Just how slow depends on the tool, the rivet material, the shank diameter and how much force is applied. However, instead of a single, rapid strike, a solid rivet is upset with a slow, controlled squeeze. They are available with many head styles, including round, flat, countersunk, pan, truss, universal, brazier, acorn and mushroom.Īs with tubular and semitubular rivets, access to both sides of the assembly is necessary to set solid rivets. Shank diameters range from 0.062 to 1.75 inches, while head diameters range from 0.122 to 2.844 inches. Solid rivets can be made from steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, Monel, Inconel, titanium and aluminum. It’s a solid shaft with a cold-formed head. Unlike tubular, semitubular and blind rivets, a solid rivet doesn’t have a hollow section that makes it easy to upset. Solid rivets require a different approach. The riveter grips the mandrel and pulls it through the rivet body, causing the body to expand and forcing the materials together. In contrast, a blind rivet consists of a headed, hollow rivet body and a headed, solid mandrel, or tail. As the name implies, an impact riveter upsets the rivet with one quick, powerful blow from the ram. Tubular and semitubular rivets are typically installed with a pedestal-mounted impact riveter. Sometimes, a good, hard squeeze is better than a rap on the head or a pull on the tail-at least for installing certain kinds of rivets.

Pneumatic Rivet SqueezersPneumatic riveters use a squeezing action, rather than a hammering action, to install rivets, resulting in far quieter operation and far greater installation uniformity. Our selection includes dies for round head, flat head, brazier head, modified brazier head, and universal head solid rivets in sizes from 1/16” to 1/4” and dies for semi-tubular rivets from 1/16” to 3/8” in diameter.
