... the DIN 7337 Standard defines only a few characteristics of blind rivets: Rivet Body Diameter, Diameter of the installation hole, minimum Shear and Tensile, as well as grip range and combination of materials.
For its standard range of blind rivets, Gesipa offers following additionnal features:
1. All mandrels are long enough for the rivet to be set with a nosepiece extension of up to 10 mm.
2. All mandrels are zinc plated. This ensures clean work and low maintenance time for the tools.
3. The mandrel breaking
point is located in accordance wirh the length of the rivet body:
The longer the rivet, the longer the mandrel remaining in the rivet body
after setting. This ensures mandrel break and extraction with a single
tool action and simultaneously increases the shear resistance.
