Custom Rivets
A semi-tubular rivet has a manufactured head on one end and tubular shank hole-depth of less than 112% of the
shank diameter of the rivet.
Tubular Rivets
A tubular rivet, also known as a hollow rivet, has shank hole-depth equal to or greater than 112% of the shank
diameter.
Semi-tubular and tubular rivets are excellent fasteners to quickly and inexpensively join work-piece materials
together. The tubular portion of the rivet may be fastened to a tight or loose (hinged assemblies) fit depending
on the application. Riveted work-pieces are most often joined together by impacting or compressing the tubular
end of the rivet with a crimping die (rivet anvil). The length of the rivet shank must be long enough to pass

through work-piece with enough shank length left over for clinching process. The tightness of the clinched joint
is determined by the amount of force applied to the clinched end of the rivet and can easily be adjusted.

Clinch force required to fasten is typically less than 40% of solid rivets so a less expensive assembly
machine is required
Permanent fastener with good joint strength
Ease of joint inspection
Rivet clinches can be roll-clinched, segmented (star set), spun, flared or press clinched
Can be used to fasten similar or different materials of multiple work-pieces. Can be applied to tightly
fasten joints together or used in hinged assemblies
Tubular-hole rivets often used to pierce and clinch materials (leather-corrugated-plastic-rubber-fabric)
without a pre-drilled or punched work-piece hole
Rivets can also be used with a rivet cap to improve appearance of clinched end
Long length rivets can be applied without buckling or bending the rivet shank
Inexpensive alternative to threaded fasteners
Virtually no scrap is produced during the manufacturing process
Easily adapted for automation
