Masterfix High Strength Rivets

Masterfix high strength rivets

Masterfix High strength (also known as structural) rivets are especially designed for heavy duty applications, such as in the automotive industry and in the construction industry. In short, everywhere, where high loads are combined with a need for reliability.
High strength rivets are recognised for their high tensile and shear strengths and mandrel retention capacity.
Masterfix has several high strength rivet options to select from.

Masterfix MASTERBULB

The Masterfix Masterbulb is a newcomer in the range of standard high strength rivets Masterfix is offering. The Masterbulb is a heavy duty rivet suitable for demanding and safety critical applications.

Both the steel and stainless steel Masterbulb rivets form a large secondary flange on the rear side of the joint after setting. This makes this rivet ideal for high strength assembly in thin sheets.

Advantages:
•    High tensile and shear strengths
•    Permanent mandrel retention, avoids rattling of retained mandrels sections
•    Good hole fill capacity compensates for oversized, slotted or misaligned holes
•    Provides a large back side bearing area
•    Good spreading of the clamping load
•    Vibration resistant
•    Can be set with a standard flat nose piece
•    Available in steel and stainless steel versions

MASTERLOCK

The Masterlock has been engineered to fulfil a market need for a high clamp blind fastener, for thin sheet applications. Large diameter head and broad flange on the rear side of the joint diffuses the load over a large area, ensuring a strong and permanent clamp. This unique fastener also features a pointed hole-seeking tip, which ensures quick and easy installation.

Advantages
•    Similar in many ways to Masterbulb, but suitable for thicker material joints
•    Available in 6.4 mm diameters
•    Available in steel and aluminium versions

P-LOCK
The blind rivet with a multigrip clamping range and a high tensile and shear strength offers a high resistance to vibrations and a good watertight connection. After setting, the spent mandrel end is retained in the body permanently owing to the special mandrel locking system.

Advantages
•    The special locking mechanism increases the clamping force
•    After setting, the mandrel is locked permanently
•    High resistance to vibrations
•    Large clamping capacity
•    Available in steel
