The
material that follows will provide a useful
planning guide for most applications. In
addition, we offer the services of our
engineering staff to help with unusual
requirements.
Channel
Material
If the tool does not reach the
bottom of a channel material, use a long
nosepiece
(A). The maximum application diameter of the
long nosepiece is the same as the
diameter of the rivet flange. The maximum length
is 20mm. In this case, use a
long mandrel rivet. If method (A) is not
applicable, set the rivet from the opposite side
(B). In (C), a standard rivet tool can be used.
Soft to
Hard Materials
When a standard type rivet is
used to set soft materials onto hard materials,
fracture of the soft material should be
prevented when setting (A). When the soft
material is positioned at the secondary side,
use a metal washer (B). When it is
located at the flange side, use a large flange
(D) to distribute the stress.
Pivot Fastening
When it is required to rotate a
fastened part, use a pivot nosepiece to provide
a
small gap.
Gap Fastening
POP® Brand Rivets are widely
used in assembling extruded sections because of
the limited access and clearances involved. As
shown in (A), avoid setting against unsupported
internal sections, which results in poor
rigidity. Select (B)
to insure success.
Plastic
Material
Select soft set aluminum rivets (A), large
flange rivets (B), Peel rivets (C) or
LSR rivets (D) according to strength of resin
workpiece. The standard types are
also applicable to a high-strength resin
material.
Fastening
in Blind Hole
Taking advantage of the swollen rivet diameter
after setting, it is possible to
apply the rivet to a straight-through hole (A)
or a blind hole (B).
Edge
Distance
A distance of two times the rivet diameter (D)
or more from the rivet center to
the end of the workpiece is recommended to avoid
material fracture.
