RIVKLE® B2007 – Cordless setting tool for processing RIVKLE® blind rivet nuts and studs (M 3 to M 10)

Manual and automated processing tools

Create threads in thin-walled components

RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts and RIVSTUD® blind rivet studs are versatile solutions for fastening a load-bearing nut or bolt thread to thin-walled components where cut threads are not an option due to insufficient wall thickness. To ensure optimal processing, we offer a wide range of tools – from manual to automated.

Method and principle

RIVNUT® processing technology

Setting process using the example of the spindle stroke method

Here the RIVNUT® blind rivet nut or RIVSTUD® blind rivet stud is spun on, compressed and then spun off.

Your advantage: a faster and easier process.

RIVNUT® blind rivet nuts The riveting process

Stroke-controlled riveting

The product tables in our RIVNUT® catalogues are guidelines for adjusting the setting stroke S that should be used with a particular RIVNUT® blind rivet nut or RIVSTUD® stud for optimal riveting.

Your advantage: A faster and easier process.

 

Pressure-controlled riveting

With the stroke-controlled method, the riveting tool generates maximum riveting pressure over the entire operating range. In some cases this results in blind rivet nuts and studs being fastened too tightly or too loosely, due to different component thicknesses.

This phenomenon is prevented with the pressure-controlled method, since the riveting pressure is generated and controlled independently of workpiece thickness.

Your advantages: optimized riveting in workpieces of different thicknesses and repeated setting of a RIVNUT® element is possible. With pressure-controlled riveting, service life of the mandrels increases.
