Blind rivets, also known as blind rivets, are fasteners used to join two or more materials together with restricted access to the other side. There are many different types of blind rivets available, including:
Dome Head Blind Rivets: These rivets have a rounded dome-shaped head and are typically used in general-purpose applications.
Countersunk Head Blind Rivets: These rivets have a flat head and tapered base and are designed to sit flush with or below the surface of the material being fastened. They are typically used when a smooth appearance is desired.
Large Flange Blind Rivets: These rivets have wider heads and a larger load-bearing surface, providing greater strength and pull-through resistance. They are ideal for use with soft or brittle materials.
Strip Blind Rivets: Strip rivets have bifurcated tails that expand on the blind side of the application to create a larger load-bearing surface. They are often used in applications where structural integrity is critical.
Multi-clip Blind Rivets: Multi-clip rivets have a unique design that allows them to adapt to a variety of material thicknesses. They offer versatility and can reduce inventory requirements.
Structural Blind Rivets: Structural rivets, such as ball-head and groove-type rivets, are designed for load-bearing applications requiring high shear strength and vibration resistance.
Closed Blind Rivets: Closed rivets create a sealed, blind-side joint, making them suitable for applications where water or air tightness is important.
These are just a few examples of the different types of blind rivets on the market. Each type has its own unique features and is suitable for specific applications. The correct type of blind rivet must be selected based on the fastening material, required strength and environmental conditions.
