GESIPA blind rivets ensure a permanently secure joining of various, even sensitive materials. The blind rivet technology from GESIPA has become indispensable in many modern industrial productions where joining technology is required, due to its cost-effectiveness and versatility. It combines advantages such as overcoming limited accessibility of components, providing a permanently secure joining of various, even sensitive materials, and, if desired, the documentation of the setting process.

From a technical perspective, the blind rivet consists of two components: the hollow rivet and the rivet mandrel. While with screws, clinching, and punch riveting, the component must always be accessible from both sides, the truly special feature of the blind rivet is that only one-sided accessibility is required.

During the setting process, the rivet mandrel is pulled with the jaws of the setting device, deforming the hollow rivet until it achieves a predefined, secure fit in the component. Finally, the rivet mandrel breaks off at the designated point, the predetermined breaking point, and the remaining mandrel can be sent for recycling. The remaining mandrel is the part of the mandrel that stays in the hollow rivet and can take on an additional securing function depending on the application.

Blind rivets come in a wide variety of designs, materials, shapes, lengths, and colors. Depending on the task that a blind rivet is meant to fulfill, GESIPA offers a choice between a standard model available from stock or a blind rivet specifically designed for a particular application.
