Blind rivet nuts with slotted shank

RIVKLE PN

Blind rivet nuts and tools for ultimate pull-out resistance designed for use in plastic and thin sheet metal. Visit our Internet site at: www.rivkle.de

RIVKLE PN for ultimate pull-out force values

The RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut has been specially designed for integrating into plastic parts, hollow sections or thin-walled sheet steel 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: I The RIVKLE PN displays the largest clamping area of the range of blind rivet nuts for variable thicknesses of material I Large clamping area to reinforce the workpiece I Minimal radial stresses in the setting process to avoid the risk of breakage on soft or fragile materials I Available in steel, aluminium and stainless steel I 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-slaying, the riveting can be done by a rotating mandrel (e.g. by an assembly tool for screws). 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.

Impressive pull-out resistance

The following table compares pull-out forces for the standard RIVKLE blind rivet nut and the RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut in the materials illustrated above. Blind rivet nut type RIVKLE RIVKLE PN 0.76 mm steel 2.13 kN 5.40 kN 2.92 mm vinyl extrusion 0.9 kN 2.75 kN 6.29 mm pultruded plastic 6.76 kN 8.40 kN 3.04 mm rotoformed plastic 0.1 kN 0.7 kN 1.65 mm SMC plastic 0.6 kN 1.62 kN 4.69 mm blow-moulded plastic 1.25 kN 3.22 kN

Note: Pull-out testing was conducted with a circular holding-down plate, dia. 65 mm. Bllhoff recommends testing under real application conditions in order to determine the exact pull-out force.

RIVKLE PN Technical Data

The RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut was designed to achieve maximum pull-out resistance in plastic and thin-walled sheet metal. 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.

Setting tools P 2001 PN: Hydraulic-pneumatic setting tool

With the P 2001 PN setting tool, all types of blind rivet nuts from the RIVKLE PN range can be mounted. I Operation Blind rivet spun on to the mandrel, pneumatic/ hydraulic setting, trigger operated spin-off. Stroke limited by setting ring. Mandrel changeover by bayonet lock. I Application High production volumes. I Technical Information Output: up to15 items/min., weight: 2.7 kg, max. stroke: 15.5 mm, max. setting force: 15.000 N, dimensions: M 3 to M 8 Of course, blind rivet nuts from the standard RIVKLE range can be riveted with the P 2001 PN as well.

Type S: One-dimensional hand-operated setting tool

With the Type S setting tool, blind rivet nuts in the dimensions M 5 to M 12 can be mounted. This tool is delivered with a nosepiece and mandrel (for one dimension). I Operation One-dimensional riveting tool with threaded drive. Winds the RIVKLE PN blind rivet nut on and off manually by means of a crank handle and key (included in scope of delivery). I Application Occasional setting I Technical Information Output: up to 2 items/min., max. stroke: 6 mm
