blind rivets

blind rivets also known as pop rivets, are mechanical fasteners used to join materials when access to the back side of the work is limited or impossible. They consist of a rivet body (or sleeve) and a mandrel (or stem) that is inserted into the body. When installed, the mandrel is pulled, causing the blind end of the rivet body to expand and deform, creating a secure joint. The mandrel then breaks off, leaving the rivet in place.

Expansion and clamping:

n

n
nAs the mandrel is pulled, it deforms the blind end of the rivet body, causing it to expand and create a tight connection with the surrounding material.

Blind side access:

n

n
nThe key advantage of blind rivets is that they can be installed with access to only one side of the work, making them ideal for applications where the back side is inaccessible, such as within enclosed structures or on curved surfaces.
