A punch rivet features a perpendicular free end and axial ribs to pierce composite workpieces and form a secure mechanical interlock.
A blind rivet nut plunges its threaded section into a deformation zone to seal bores, resolving the trade-off between thread strength and sealing reliability.
Segmented mandrel shaft with securing groove captures flowing sleeve material, preventing breakage across varying workpiece thicknesses.
Positive fit connections between the mandrel and shank bypass the breaking point, preventing premature mandrel failure during tilted drilling operations.
