RIFAST® Riveting

RIFAST® riveting uses the lightweight nut (LBM) and the thick sheet metal nut (DBM) for pre-punched components. The component itself is only exposed to minor stresses because the pilot of the nut is expanded in the punched hole.

• Lightweight nuts M5 to M8
• Sheet metal thicknesses 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm
• Flat, non-distorted component surface after riveting
• Specially developed for lightweight applications
• Considerable weight savings (LBM is ~ 70% lighter than our STM product line)
• Better access due to more compact construction
• Cost reduction through Lightweighting

• Thick Sheet Metal Nuts: M5 to M12
• Sheet metal thicknesses > 2.0 mm
• Flat, non-distorted component surface after riveting
• Can also be used for component materials with low forming capacity
• Superior resistance against push-out and torsional forces
• Water-tight joint
