If you are looking for the ultimate in control and require absolute precision, for example when working with delicate materials, unusual shaped holes or even for difficult to reach applications, then a speed fastener could be the right solution for you. This method involves a repetition mandrel system which pulls the fastener through and allows both axial and radial expansion giving a tight fastening. The tool automatically releases a new fastener to the nosepipe reducing time taken between fastenings and giving a typical cycle time of just 1 second. Options include standard hand-held tools, bench mounted, over bench and pantograph as well as twin and multi-head workstations.
NeoSpeed rivets offer the very latest in design technology and provide an excellent replacement product for all blind rivets. They boast exceptional multi-grip capabilities as well as hole tolerance flexibility and strength, but their superiority lies within their ability to grip along their entire body length enabling them to adhere to components that have a thickness of only 0.6mm eliminating the requirement for multiple conventional rivets. Combine this with leading clamp up capability and you are assured incomparable strength, speed and flexibility.
If you are looking for a fastener that offers the flexibility of being able to be used in a range of materials, including stainless steel, steel, plastics and aluminium, whilst giving excellent clamp up, then you may find Advel’s Briv Rivets meet your requirements, especially within electrical appliance, electronic assembly, general metal fabrication, lighting and automotive applications.

If your priority when choosing blind fasteners is strength, then Monobolt structural breakstem rivets could be just what you’re looking for. They are one of the strongest options currently on the market meaning you can use less fasteners than you would need if you were using standard grip fasteners. Affording superb multi-grip capabilities, these rivets can be used to alleviate sheet movement in non- standard holes and their water resistant and vibration resistant characteristics make them the ideal solution for a host of applications.
These fabulous breakstem fasteners apply their multi-grip and radial expansion design to provide excellent hole filling capabilities, the result being a fully-sealed joint, even for large and non-standard gaps. This in turn prevents possible movement between sheets as well as excellent resistance against vibrations. These rivets from Avdel exhibit high tensile strength and therefore savings can be made through use of fewer fasteners than would be required if using standard varieties. There are several options to choose from including steel dome-head, countersunk steel and aluminium. The full details of each design can be found on our website.
If you are looking for a blind fastener that will provide unbeatable strength then Hemlock structural breakstem rivets could provide the perfect solution. With a diameter of 6.4mm and protracted blind-side bearing it arguably offers the most strength of any blind fastener in the Avdel range for both shear and tensile performance. It is also an excellent option for external applications due to its commendable weather resistance. Hemlock structural rivets are available in both aluminium and zinc-plated steel options, both featuring a dome-head design.
Avbolt® by Avdel is a fastener for heavy-duty applications such as those found in the mining, construction, railway, HVG and container industries. Combine this with tamper-resistant characteristics, high-tensile and shear strength, superb grip capabilities and vibration resistance and you have an extremely high-performing fastener. Another advantageous attribute of the Avbolt® is its one-sided application, providing quick and simple installation for a robust joint, that doesn’t require a highly-skilled person to put them in place.
Constructed from zinc-plated steel, which has been passivated to provide excellent corrosion resistance, the Avibulb XT multigrip fastener offers the ideal blend of high performance and aesthetics. With a generous blind side tail, which diffuses the load across the rear sheet as well as the front, it is ideal for use with thinner gauge materials. Its 6.4mm diameter and excellent expansion qualities result in impressive joint sealing of even irregular, oversized and misaligned holes. Full specifications of this fastener, including details of shear and tensile strengths, can be found on our website.
When a high strength fastener is needed for thin sheet material the solution can be found in the form of the newly structured Avinox® XT multi-grip fastener. Fabricated from stainless steel, this robust fastener features a bulbing tail enabling the clamp load to be distributed to the rear sheet, which is why it is ideal for use with thin sheet materials. In fact it has the largest grip range offered by any ¼” bulbing fastener available on the market today.
