Blind strengthened rivets GOEBEL M-LOCK

Blind strengthened rivets M-LOCK - Ø 4.8 / 6.4 mm (aluminum, galvanized, stainless steel); 

The rugged M-LOCK rivets are used for joining steel parts, where special attention is paid to the high tensile and shear strength of the joint. The deformation of the rivet is solved so that it obeys the compression force, and the fastening is always strong. The upper part of the rod after riveting remains inside the body, as a result of which its walls are doubled, and the entire connection becomes high-strength. The rivet is designed for heavy loads, high resistance to vibration, watertight (sealed). The reinforced M-LOCK rivet, in contrast to the GO-LOCK rivet, has an even greater resistance to vibrations and high loads.

* For the installation of high-strength blind rivets "M-LOCK" a special nozzle should be used.

• evenly shaped closing head and large contact surface ensure high strength;
• large clamping range and high clamping force, even large distances between components can be riveted;
• optimal pressure on the surface of rivet holes, even non-circular;
• grooved leg ensures better fixation;
• part of the tear-off leg remains in the rivet body to increase the tear and tensile strength;
• extremely resistant to vibrations;
• high shear and tensile force;
• water and splash protection (when installed correctly);
• suitable for joining different material combinations;
• quick, easy and safe to use;
• non-separable connection;
• simple adjustment of installation tools, no qualifications required.

• Automotive industry;
• Car body and vehicle manufacturing;
• Construction industry;
• Engineering and equipment manufacturing;
• General industry.

TESTED ACCORDING TO ISO14589

This ISO 14589 test includes the following items:
Shear strength
This is the force acting horizontally to the longitudinal axis that the rivet can withstand when loaded until the rivet joint fails. The shear strength (N = Newton) specified in this catalogue is a typical value determined in accordance with the test method ISO 14589 (2000).
Tensile strength
This is the force that the rivet can withstand in the direction of its longitudinal axis when loaded until the rivet joint fails. The tensile strength (N = Newton) specified in this catalogue is a typical value determined in accordance with the test method ISO 14589 (2000).
Principle of the mandrel pull-out test (before installation)
The test consists of axially loading the mandrel from the head side of the blind rivet until it is pulled out. Principle of the mandrel breaking load test The test consists of loading the mandrel, pulled out of the rivet body, in a test fixture with a tensile load until it breaks.
Principle of the head holding capacity test
The test consists of axially loading the mandrel from the head side of the installed blind rivet to a load that ensures the head is held. All details in Newtons, 1 kp = 9.80665 N (10 N) GOEBEL can provide an inspection report for each batch delivered. This procedure ensures that only tested products are delivered for safe use by customers.
