Blind Rivets Overview
Blind rivets are tubular and are supplied with a mandrel through the center. The rivet assembly is inserted into a hole drilled through the parts to be joined, and a specially designed tool is used to draw the mandrel into the rivet. This expands the blind end of the rivet, and then the mandrel snaps off.
We manufacture blind rivets to IFI Standards. Unlike solid rivets, blind rivets can be inserted and fully installed in a joint from only one side of a part or structure, "blind" to the opposite side. Due to this feature, blind rivets are mainly used when access to the joint is only available from one side. The rivet is placed in a pre-drilled hole and is set by pulling the mandrel head into the rivet body, expanding it, and causing it to flare against the reverse side. They are available in various head styles with standard diameters of 1/8, 5/32, and 3/16 inches. Blind rivets are made from soft aluminum alloy, steel (including stainless steel), copper, and Monel.
Open-end blind rivets are tubular rivets with a mandrel through the center. The entire rivet assembly is inserted into a hole drilled through the parts to be joined, and a specially designed tool is used to draw the mandrel into the rivet. This expands the blind end of the rivet and snaps off the mandrel. Juxin Enterprise has Rivet stocks an extensive inventory of open-end blind rivets.

There is always an optimum solution to the question of what material and styles should be considered when selecting the appropriate riveting system. The rivet assembly, both body and mandrel, can be of the same material or a composite of two different materials. Among the materials we manufacture are aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper, and more. Please get in touch with us if you need assistance determining the proper combination of materials. Your application will choose the most appropriate rivet head style to be used. The Domed Head is the most versatile and commonly specified. This style will provide the bearing surface to retain all but the incredibly soft or brittle materials.
In contrast, the Large Flange rivets have twice the under-head bearing surface of comparable domed head rivets. They are designed for applications where weak or brittle materials must be assembled into a rigid backing material. The Countersunk rivet has an a120° head design and is specified whenever a flush surface is required.
Channel Material: If the tool does not reach the bottom of a channel material, use an extended nosepiece (A). The maximum application diameter of the extended nosepiece is the same as that of the rivet flange. The total length is 20mm. In this case, use a long mandrel rivet. If method (A) is not applicable, set the rivet from the opposite side (B). In (C), a standard rivet tool can be used.
Gap Fastening
Brand Rivets are widely used to assemble extruded sections because of the limited access and clearances. As shown in (A), avoid setting against unsupported internal sections, which results in poor rigidity. Select (B) to ensure success.
Plastic Material
Select soft set aluminum rivets (A), large flange rivets (B), Peel rivets (C), or LSR rivets (D) according to the strength of the resin workpiece. The standard types are also applicable to high-strength resin material.
Fastening in Blind Hole
Taking advantage of the swollen rivet diameter after setting, it is possible to apply the rivet to a straight-through hole (A) or a blind hole (B).
Pivot Fastening
When it is required to rotate a fastener part, use a pivot nosepiece to provide a small gap.
Edge Distance: A distance of two times the rivet diameter (D) or more from the river center to the end of the workpiece is recommended to avoid material fracture.
Galvanic Compatibility of Various Metals When two metals are in electrical contact with an electrolyte, galvanic corrosion is possible. Metals farthest apart in a galvanic series will corrode most rapidly. Galvanic corrosion may be produced by two entirely different metals or two similar metals differing only slightly in chemical composition or physical condition. To help prevent corrosion cells from forming, all cracks, crevices, sharp bends, scale, and other surface deposits between interface areas should be avoided when possible.
Tensile/Shear:
Performance The tensile and shear figures quoted indicate the rivet's performance. Actual performance will depend on workpiece material type and thickness.
Hole Size
This is the minimum recommended diameter of the drilled/punched hole, which should be burr-free.
Joint Strength
First, assess the tensile and shear loads the riveted joint must withstand. The correct number and spacing of fastenings with a body of the correct diameter and material will achieve this performance specification. As a guide to spacing, the distance between rivet centers should ideally be three times the body diameter. Depending upon joint Load, this factor can be increased or decreased, but testing is recommended before final production commitments are made. Rivets should also be set at a minimum of two diameters away from the edge of the work. Actual performance will depend on component materials and thicknesses.
Joint Thickness
Having identified a rivet of the correct strength, calculate the combined thickness of the components to be joined. An allowance should be included for any intermediate layer, such as a sealant, and any gap between materials before setting. Then select the rivet length accommodating the calculated "grip."
Recommended Grip Range
This is the recommended thickness range over which the body length consistently provides a good setting in a hole of the specified diameter.
Robust, low-cost fastenings.

