Mono-Lock Blind Rivet

Description

Large flange blind rivets are a variation of regular blind rivets that feature a wider flange at the head. Some key characteristics include:

Flange Design: The large flange provides a greater bearing surface, which helps distribute the load over a wider area. This is particularly beneficial when fastening soft materials or thin sheet metals that might otherwise be pulled through a smaller head.

Installation: They work like standard blind rivets where they are inserted into pre-drilled holes and set with a riveting tool. The tool pulls the mandrel through the rivet body, expanding it, and then snaps off.

Materials: These rivets can be made of various materials such as aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, depending on the required durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Applications: They’re commonly used in situations where the hole size might be larger or irregular, or where the material is brittle and could crack under the pressure of a smaller head. You can find large flange blind rivets in automotive, construction, and appliance manufacturing.

Advantages: Apart from their load distribution benefit, the larger flange size also provides a more secure fastening when there’s a risk of the rivet pulling through the material, or when a larger decorative head is desired.

Large flange blind rivets are versatile fasteners that provide a reliable solution in a wide range of applications where surface area and load distribution are key considerations.
