Rivet Technology
The POP® blind rivet system provides a quick and easy assembly solution for sheet metal and composite materials, meeting even extremely demanding application requirements.
POP® blind rivets have set the benchmark in the industry for their reliability and efficiency in connecting two or more components. These rivets are versatile, accommodating various materials such as steel, plastic, and others with differing strengths and assembly thicknesses.
For different applications, you can select from a large variety of blind rivets, mandrel heads, rivet heads, and rivet bodies. The POP® portfolio ranges from soft setting rivets to rivets with superior clamping performance and grip range capabilities. They are available in multiple materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and nickel copper alloy, making them the go-to choice across the industry.
POP® open-end blind rivets are suitable for general-purpose applications with a wide range of materials and head styles. For applications with normal load-bearing requirements, POP® open-end blind rivets can be installed easily. The available materials include aluminum, steel, stainless steel, nickel copper alloy, and copper.
The advantage of a POP® closed-end blind rivet is the paramount mandrel retention. Because of the closed end, the rivet is ideal for fully sealed applications, such as water- or pressure-tight environments. Available materials are aluminum, steel, stainless steel, nickel copper alloy, and copper. Head styles include domed, large flange, and countersunk heads.
The POP® Multi-Grip™ blind rivet is a great solution to reduce the quantity of several sizes of standard rivets to one Multi-Grip™ blind rivet. The wide grip range capability permits design flexibility and reduced rivet inventory, which can result in substantial cost savings.
The POP® Load-Spreading Blind Rivet (LSR) creates large folds on the blind side after installation. This feature provides a larger bearing surface to avoid the pull-through of the rivet or cracking of plastics or soft or other brittle application materials. This feature makes the POP® LSR the perfect solution for installation in any soft or brittle application material.
The POP® Peel Rivet / T-Rivet is the optimal solution for joining softer and more brittle materials such as plastics, rubber, wood, GFRP, or laminates. The Peel Rivet / T-Rivet body “peels” into “petals” to fasten the application pieces together. This peeling process allows for a lot less force to be applied during the setting process on the workpiece material.
The POP Vgrip® rivets’ extended grip range comes with premium aesthetic appearance and a wide blind side after assembly. The Vgrip rivet, with its large closing head forming, offers a lower mandrel break load during application, so that it helps to reduce the axial load on the material stack.
The POP Jack Nut® is designed specifically for soft material installation, such as paper, glass, and plastics. Thanks to the slotted body design, the blind rivet nut with its four legs can expand behind the base material.
The POP Well-Nut® with flat head dampens shocks and vibrations in the connection of components. The connecting element consists of a neoprene body with an embedded brass nut.
The POP® Terminal Tag Rivet is a special rivet with 1, 2 and 4 grounding flags for false current. The grounding function can be achieved via a normal blind riveting process.
POP® Pull-Thru Rivets are unique solutions for electrical applications. With the design of a two-sided countersink after installation, the application is flush on both sides.
