Blind rivet studs
HONSEL is one of the pioneers in the development of the blind rivet stud (also known as blind rivet bolt) and has built up vast know-how during the handling of a large number of industrial projects and has established innovations on the market.
Today, the standard range is manufactured exclusively as a high-quality crimped version. “Crimping” is a joining method in which two components are joined together by plastic deformation – in this case squeezing.
How does blind rivet studs work?
Blind rivet threaded studs principally work in the same way as blind rivet nuts. It is only necessary to replace the threaded mandrels of the setting device with threaded sleeves (interior threads).
The sleeve of the blind rivet stud is inserted into the prepared borehole and deformed by the stroke of the tool. Knurled types or versions with (partial) hexagonal shaft are available to decrease the danger of the fasteners rotation in the hole.
