Fasteners: Speed FastenersGrovit®
Description
The Grovit® rivet is a speed fastening rivet designed for blind holes
in thicker gauge plastics, fiberglass, aluminum alloy and similar materials.
It is available in aluminum or steel construction and sizes of 3/32", 1/8",
5/32" and 3/16". Annular grooves on the rivet body expand within the host
material to provide a secure anchorage. The grooves are, by design, wide
and deep, which allows the application material to flow easily into the grooves.
This stress relieving effect eliminates potential cracking problems in soft
or brittle material.
Due to the precise design of the Grovit® rivet the application parameters must meet the specified ranges to ensure proper installation and performance.
Speed fasteners are placed using a unique repetition mandrel system. Rivets
are loaded into specialist tooling and, during placement, the tool pulls
the mandrel through the rivet giving both axial and radial expansion (providing
clamp and hole fill). At the end of each cycle the next rivet is automatically
delivered to the nose piece ready for placement. For large volume applications
the fasteners can be bowl fed using automated equipment which gives continuous
feed with cycle times as low as 1.5 seconds.
