Loadability of Blind Rivet and Lock Bolt Joints - Small Modifications make a Big Difference - (PPT)

摘要

Clamping force/residual clamping force can be influenced - by up to ～400%. Kick-back/pin-bounce impulse can be reduced to below ～25% of setting force. Mechanical properties can be improved - yield and slippage load can be increased by ～200% to ～600%. Further advantages: Negligible additional investment costs - only new tools: - improved productivity due to lighter and cheaper installation tools, easier handling, longer battery life, reduced absenteeism, no hearing protection, etc. - lower health and social insurance costs due to lower noise levels and less joint damage due to high kick-back forces. - less premature retirement due to occupational health hazards, etc.
