Screw-in blind rivet UNITEC® plastic in plastic

Technology
The screw-fitted blind rivet is inserted in the hole of component A. (Picture 1) Laterally fitted ridges provide the captive effect. Torsion resistance is achieved by the flange counter-bearing.

Following this, component B is laid on and the plastic in plastic screw fitted in the blind rivet through the component. (Picture 2) For this fastening system varying gap dimensions are no problem because when fitting, the screw-fitted blind rivet pulls itself beneath component B in axial direction in a tolerance compensating manner.

At the same time a bead is formed which snugs at the rear beneath component A to be fastened. (Picture 3)

Applications
Where a cut thread is not possible due to thin wall thicknesses and/or where production-referenced component tolerances have to be compensated, e.g. in the automotive industry, in machine and machine line manufacture...
