How do you fasten something when you do not have access to the back of the item you are fastening to? Sometimes you just cannot reach, or it is hidden under machinery and simply unaccessible.
This is the
beauty of POP® technology. "Blind Setting"
allows for fastening from the front, and the POP®
line of products has solved numerous industrial problems
since it's creation. From the standard rivet, to threaded
inserts and POP® Rivetools, explore POP® for
your application today.
Advantages
of "Blind" POP Rivets
The ability to set POP® rivets without the
need for access at the back of the work makes their
use mandatory in many instances. However, their many
additional advantages make POP rivets the logical choice
in numerous applications where the blind setting feature
is not of primary importance, such as:
- Low in-place costs
- Fast assembly
- Low-cost, lightweight, easily portable tools
- Vibration-proof assembly
- No surface marring
- Exceptional versatility
- High grip and pull-up strengths
- Tamperproof
- Increased design flexibility
How They Work
A
blind POP rivet consist of two parts: the rivet body,
and within, the setting mandrel.
- The POP rivet body is inserted in a hole in the
materials to be joined.
- The tool is actuated and the jaws of the power-operated
or manual POP® rivetool grip the mandrel of the
rivet.
- The rivet is set by pulling the mandrel head into
the rivet body, expanding it, and forming a strong,
tight, reliable joint. At a predetermined setting
force, the mandrel breaks and falls away.
