Rivet Technology
As part of STANLEY® Engineered Fastening, Avdel® offers a wide range of different tooling systems, blind rivet fasteners, speed blind rivet fasteners, and lockbolts in various materials and surfaces.
Avdel® fasteners reliably connect two parts also in situations where access to the connecting materials is only possible from one side and regardless of the material they are made of. Whether you are dealing with steel, plastic, or other materials with different strengths and thicknesses, Avdel® ensures a secure hold.
Avdel® blind rivets are divided into structural and non-structural types. Other fastening types are Speed Blind Fasteners, Lockbolts, Blind Rivet Nuts and the corresponding Tools and Systems.
For almost every assembly task, Avdel® provides a suitable blind rivet.
Avdel® structural rivets are made for the highest demands due to their high resistance against shear and tensile forces. Even large components can be permanently connected without distortion. Avdel® structural blind fastener solutions include:
Avdel® non-structural rivets are made for connections that must be done from the blind side – fast, safe, and without high requirements regarding resistance against shear and tensile force. The essence of non-structural blind rivet systems is to join different materials which vary in strength and composition. Avdel® gives you the flexibility to meet a wide range of requirements to ensure an optimal connection. Their non-structural blind fastener solutions include:
Avdel® speed rivets offer a unique assembly system designed for fast and reliable fastening of metals, plastics, composites, and passive electronic components in mid- and high-volume applications. They are available in a broad choice of materials, finishes, lengths, and diameters. Avdel® speed blind fastener solutions include:
Avdel® lockbolt systems are designed for high-strength, secure assembly. As two-piece fasteners, lockbolts are quick and easy to use, provide protection against unwanted loosening, and are ideal if welding or a screw-nut connection is not practicable, too time-consuming, or even impossible. They are frequently used in commercial vehicles, railway, construction, solar field construction, and container manufacturing.
Avdel® lockbolts offer perfect resistance to vibration and material fatigue due to the swaged lock, which forms collar material permanently into the circular grooves of the bolt. Their lockbolt fastener solutions include:
Avdel® blind rivet nuts provide a fast, reliable, and cost-effective system for the introduction of high-quality, load-bearing threads. Blind rivet nuts offer many advantages against weld nuts, thread forming screws, press nuts, and screw/nut combinations. Avdel® blind rivet nut solutions include:
Avdel® offers a range of powerful, lightweight manual hand tools, hand-held hydraulic tools, hydro-pneumatic tools, and battery-powered hand tools for processing blind rivets, speed rivets, blind rivet nuts, and lockbolts. The connectors and devices together provide a mounting system that provides the ideal solution for many production, maintenance, or repair assembly applications.
