A Quick Guide to the Types of Rivets

Image
Welcome to the expansive world of rivets . A rivet is a highly effective mechanical fastener comprised of a cylindrical stem on one end and the head on the other. As leaders in fastening technology, Bossard offers years of experience and knowledge designed to help you confidently make the best fastening decision for your application. Let’s take a closer look at three main types of rivets:  Blind Rivets  Blind Rivet Nuts  Lock Bolts  Blind Rivets   Also known as break stem rivets, blind rivets are simply tubular fasteners with a mandrel in the middle. To apply blind rivets, they must be inserted into pre-drilled holes in the parts that are to be joined with a special tool that draws the mandrel through the rivet’s body. Then the blind end will expand, and the mandrel will be snapped off.  One of the most desirable attributes of blind rivets is they only require a one-sided exit. This is a massive benefit because most fastening solutions will require a two-...

Benefits of Speed Rivets

Image
Everyone wants the tool that is going to streamline their processes. Fortunately, Bossard’s semi-automatic fastening system utilized with Speed Rivets is one of those invaluable tools.  Speed Rivets are designed for a rapid installation, perfect for quickly fastening different materials and thicknesses. Electronic applications, vehicle construction, household appliances and metal cabinets are among the different applications that Speed Rivets are ideal for.  How It Works  Speed Rivets are pre-loaded on a mandrel, where they’ll be introduced into the nose of the riveting tool for continuous fastening up to 70 rivets per minute.  Tool actuation pulls the mandrel through the rivet, expanding it within the hole. This provides high clamping capability and secure joints. With controlled wear and tear of the disposable mandrel head used for the rivet expansion, rigorous clamping of all rivets is achieved.  The standard Speed rivet is capable of achieving high clampi...

Fastening Solutions for Electrical Cabinet Applications

Image
Fastening solutions for electrical cabinet applications are designed to secure and protect electrical components within an electrical cabinet. There are several types of fastening solutions, including: Screws : Screws are the most common type of fastening solution and are used to secure panels, covers, and other components within an electrical cabinet. There are various types of screws, including self-tapping screws, machine screws, and wood screws. Nuts and Bolts : Nuts and bolts are also widely used in electrical cabinet applications. They provide a secure and durable connection between two components and are often used in high-load applications. Rivets : Rivets are fasteners that are used to join two components together. They are often used in applications where access to the backside of the components is not possible. Adhesives: Adhesives are another fastening solution that can be used in electrical cabinet applications . They are ideal for attaching small components, s...

Importance of Choosing the Right Fastener

Image
When looking for the right fasteners to incorporate into your design, there are many different things to keep in mind. Having a brief knowledge of fastener technology is just the beginning of choosing the correct one for your design. All fasteners are not designed equal, as they shouldn’t be, because they have many different uses. From children’s toys to airplanes, fasteners are utilized everywhere. But what fastener categories are right for your design and product? Fasteners may seem to be a small piece of the puzzle when you look at the overall design process. However, even though they may be a small component, they are very significant. If fasteners are left for last when designing, this can often lead to the need for “special” fasteners which are not common and/or readily available. Using these fasteners could result in a shorter lifetime for your product or future failures and performance issues. It is important to keep certain things in mind when determining which fastene...
