Installed fasteners, like rivets, are also extremely vibration resistant, which allows them to be used in automotive and other repetitive motion applications. Semi-Tubular Rivets Semi-tubular rivets are manufactured with a shallow hole at the tip, opposite the head. Rivets are mechanical fasteners that consist of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end and a tail at the opposite end. Used in a multitude of industries such as aerospace, automotive, rail, HVAC, white goods, electronics, and general engineering. Nylon is a strong, tough and durable material often used for connecting elements and other technical components.

During installation, the headless end is deformed with a hammer or a rivet gun, securing the rivet to the fastened materials.One of the only limitations to what material a rivet can be made of is that the shaft must be ductile enough to deform without cracking. This easy and effective push-pull design allows for these Releasable Rivets to snap in and out of the application up to 25 times - making them a highly economical and reusable solution. This Push In Rivet, also known as a Push/Pull Knob Rivet or a Releasable Rivet, is a type of panel fastener designed for optimal assembly and removal for a range of applications, particularly those that require regular maintainance, as well as fast assembly and removal.

Rivets (Pop Rivets) - Multiple Types and Sizes Blind Rivets (Pop Rivets) - Multiple Types and Sizes

Our range of Tough Rivets are suitable for applications requiring a push in, front-mounted (blind-side fixing) fastener, which can be removed and reused.

The Nylon range extends with high-strength options made from Impact Modified Nylon, offered with a choice of pin material. Commonly known as the “pop” rivet, blind rivets are especially useful when only one side of the assembly is accessible. Drive Rivets Drive rivetsare a type of blind rivet with a drive pin designed to spread the end of the shaft. Standoffs are often used to space a printed circuit board off of the base plate, but can be used to allow airflow between two parts, or many other applications. Because the tubular rivets only deform at the hollow end, rather than throughout the length of the shaft, they can be used for pivot joints.

An added benefit over a standard nut and bolt assembly is that a stud is fixed so that it cannot rotate as you lie on your back trying to thread on a nut with no visibility. The RV industry uses riveting techniques to fasten materials like plastic, plywood and aluminum together–try doing that with a welded joint sometime. Although rivets definitely have seniority in the wide world of fasteners, our hardware selection, which includes nuts, studs and standoffs offers a wider range of potential applications. Snap Latch Rivets are ideal for applications, such as; electrical equipment, metal enclosures, telecommunications equipment, appliances, and more. All coloured rivets have a large grip range due to multigrip technology, so they are suitable for a wide range of applications.When determining the distance between two or more fasteners, you can calculate the distance by the formula, C/L to edge + 1/2 the diameter of the second mounting hole. Our range of Snap Rings are made from Nylon, and come in two different types; Snap Rings and Snap Ring Washers. Plastic rivets are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including the automotive, and construction industries. Although limitations to rivets exist, there are still many great applications across various industries: aircraft construction and sheet metal fabricators still often employ riveted joints because they are nearly immune to loosening with vibration. If high strength is critical, high carbon steel solid rivets can be used, which require heating to “cherry red” temperature and then setting with a pneumatic rivet tool.
