Self Piercing Rivets
A self piercing rivet joins two or more layers of material by piercing the top layer of material and then flaring out at the bottom layer, forming a mechanical interlocked structural joint.
As the name suggests pre drilled pilot holes are not required, allowing a rapid, strong, fastening solution that would suit numerous applications.
Here at Aerobolt we can help with all your self piercing rivet requirements from a hand held tool through to an automated manufacturing system.
Currently we have a hand held self piercing tool for hire. Please contact us.
Self piercing rivets pierce and fasten in one operation, unlike conventional rivets you don’t have to drill a hole prior to installing a rivet. Great for high volume repetitive work. Contact us for further information.
