Gesipa Blind rivet.5,0x16 F Alu (500)

Gesipa blind rivets ensure a durable and secure joining of various materials, including sensitive ones. The blind riveting technology from Gesipa has become indispensable in many modern industrial productions where connection technology is required, thanks to its cost-effectiveness and versatility. It combines advantages such as overcoming limited accessibility of components, securely joining a wide range of materials, including delicate ones, and even documenting the setting process if desired.

From a technical perspective, the blind rivet consists of two components: the hollow rivet and the rivet mandrel. While screws, clinching, and punched rivets require access to both sides of the component, the unique feature of the blind rivet is that only one-sided accessibility is necessary.

During the setting process, the rivet mandrel is pulled with the jaws of the setting tool, deforming the hollow rivet until it reaches a predefined, secure fit in the component. Finally, the mandrel breaks off at the designated point, the predetermined breaking point, and the remaining mandrel can be sent for recycling. The remaining mandrel is the part of the mandrel that stays in the hollow rivet and can serve an additional securing function depending on the application.

Blind rivets come in various designs, materials, shapes, lengths, and colors. Depending on the task a blind rivet is intended to fulfill, Gesipa offers a choice between a standard model available from stock or a blind rivet specifically designed for a particular application.
