Hemlok rivet | High Strength Hemlok Structural Rivets
Mechanical Locking: Unlike standard blind rivets, which primarily rely on the expansion of the rivet body for retention, the core feature of Hemlok rivets lies in their mandrel, which is equipped with a locking ring or a similar mechanical device.
Locked Mandrel: During the installation process, when the pulling force reaches a predetermined value, the mandrel breaks at the designed fracture point. Most critically, the broken mandrel is securely locked inside the rivet body by an internal mechanical mechanism, rather than merely being crimped in place as with ordinary rivets.
Advantages of Hemlok Rivets:
· Flat drum shape, large bearing surface, secure riveting
· High nail core retention, excellent shock resistance
· High tensile and shear strength
Materials of Hemlok Rivets:
· Aluminum body / Aluminum nail core
· Steel body / Steel nail core
· Stainless steel body / Stainless steel nail core
Types of Hemlok Rivet Heads:
· Round head
· Countersunk head
Applications:
Aerospace Industry: Aircraft fuselage, wings and empennage, engine nacelles.
Rail Transportation: Carbody assembly, equipment installation.
High-End Commercial Vehicles and Specialized Machinery: Trucks and buses, construction machinery.
