100 x Black Aluminium Rivets, Dome Headed 3.2 x 8mm Blind Pop Rivet

Product Information

Rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners designed to hold two or more metal or other materials together. Upon installation of solid rivets, the headless end of the rivet is beaten out or pressed down to keep the fastener securely in place. Rivets provide several advantages, making them an ideal fastening solution compared to other fastening methods. As permanent fasteners, rivets are less prone to failure due to vibration than other threaded fasteners. Rivets are available in several styles and material options, including blind rivets, copper belt rivets, plastic snap rivets, and more. Some of the more popular rivets include the following styles: Although limitations to rivets exist, there are still many great applications across various industries: aircraft construction and sheet metal fabricators still often employ riveted joints because they are nearly immune to loosening with vibration. The RV industry uses riveting techniques to fasten materials like plastic, plywood and aluminum together–try doing that with a welded joint sometime. Further, if the proper precautions are taken, rivets can be waterproof making them the fastener of choice in many shipbuilding applications. Rivets provide a solution for joining dissimilar materials together, including nonmetallic materials like plastics, wood, and more. Riveting is relatively inexpensive compared to other fastening methods, particularly for high-volume applications. Additional rivet benefits include:

Threaded insert and rivet nuts which are applied like a classic rivet integrate seamless, strong, and permanent threading in fragile sheet materials Split or bifurcated rivets are similar in shape to solid rivets except that the tail end of the shaft is split, allowing a special wedge tool to be used to expand the two “legs” once the rivet is inserted through the two pieces of material. Split rivets require access to both sides of the material and are typically used in softer plastics, heavy fabric and leatherwork. Tubular Rivet In the DIY world, by far the most popular type of rivet is the pop rivet, mainly because it can be used when you only have access to one side of your work. The biggest downside? Unless you feel like taking a drill to your shiny new project, that rivet is permanent. Jay-Cee is proud to supply our customers with the rivets you need. As a global distributor of premium fastening products, Jay-Cee is large enough to manage your global fastening needs while providing personalized support for your small projects. Our priority is to ensure you have the best fasteners you need for your application. Tubular (or semi-tubular) rivets resemble a solid rivet with a hole drilled partway through the tail end of the shaft. They are installed in the same way as solid rivets–with access to both sides of the fastener being required–but only require about a quarter of the force to set the rivet. Because the tubular rivets only deform at the hollow end, rather than throughout the length of the shaft, they can be used for pivot joints. Flush Rivet

This is the great-granddaddy of all other rivets, consisting of a simple shank or shaft with a head at one end. Solid rivets come in various profiles to fit the application; the pan head, the domed head, the low profile mushroom head (no, we aren’t making things up), and the flat head. The solid rivet is sturdy and no-nonsense, and very few fastening methods are as consistent in their ability to hold two materials together. Blind Rivet Used with coloured metal sheets, particularly cladding sheets for industrial and agricultural buildings.

Snap Rivets are supplied pre-assembled and simply push into the required holes providing a fast and neat solution. Nylon Rivet Snaps Nylon Rivet Snapsare special rivets designed for light-duty fastening applications. Nylon rivet snaps are often used to join plastic sheets, fiberglass, and composition materials.

Another benefit of SendCutSend inserted hardware, along with our tapping service, is that they are always installed square (or perpendicular to the mounting surface). This is particularly difficult to accomplish in the home shop without specialized equipment. For an in-depth look at each type of fastener and how best to use it, take a look at our article on Designing with Sheet Metal. Limitations of Using Rivets vs. PEM Fasteners Time All types of blind rivets, including dome head rivets, are fitted by inserting the body into a drilled or punched hole. Then, the mandrel (also known as a stem) is pulled by the jaws of the setting tool. This compresses the body of the rivet, causing it to expand radially. As it compresses further, it clamps the sheet materials together. For a deeper dive into each of our PEM fasteners, and additional insight into how you can use them in your next build, take a look at the Hardware Guidelines, and Best Practices writeups. Material Selection for Hardware Installation Rivets and rivet nuts are used extensively in manufacturing and industrial applications. Rivets provide a low-profile solution for permanent fastening, making them ideal fasteners for applications that require a smooth finish. Rivets are popular fasteners within the following industries:

Tubular Rivets have a shank hole within the shaft of the rivet and are available with different head styles such as the oval, button, flat and countersunk. Blind Rivets Blind rivetsare tubular fasteners with a mandrel through the center, designed to be inserted into predrilled holes. These rivets utilize a specialized tool that draws the mandrel through the body of the rivet, creating a secure hold. Solid rivets, or the original rivet. These solid fasteners resist water, vibration, tampering, and other severe conditions.In most cases, rivets require a pre-drilled set of holes that line up perfectly in the workpieces. Although this isn’t a problem when you make your parts with our precision lasers, it also involves selecting the correct rivets and in many cases, purchasing specialized equipment to install them. Labor If high strength is critical, high carbon steel solid rivets can be used, which require heating to “cherry red” temperature and then setting with a pneumatic rivet tool.

If you’ve ever worked with pop rivets, you know that whether it’s user error, component variability, or misalignment, there can be significant variability in the quality rivet-to-rivet. Applications of Rivets and Fasteners PEM standoffs installed by SendCutSend add the ability to space two workpieces a fixed distance from one another, which is something a rivet really can’t do well. Standoffs are often used to space a printed circuit board off of the base plate, but can be used to allow airflow between two parts, or many other applications.Full Sets Double Cap Rivets--Rainbow---Leather Rivet Setter Rivet Press Rivet Tool Rivet For Jeans Double Side Rivets Leather Rivets Bags When determining the distance between two or more fasteners, you can calculate the distance by the formula, C/L to edge + 1/2 the diameter of the second mounting hole. When specifying PEM fasteners in your sheet metal from us, the amount of work per fastener is reduced to the time it takes to thread a nut or bolt. Consistency Although rivets definitely have seniority in the wide world of fasteners, our hardware selection, which includes nuts, studs and standoffs offers a wider range of potential applications. Not only that, but because they employ a threaded joint, PEM hardware is completely removable if your application doesn’t call for a permanent joint. Installed fasteners, like rivets, are also extremely vibration resistant, which allows them to be used in automotive and other repetitive motion applications. Used in a multitude of industries such as aerospace, automotive, rail, HVAC, white goods, electronics, and general engineering. DIY, roofing, windows, cladding and construction.
