Hand riveting machines are a specialized group of tools designed exclusively for one operation - assembly of breakout rivets or rivet nuts. These tools are widely used in industry, automobile manufacturing, aviation, electronics, mechanical and plant engineering etc.
Hand riveting machines are made up of a lever drive part, which is a different type of handle or pantograph mechanism, and a body with a riveting head. The lever action drives either the jaws (blind riveting machines) or the threaded shank (blind riveting machines) in the head resulting in the attachment of the rivet. There are three basic versions of hand-held riveting machines: one-handed stationary, two-handed movable and articulated (folding) with pantograph drive.
Hand riveting machines are classified according to their purpose into riveting machines for blind rivets and rivet nuts. As well as according to their drive design into 1 or 2 lever riveting machines and folding riveting machines.
Hand-held riveting machines have the following technical characteristics: material type of the blind rivet or rivet nuts, rivet size (mm), thread size of the rivet nuts, length of the riveting machine (mm) and weight (g).
Hand riveting tools are designed exclusively for fastening blind rivets up to 7 mm in diameter or blind rivet nuts up to M16. These types of rivet can be made of mild steel, stainless steel, copper and aluminium. These tools are manufactured by Bahco, Beta, Facom, Gedore, Hazet, Proxxon, Novus, Stanley, Stahlwille etc.
