Rivet

A rivet is a fastener used to permanently join two or more components together. During the joining process, the rivet is deformed, thereby securing the joint.

The rivet is inserted through preformed holes in the components to be joined. The free end of the rivet is then deformed, creating a head that permanently joins the components together.

There are different types of rivets depending on the design and application. MN Kaltformteile manufactures, amongst other things, solid rivets and semi-tubular rivets.

Rivets are particularly suitable for permanent joints where subsequent non-destructive disassembly is not required. Depending on the application, they also enable short joining times and good integration into automated assembly processes.

Yes. Rivets are suitable for industrial series production and can be easily integrated into automated assembly processes. With appropriate process design, they enable reproducible and cost-effective joints even for high production volumes.
