Types of Rivet

Types of Rivet in the market.

1. SOLID (Round Head Rivet)

Solid rivets are among the simplest, most reliable, and oldest types of fasteners. Solid rivets consist simply of a shaft and head that are deformed with a hammer or rivet gun. Solid rivets are used in applications where reliability and safety count. A typical application for solid rivets can be found within the structural parts of aircraft. Hundreds of thousands of solid rivets are used to assemble the frame of a modern aircraft. Rivets are made of metal bar or metal bundle.
Solid Rivet can be of iron, stainless steel, braze.
Solid rivet head types: Round head, Flat head, Countersunkhead, Truss head, Pan head, Universal Head

2. SEMI-TUBULAR RIVET

There many variants in Semi-Tubular Rivet. Semi-tubular rivets (also known as Hollow rivets) are the same as solid rivets, but with a shallow hole opposite side of the head of rivet. This hole causes the tubular portion of the rivet (around the hole) to roll outward when force is applied. This reduces the amount of force needed for installation—tubular rivets require roughly ¼ the force of solid rivets.

3. BLIND RIVET

Blind rivet is also known as POP rivet.
There are several common types of blind rivets each with its own advantages. The most common are:
1.Standard 2.Sealed 3.Multi-grip.

How does blind rivet works?
Blind rivets are installed in a tight hole that passes through the materials being riveted. A riveter is used to pull the mandrel back while holding the rivet in place. As the mandrel is pulled back it deforms the rivet pushing the sides outward until the mandrel snaps. This expanded size forms the back side of the rivet holding the materials together.

Rivet Machine Information

There are many types of rivet machine available in the market let us know first what is rivet why it is used and what kinds of machine are used for production.

You might had heard many other rivet machine named as hollow rivet, tubular rivet machine, Semi  Tubuler Marchine, Header machine,  so on.

There are four types of rivet - Tubular, blind, split and solid rivet.

Let us know first what is rivet is used for. If you see around you inside or office, house you may see lots of things where rivet is used. If you are kitchen or bedroom rivets are used in utensils, lids, cupboards, etc. not only this you may find it in on daily used things such as bags, wallets, belts. Rivets has different shape and sizes.

What is Rivet?

Rivets are used as fastener in mechanical industries. It is less costly and effective way of joining a 2-3 structure or more. According to the requirement, rivets are available in many shapes and sizes and design.

Design Classification of rivet:

Solid Rivet, Round Head Rivet, Countersunk Head Rivet, Oval Countersunk Head Rivet, Blind Rivet. A metal pin for passing through holes in two or more plates or pieces to hold them together Rivet is used. a rivet consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite to the head is called the tail.

What is Rivet Machine ?

Hollow rivet machine is a heavy duty machine.
Below is a video of hollow rivet machine also called as tubular machine. You may get this kind of machines in many states such us Mumbai, Maharashtra, Punjab, Gujarat so on. Solid rivet. hollow rivet, pop rivet machines looks almost same there are few parts of machine which are designed separately as per the production and requirement. Every rivet machine has die as per the rivet size material.

Here is a link for rivet making machine video. For more details follow the youtube channel to get more detailed videos.

Rivet production is highly used product in market. One may can run a factory of rivet production with multiple types of rivet in different shapes and sizes. As you know rivets are used in multiple things around us. So rivet demands never end. If you talk about costing of machinery it may very upon quality of machine and size of rivet product also depend upon the seller as per the states.

Here is a video of Header Machine / Hollow rivet (semi tubular) machine manufacturing.