Open-end rivets are hollow blind rivets pre-assembled onto a headed pin or mandrel. When set, open-end rivets resemble conventional tubular rivets, but unlike tubular rivets, the mandrel head is retained within the body of the rivet. These large-flange rivets give a wide load spread and are available in aluminum and nickel-copper alloys. The nickel-copper option is particularly suited for marine and other corrosive atmospheres. Providing solid and low-cost fastenings, Open-end rivets do well in most industrial riveting applications where materials to be fastened do not have high load-bearing requirements.
The design of the stem head ensures positive retention after installation
Wide range of diameters.
Wide range of lengths suitable for material thicknesses up to 26mm.
Countersunk (120°) heads are available.
Break-head mandrels are available in most sizes.
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Fully sealed fastening! Our exclusive Closed-End rivet design is ideal for applications that need watertight or when stem retention is paramount. This blind rivet produces a seal that prevents the passage of liquid or vapor at pressures up to 100 psi. The seal is possible thanks to a unique cup-shaped end configuration, which prevents vapor or liquid from getting around or through the set rivet. Our Closed-End blind sealing rivets provide up to 23% greater tensile strength than equivalent open-end rivets. Plus, closed-end rivets provide 100% mandrel retention, which can be essential in applications such as electric and electronic equipment. This rivet type is available with a dome or countersunk head style in various material combinations, including stainless steel.

Our Micro rivets are an excellent fastener choice wherever space is a consideration. Our Micro rivets are 2mm aluminum open-end rivets designed for small micro-electronics applications. Designed with printed circuit board manufacturers and assemblers in mind, Micro rivets are some of the most miniature blind break stem rivets available anywhere. Micro rivets are blind rivets inserted and set from one side of the workpiece. They deliver low in-place cost and fast assembly. Correct setting pressure is predetermined by the rivet design, so sets are uniform and independent of operator judgments or tool torque. They are not subject to strip-out and will not deform work pieces.
Tiny rivet.
Works well in tight areas or where space is a premium.
Ideal for thin sheet metal and printed circuit boards.
Shallow secondary side.
Low head height.
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Popular in electronics applications.
Our proprietary Pull-Thru rivets are ideal when minimal clearance and a flush set to the application surface are required on both sides. Our PT rivet uniquely solves these issues. As the PT rivet sets, the mandrel head remains integral with the mandrel, assuring no loose mandrel heads in the assembled product. The PT rivet is a steel countersunk blind fastener designed to set the surface flush on both sides of an application (blind side protrusion < 0.4mm/0.015").PT rivets are widely used in the electronics industry, where space is at a premium. However, they also lend themselves to many low-clearance industrial applications, like car sunroofs, automotive speakers, home cabinet drawers, and refrigerator drawers, among many other uses. Installation using our Automated Riveting System facilitates a cycle time as fast as 2 seconds.
Flush set on both sides of the application.
Insertion can be reversed, improving rivet tool access.
Unique "Pull-Thru" mandrel. No loose stem heads remain in the application.
Consistent clamp force
A tight radial set provides increased structural rigidity.
Colored mandrels allow for quick visual identification of different part sizes.
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Assembly applications include electronics, automotive, auto tier, and home & appliance.
Almost identical in appearance to our regular open-end rivets, Soft-Set rivets incorporate a body and mandrel of special soft aluminum alloy. Breaking at a lower tensile point than regular mandrels, they afford a firm grip but provide the more moderate pressure essential in fastening more brittle materials.
