The time and cost saving technology of blind riveting is simple. The materials to be riveted only have to be reached from one side, which explains the term "blind" riveting.
The rivet is made of two parts namely, the body and the mandrel.
- The body is deformed when the rivet is set and it is this part which clamps the materials together.
- The function of the mandrel is to deform the body of the rivet.
The mandrel is therefore always stronger than the body.
The mandrel breaks off at its specific breaking point. This breaking point ensures that the mandrel breaks off at the right moment so that the body is correctly deformed and the materials are
clamped together. The breaking load can be adjusted so that the mandrel breaks at
a sooner or a later point of time.
TENSILE AND SHEAR STRENGTH
The tensile strength is the maximum force the rivet can bear lengthways before it
gives out. The tensile strength is obtained through tests and is always the smallest
average value.
The value is expressed in Pounds (lb) and Newton (N) (2,207 lb ~ 10 N).
The shear strength is the maximum force the rivet can bear vertical to its length
before it gives out. The shear strength is obtained through tests and is always the
smallest average value.
By changing the breaking point, the shear strength will be increased or decreased.
The value is expressed in Pounds (lb) and Newton (N) (2,207 lb ~ 10 N).
