Riveting technology

RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts

Resilient threads on thin-walled components with RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts and studs.

Load-bearing threads on thin-walled components

Highly resilient

RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts and studs reliably join thin-walled components. Do your components also have thin walls that prevent the use of pre-cut threads? This is where you can use RIVKLE® load-bearing nut or stud threads. Various versions and sizes provide the perfect solution for every application.

Plus factors

Advantages of RIVKLE®

One-side assembly

Simple blind assembly. Often the only solution for hollow bodies, housing or components with access from one side only.
Flexible application

Perfect for every stage of production. No reworking required by your production department after insertion, even for parts that are already coated or painted.
No thermal stress

Unlike when using weld nuts, the workpiece is not impaired by heat.

Method and principle

Using rivets instead of welding

RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts and studs offer versatile solutions for fastening resilient nut/bolt threads to thin-walled components or hollow sections. They are very easy to assemble without counter pressure (i.e. “blind”) in all metal materials, plastics and even in ceramic components. This process is particularly safe since there is no risk of burning and it does not generate harmful steam or gases.

Stainless steel: resistant to corrosion and temperature

Head shapes

Flat head

Countersunk head

Extra thin head

End types

Open

Closed

End shapes

Round and plain

Round and knurled

Hexagonal shank

Partial hexagonal shank
RIVKLE® Stainless steel
Advantages

Optimised corrosion resistance

Optimised temperature resistance
RIVKLE® SFC
You can use RIVKLE® SFC, Smart For Composite, to insert load-bearing threads in plastics and composite materials without damaging them.

Working principle

The basic principle is that the load is specifically distributed in the direction of the thread axle with no radial stress.

Versions

RIVKLE® SFC is available in various versions in steel and stainless steel (A4).
RIVKLE® Seal Ring
To protect your assemblies from external influences, RIVKLE® Seal Ring technology ensures a tight seal against all fluids and gases.

Advantages

The seal is securely bonded to the RIVKLE® blind rivet nut. It remains in place under all circumstances, including during automatic setting with a blow feed unit

Tightness in compliance with standard ISO 20653, specification IPX7

UV resistance and temperature resistance up to 220°C

Resistance to all fluids (oils, hydrocarbons, etc.)
RIVKLE® HRT
Our high-strength RIVKLE® HRT (high resistance thread) blind rivet nuts provide an extremely strong load-bearing thread which considerably improves the mechanical properties of the blind rivet nut.

Versions

Steel and aluminium

Advantages compared to RIVKLE® Standard

Higher tightening torques permit higher preload forces in the joint

Smaller sizes possible

Reduced weight

Corrosion-resistant and recyclable, particularly in aluminium components (RIVKLE® HRT Aluminium)
RIVKLE® Seal Ring Aluminium HRT
The RIVKLE® Seal Ring Aluminium HRT technology is the latest generation solution for battery tray joining, meeting the most demanding requirements.

Advantages
Significant weight savings through its aluminium design (2.5 times lighter than a steel fastener, with equivalent design)
Ideal for electrical environments as there is no risk of metal oxidation due to its aluminium construction.
Aluminium/aluminium joints can be easily recycled, eliminating the need to separate materials
RIVKLE® PN with slotted shank
Versions

Steel (aluminium and stainless steel on request)

Advantages compared to RIVKLE® Standard

High pull-out forces

RIVKLE® PN has the largest clamping range of all blind rivet nuts for variable material thicknesses

Large clamping range to reinforce workpiece

Low radial stresses during setting prevent excessive loading of the component

Low radial stresses in the component
RIVKLE® Blind rivet studs

RIVKLE® blind rivet studs allow you to prefix the screw-on component to the carrier component. This is particularly helpful for heavy or large parts or with concealed assembly (“hang on” assembly). Our blind rivet studs are available in different versions
