Hollow Tubular Rivets are mechanical fasteners used to connect materials. They have a hollow tubular structure with a head at one end and a hollow tail at the other end. This design requires less force to install while providing strong connection strength.

Product Features

Hollow Tubular Rivets have the following features:

1. Lightweight Design

Lightweight: The hollow structure significantly reduces the weight of the rivet, making it suitable for weight-sensitive applications.

Material Selection: Lightweight materials such as aluminum, brass, and stainless steel are usually used.

2. High-Strength Connection

Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite its light weight, its strength is not reduced and it can withstand high shear and tension forces.

Uniform Stress: The hollow design can evenly distribute stress during installation and reduce stress concentration.

3. Easy to Install

Easy to install: During installation, you only need to pre-drill holes in the material and then deform the tail with a rivet gun or hand tool to form a strong connection.

Low installation force: The force required for installation is only about 25% of that of solid rivets, reducing the requirements for installation tools.

4. Material adaptability

Multiple materials: It can be made of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper and other materials to suit different application requirements.

Surface treatment: It can be galvanized, nickel-plated, anodized and other surface treatments to enhance corrosion resistance.

5. Flexible design

Multiple specifications: A variety of sizes, head shapes (such as flat head, round head, countersunk head, etc.) and lengths are available.

Customization: Special sizes and shapes can be customized according to customer needs.

6. Durability

Vibration resistance: It can maintain a stable connection under high vibration environment.

Corrosion resistance: Especially aluminum and stainless steel rivets have good corrosion resistance.

Application scenarios

Hollow Tubular Rivets are widely used in multiple industries and solve various connection problems:

1. Automotive industry

Lightweight: Used for the connection of body parts, interior and engine parts, it helps to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency.

High-strength connection: Provides reliable connection in key components such as braking systems and suspension systems.

2. Electronics industry

Non-conductive connection: Used for assembly of electronic equipment housing to avoid short circuit risks.

Lightweight and aesthetics: Provides compact and aesthetic connections in thin and light devices.

3. Leather products

Aesthetics and durability: Used for decorative connections of belts, handbags, shoes, etc., providing an aesthetic and durable appearance.

Lightweight: Reduce product weight and improve wearing comfort.

4. Construction industry

Lightweight structure: Used for connection of lightweight building components, such as decorative metal frames.

Corrosion resistance: In outdoor environments, stainless steel and aluminum rivets can resist corrosion.

5. Aerospace

High strength and lightweight: Provides high-strength connection and reduces weight in aircraft structures and interior components.

Vibration resistance: Remains stable in high vibration environments.

Care and maintenance

1. Post-installation inspection

Check the connection: After installation, check whether the rivets are firm and ensure that they are not loose or not completely deformed.

Appearance inspection: Check the surface of the rivet for scratches or damage, and repair if necessary.

2. Anti-corrosion measures

Regular inspection: In a corrosive environment, regularly check the corrosion of the rivets and replace them if necessary.

Surface protection: For rivets that are prone to corrosion, anti-corrosion coatings can be applied or anti-corrosion washers can be used.

3. Cleaning

Cleaning method: Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the surface of the rivet, and avoid using corrosive chemicals.

Remove dirt: Regularly remove dirt and debris around the rivet to prevent corrosion.
