A rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end and a tail on the other. The shaft contains an internal mandrel that, when drawn, causes the rivet tail to deform. This deformation expands the tail to securely fill the drilled or punched hole, creating a tight bond held in place by friction and compression.
Rivets are favoured for their ability to create secure, permanent joints that cannot easily be tampered with or loosened. These fasteners are ideal for applications where long-lasting and reliable connections are essential.
Applications of Rivets
Rivets are widely used across various industries due to their versatility and robustness
- Joining structural components
- Fastening sheet metal and panels
- Securing electrical components
Albert Jagger’s range of rivets ensures fast, clean and efficient installation.
Fastainer
Fastainer rivets are the ultimate solution for GRP panels, offering high shear strength and a watertight bond, making them ideal for environments where moisture control is critical. An internal locked step enhances tamper resistance, preventing the rivet from coming undone. The sealing washers are colour coded for easy identification of grip ranges.
Blind Bolt
Blind bolts, also known as pop rivets or blind rivets, are used in structural applications where safety and performance are key. With multi-grip capability, one rivet can replace multiple standard grip fasteners, saving both time and material costs. These rivets are ideal for applications where access is limited to one side.
Griptainer
Griptainers offer controlled clamp force, making them ideal for applications that require precise control. Unlike other fasteners. Griptainer rivets are reuseable, reducing waste and promote a more sustainable manufacturing process. Additionally, they don’t require expensive tooling, making them a cost-effective choice.
Dome Head
Oscar rivets are specialised dome head rivets, similar to blind rivets but with a unique feature where the shaft splits and folds out when the mandrel is drawn. These rivets are ideal for applications involving high vibrations where the rear surface in inaccessible.
Albert Jaggers comprehensive range of rivets is engineered to provide reliable, strong, and permanent fastening solutions for a wide range of applications. Whether you need a solution for metal panels, composite materials, or high vibration environments, Albert Jagger’s rivets are the trusted solution.
