Often there is a need to connect steel billets. Carrying out such work can simplify the rivet for threaded rivets, it provides a high-quality connection with minimal time and effort.
Description
Using the device on various metal elements is not difficult and is always done in the same algorithm. The range of tools is presented in a wide price range, from the most budgetary to more expensive, so everyone can find a suitable option for themselves.
Riveter for M3-M10 threaded rivets has a special part in the form of a small ball, it is drawn into the rivet tube when the thread rotates. After the front part of the fastener is compressed and forms a strong connection of the elements. Such a tool is optimally suited for thin materials characterized by complex threading. In this case, you can work only on one side of the product, and in the rivet itself, additionally fix a bolt or screw.
Reviews
Riveter for threaded rivets 456363 can be used with aluminum and steel parts, the size of which varies from M3 to M10. The necessary parameters are set by a special movement system. The design consists of a robust aluminum housing and handles with comfortable plastic pads. According to customer reviews, it is a device characterized by a long period of operation. Despite the active use, its functionality remains the same after 4-5 years.
The reinforced riveter for threaded rivets “Bison Expert”, according to the owners, is distinguished by budget cost, reliability, convenient handles that simplify work. Among the features it is worth highlighting the possibility of removing the threaded elements only under the condition of rotation of the tool, because of this the scope of its application is limited. Many note the fragility of some bits and gripping jaws. In this case, difficulties arise when removing the device from the rivets, in particular, it is necessary to calculate the degree of screwing in of the rod in advance.
The Matrix 40524 tool is optimally suited for rivets 3.0, but it is difficult to use with parts 4.8. The product is equipped with accessories for almost all sizes of rivets, while they are easily and quickly replaced.
Power device Stayer Profi 3116 is quite popular. It is considered more compact and reliable compared to other similar options. Buyers emphasize ease of use and high-quality combination of structural elements. The tool allows you to effortlessly tighten aluminum rivets, while the waste rods fall into a special receiving container, which eliminates the need to collect bounced elements. The joints of the hinges of the handles are made with reliable nuts with self-locking rings and bolts, if necessary, they can be tightened. The main disadvantage is the periodic loss of the key for removing nozzles.
Reinforced rivet for threaded rivets Gross 40403, according to owners, is a convenient device that allows you to work with one hand, even when using large rivets, while it is quite reliable.
Advantage of using
Not so long ago, the use of rivets at home was almost impossible, since the process was characterized by a large number of difficulties and technological features. The possibility of fixing on both sides of the product was not always present, while the attachment required a lot of effort. But progress does not stand still, and over time there appeared a riveter for two-handed threaded rivets 456363, which has small dimensions and allows for high-quality fastening.
Despite the simple design, resembling conventional pliers, its application possibilities are quite extensive. So, it is possible to work on both sides of the product without using additional elements, but before that holes must be made in the blanks for the required number of rivets.
Work
The mechanism of action is based on the formation of traction. As mentioned earlier, to begin with, a hole is drilled in the installed places of the parts to be connected. Then a rivet is inserted into the tool, inserted into the hole and bursting. By compressing the handles, the part is secured.
Due to the tool, the riveting process is significantly accelerated, and at the same time the applied efforts are reduced. Products are divided into several varieties, each of which is characterized by its own characteristics. The choice of a certain option should be carried out in accordance with personal preferences and some features of the work.
The choice
Pneumatic riveter for threaded rivets has a slightly different principle of operation, based on the force of air pressure, while the force of both hands is necessary only to hold the device.
The choice of one or another option should be carried out in accordance with the anticipated amount of work and existing tasks. For home use, the best option would be a hand or pneumatic tool, and in the automotive and construction field, cordless or pneumohydraulic tools will be indispensable. In any case, the cost should not be suspiciously low, since a too cheap rivet for two-handed threaded rivets can turn out to be of poor quality and quickly fail.
Nozzles
Fixation of threaded elements is possible when using a tool equipped with special heads of the appropriate size. That is, a suitable nozzle is first fixed in the device, the used part is attached to it, then it is inserted into the pre-made hole. Fixation occurs by forming a fold on both sides of the fastener after pressure on the handle of the tool. Upon completion of work, a nozzle is unscrewed from the rivet.
Most devices are sold complete with interchangeable heads suitable for parts of different sizes.
Rivets
Despite the apparent simplicity of the connection, it is quite reliable, due to which it has gained wide distribution in many areas, including repair and construction. Also noted is the use in the welding process, in the manufacture of automobiles, various equipment, and even when creating a helicopter fuselage.
After creating threaded elements, it became possible to reduce deformation changes and discoloration of the connected product. Various materials are used for the production, the most widely used are steel, brass and copper options.
Varieties
The type of rivets is selected depending on which rivet is used for threaded rivets and what is the expected load of the joint. With a reduction in the diameter of the fastener, it can be used for less load. Today there are many varieties of rivets, the shape can be hexagonal or cylindrical. The design can be complemented by a hidden, reduced or classic side, have a closed or open type. Each variety is suitable for specific designs and the various materials used.
