A closed end rivet
The rivet body of the GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet is absolutely air and watertight. Liquids cannot seep through, could however seep around the set rivet, if the setting hole is too large. Therefore great care must be brought to fullfi lling the hole tolerances.
The GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet –
The structure
For technical reasons, the rivet mandrel of the GESIPA CAP® blind rivet must be fi xed in the rivet body.
However this means that the rivet body can only deformslightly during the setting process. As a result, the cap blind rivet only has marginal hole fi lling capability.
However this is necessary to be able to compensate large bore-hole tolerances.
The GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet –
Tight connections with care
The above-mentioned technical situations make careful preparation of the application imperative. The hole diameter should be as tight as possible to ensure a flawless function in the application for a long period.
The GESIPA® CAP® blind rivet is designed specifically for air and watertight connections with its cup shape guaranteeing this is achieved reliably.
