Blind rivet technology - Import export

Hammer stroke or drive rivets are set by driving the mandrel into the rivet body (e.g. by means of a hammer). This causes the lower end of the rivet body to expand and allows riveting components with openend boreholes and also riveting of blind-end boreholes.This riveting technology is suitable for the most diverse material combinations. For blind-end boreholes, a trial is necessary in order to establish the optimum rivet length based on the component characteristics and the firmness requirements.

Large grip ranges and higher shear and tensile forces - OPTO®-Bulb is the universal rivet for difficult jobs.The OPTO®-Bulb is combining the flexibility of multigrip rivets with the excellent strength of the FERO®-Bulb series. It offers a secure locking of the remaining mandrel as well as a smooth formed closing head.

RIFBOLT blind rivet studs consist of a sleeve and a screw, which are joined together by welding or crimping. As special production components we can use different lenghts and types of screws can be used as well as almost every rivet nut sleeve. Blind rivet studs offer a multiple use. They can — connect different working pieces, — install a thread into components and — fix additional parts to the screw.

The strong CERTO®-PERFECT special sealed blind rivet forms a large and smooth closing head by its special clamped rivet sleeve. This head makes sure that the danger of pull through in case of oversized bore holes can be reduced to a minimum. Additionally the tightness in standing water is increased significant.

The classic form of blind rivet nuts with parallel shank for use in dry and grease-free components . The availability in aluminum, steel and stainless steel with all head shapes (flat head, countersunk head and small countersunk head) in sizes from M3 -M12 provides a large choice for all applications .

According to the ARCO body-bound rivet the folding rivet forms a large upset head too. Thisguarantees an equal distribution of forces, so that especially plastics and other soft or vulnerable materials resist against cracking or pullthrough. Typically this rivet is used in all areas of industrial light weight constructions. As a result of the locked mandrel in the connection, the spread rivet is splash water resistant. VVG offers two different types – the standard split rivet and a high strength version with neoprene washer.

The classic model. The designation ALFO® stands for the product range of HONSEL open standard blind rivets that are available with dome, countersunk or large dome head. It covers the versions and special types described in DIN EN ISO 15977 to 15984 as well as 16582 and 16584. “Special types” by our definition are rivets with a function as described in the above standards, but with differences in certain dimensions, functional properties or material combinations.

SFM-PL folding blind rivet nuts are constructed for those applications where a high pull-out strength is requested. The slottedshaft makes the rivet nut split into four straps with a wide contact surface that guarantee an equal distribution of forces especially on plastics and other vulnerable materials. Furthermore this type offers a very big grip range! SFM-PL folding blind rivet nuts are for example used in all fields of vehicle manufacturing.

The OPTO multigrip blind rivet with his especially embossed rivet shaft, is distinctly different to a standard blind rivet. Due to his constructive structural, the rivet guarantees lots of excellent performance characteristics: — large grip range — good filling capacity of the borehole — non-positive locking of the captive mandrel without clearance — no rattling sounds — dustproof and splash water-tight Preferred applications for OPTO multigrip blind rivets can be found in the field of vehicle manufacturing, in air conditioning technology as well as in the production of tanks and cntainers. Furthermore, this rivet type is excellently suited for use as a repair rivet. Honsel develops for this blind rivet type special variants for the serial producti on, too, e. g. large grip range low grip range with a diameter up to 8,0 mm!

Blind rivet nuts with continuous hexagonal (Hexaform) or partial hexagonal shank (Hexatop) are another possibility to avoid the rotation of the fastener in the component as alternative to knurled shafts. Especially with coated components or when using tools smaller working stroke you can achieve excellent results.

FERO-BOLT high-strength blind rivets are first-class fasteners for industrial applications, especially in those with the attension to the safety factor. Due to its special construction method, this rivet is able to take over load-bearing functions. Typical is the guaranteed flush break with the setting head. Advantages: — very high shear strength with captive mandrel that absorbs parts of the forces — large grip ranges — visually checkable interlocking of the mandrel — vibration resistant — splash waterproof — very good capability of filling the bore hole

On request, colors from all major scales are produciable. Furthermore, we offer anodized rivets or designs with large painted heads eg. for facades.

The FERO-BULB series are used in large quantities in various industrial appliances for a long ti me. Particularly in the field of vehicle and tank construction, this type of rivet is an excellent choice. FERO-BULB blind rivets feature the following characteristics: — very high shear strength through a captive mandrel — large setting head which folds during the setting process — captive mandrel locks vibration proof inside the rivet — dust proof and splash waterproof — high clamping force onto components

One blind rivet nut for all grip ranges. The innovative and patented development of the Honsel-Group was in 2007 the first mass-production multigrip blind rivet nut. The product has a lot of advantages over the common standard types like no mixing of different grip ranges, reduction of storrage and failure costs or the reduction of item diversity.

Grounding blind rivets offer a simple and reliable way of grounding a product. This is achieved by pressing the respective toothing on the conductor in the material. The grounding conductor can be used with standard cable sockets easily. The processing of grounding blind rivets can be doen with all kinds of standard type rivet tools.

CERTO® – The Leak-tight Thanks to their cup-shaped rivet sleeves, CERTO® sealing blind rivets are the specialists when it comes to liquid-tight riveting. Thanks to this special design, the breakstem is also captive. The rivet forms a smooth, burr-free blind head and is suitable for automatic riveting. Blind rivets are one of the most extensively used fasteners worldwide. An almost endless diversity of types, sizes and formats ensure solutions for all applications. For years, HONSEL has focused primarily on the manufacture of non-standard blind rivets.

Durable, robust, and reliable: the hand tool VNG 371 for the processing of blind rivet nuts (M5 to M10) and blind rivet bolts (M5 to M8). The VNG 371 is supplied in an impact-resistant plastic case and equipped with a comfortable drill rod for the easy lowering of the set connector and a quick-change system for the mandrels.

During the setting process, edges on the mandrel head cut the rivet shaft into four segments. These four segments then unfold on the component surface thus forming the large locking head. Once the mandrel reaches its predetermined breakload, the mandrel head falls out of the rivet body. The large locking head allows connecting soft or britt le components and helps transfer high tensile forces.ARCO body-bound blind rivets are preferably used for plastic or wood element assembly, caravan manufacturing and fastening of cladings.

The knurled shaft of the blind rivet nut provides a locking device to avoid the turning of the insert in the component. These knurled blind rivet nuts are used preferably in components with lower regidity (component material is less "hard" than the material of the blind rivet nut).They are available with different heads (dome, countersunk and small countersunk) and as open and closed end versions.

The lazy tong rivet tool BZ 58 can process blind rivets with a diameter up to 6.4 mm (aluminum) reliably and powerfully.
