The Blind Rivet is placed into the pre-drilled hole in the
materials to be joined and the Rivet Mandrel is inserted into
the riveting tool.
|
When the tool is actuated, the mandrel is griped and provides an axial pull. This causes
the mandrel head to expand outward to the diameter of the hole. |
When the mandrel reaches its breakload, it breaks at a predetermined point on its shank.
The broken mandrel left in the tool is then discarded. |
