RIVKLE PN for ultimate pull-out force values.

The RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut has been specially designed for integrating into thin-walled sheet steel, hollow sections or synthetic parts requiring high pull-out forces. The slotted shank splays out into four petals on the blind side of the base material, thus offering a large bearing surface and ensuring maximum pull-out force. Additional design benefits of RIVKLE PN are: s In addition, the RIVKLE PN displays the largest clamping area of the range of blind rivet nuts for variable thicknesses of material s Large clamping area to reinforce the workpiece s Minimal radial stresses in the setting process to avoid the risk of breakage on soft or fragile materials s Available in steel, aluminium and stainless steel s Available in thread sizes M 4 to M 10 (non-metric/imperial measurements on request)

RIVKLE PN Pre-Bulbed (on request)

The Pre-Bulbed RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut features all the functions and advantages of the standard design. In addition, thanks to its gentle pre-splaying, torque can be applied to the fastener as it is being assembled with a pneumatic riveting tool. Assembly is also possible using a simple, inexpensive manual key mounting tool, which can be supplied to the customer together with Pre-Bulbed RIVKLE PN (in which case a standard screw will have to be substituted for the riveted joint when assembling the screwdown component).

C 302: Pneumatic assembly tool

With the C 302 setting tool, all types of blind rivet nuts from the RIVKLE PN range can be mounted. For constant material thicknesses, the setting stroke can be adjusted to that of the blind rivet nut in question (tension setting: stroke regulated). For applications with multiple or variable material thicknesses, the setting stroke can be maximized and the compressed air supply to the tool restricted so that the tool always sets the blind rivet nut correctly (tension setting: power regulated). Thanks to this dual capability, the C 302 is an extremely versatile setting tool.

Of course, all blind rivet nuts from the standard range can be riveted with the C 302 as well.

Type S: One-dimensional manual installation tool

One-dimensional riveting tool with helical gearing. Winds the RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut on and off manually by means of a crank handle and key (included in scope of delivery).

This tool is supplied with a nose pece and threaded mandrel for a single dimension (e.g. M 6).

RIVKLE PN Technical data

The RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut was designed to achieve maximum pull-out resistance in thin-walled sheet metal and plastic. The slotted shank splays out into four petals, thereby presenting a large closing head bearing area on the blind side of the base material. In addition, the RIVKLE PN displays the largest clamping area of the range of blind rivet nuts.
