Semi-Tubular Rivets |
|
|
Description |
A small headed metal fastener having a coaxial cylindrical or tapered hole which does not exceed 112% of the mean shank diameter in the end opposite the head. Truss Head- The head is approximately twice the diameter of the rivet body. Oval Head- The head is approximately 50% wider than the diameter of the rivet body. Flat Head- The rivets head is countersunk at an angle of 120°. |
|
Applications / Advantages |
Easier to clinch than solid rivets. The hole reduces riveting forces for riveting tooling, while the remaining clinched solid shank can provide comparable shear strengths to other common riveting products. The fastener is installed with a riveting hammer. Truss Head- It is chosen when the rivet is seated in soft material to prevent it from pulling through. Oval Head- It is popular because of its low profile head and neat finished appearance.. Flat Head- The 120° countersunk head provides a smooth offside surface and sufficient clearance for moving parts which pass over the rivet head.. |
