Case Study/Application
POP Rivet Designed
especially for plastics and other brittle or soft materials, this POP
rivet has a secondary head that forms large,"folds".
This provides a larger bearing surface, resists pull-through or cracking
that can occur in some materials with a standard rivet.
This range of aluminium rivets with aluminium mandrels is designed to
offer two particular advantages in joining soft, friable or brittle materials.
Its controlled setting gives outstanding reliability and it produces a
neat, uniform appearance.
Features
- Clamping loads spread over wide area, avoiding damage to vulnerable
materials
- Tolerance of over-sized holes
- Corrosion-resistance
- High-strength aluminium 3.5% magnesium alloy
- Sets with standard
'POP®' hand riveting tools
- Limited number of lengths needed because of wide grip range - up to
12.0mm
Case Study/Applications 'POP®' LSR is perfectly
suited to plastics, wood, GRP, laminates and thin gauge materials. It
has an important role to play in, for instance, applications such as
the assembly of mobile homes and park homes, installation of plastic-framed
windows or the manufacture of plywood furniture or timber products such
as trailers. This rivet should be selected whenever the materials to be fastened are
so soft or brittle that the tensile force exerted by a conventional rivet
would cause damage. Alternatively, use the Soft Set Rivet where smaller
secondary head is desired. (This product may
be application sensitive. Consult with your POP® Fasteners
representative regarding your specific application.) |
