high loads. They remain snug even when subjected to dynamic loads. Their large grip range means they can be used for a very wide range of applications. Through its load-bearing mandrel, TIFAS® M-Bolt comes with a high shear strength and tensile strength at break, allowing it to act as a loadbearing fastener. The mandrel always breaks flush, even when materials of varying strengths and thicknesses are present within the grip range.
The spent mandrel remains securely retained within the sleeve (mechanical mandrel retention). The interior mandrel retention mechanism prevents the remaining section of the spent mandrel from corroding. The good hole filling properties make for a sturdy, vibration-proof and water-resistant connection while also compensating for hole tolerances. Holes can be prepared to ensure joints are watertight and airtight A special nose piece is required for installation.
