Hand-Driven Rivet

The diameter and length of the rivet are determined by calculation. The length is selected depending on the thickness of the elements being joined and the shape of the closing head.

Applications

Hand-driven rivets are widely used: instrument making and mechanical engineering, joining thin sheet-metal structures, finishing of clothing, bags and similar products. If access to the back of the joint is not possible, hand rivet guns are used, which also increases processing speed.

Fasteners for hand riveting differ in design depending on the riveting method:

• using a hand rivet gun;
• by hand, using a hammer.

Features

Hand-driven rivets are made of lightweight aluminium, stainless steel, or metals with subsequent zinc plating. This provides protection against moisture and dirt getting into the joint areas of the elements.
