How does a blind rivet stud work?

A blind rivet stud is a combination of a blind rivet nut and a stud that are joined by laser welding or crimping.

Blind rivet studs are essentially set using the identical setting principle as for the blind rivet nuts. The same tools can therefore be used.

The threaded mandrels of the setting tools must be replaced with threaded sleeves having the matching inside thread.

The sleeve inserted into the prepared bore is deformed by the tool stroke and thus ensures a tight fit in the part. Knurled types or sleeves with hexagonal shank are available to decrease the risk of fastener rotation in the hole.

The setting process

1. RIFBOLT blind rivet stud before setting

2. Screwing into the threaded sleeve of the setting tool

3. Insertion of the rivet sleeve into the hole in the part

4. Riveting by the stroke of the setting tool

5. Spindling of the blind rivet stud

6. Fitted RIFBOLT blind rivet stud

HONSEL manufactures both parts in-house and can thus guarantee quick and flexible implementation of individual solutions.
