Rivets

Rivets are versatile fasteners used to create strong, permanent joints across many industries, including automotive, industrial equipment, electronics, and general manufacturing. They provide consistent clamp load and reliable performance, often requiring access from only one side of the assembly. This category includes blind rivets, self-piercing rivets for high-speed sheet-metal assembly without pre-drilled holes, and semi-tubular rivets for controlled clinching in lighter-duty applications.

The category also includes rivet backup washers, collars, lock bolts, and rivet nuts that expand design and application flexibility. Backup washers improve load distribution, while collars and lock bolts deliver high-strength, vibration-resistant connections. Rivet nuts add reusable internal threads to thin or soft materials, enabling serviceable joints where tapping is not practical.
