Structural Blind Rivets
Structural Blind Rivets can withstand high strength loads. Compared with standard blind rivets, it has higher strength, better vibration resistance and more superior tensile and shear resistance. As a result, structural pop rivets are ideally suited for use in connection scenarios where extreme loads and high dynamic vibration are required.
In industrial scenarios, structural pop rivets are widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, construction and structural steel connections.
Types of Structural Blind Rivets
There are many types of structural pop rivets to meet the needs of different industrial equipment. These include bulb tite rivets, which are waterproof, and multi grip blind rivets, which can be riveted to different thicknesses.
Uni-grip Blind Rivets
Multi-grip Blind Rivets
Bulb Tite Blind Rivets
Q-Lock Blind Rivets
Interlock Rivets
Monobolt Rivets
Hemlock Blind Rivets

Applications of Structural Blind Rivets
Structural Rivets for Automotive
Structural Blind Rivets are widely used in the automotive industry. It is often used for joining high load components such as body sheet metal, frames, and chassis.
The advantages of structural rivets include excellent vibration resistance and the ability to meet high strength requirements.
Structural Pop Rivets for Airplane Industry
Compared to other connection methods, aluminum structural rivets are very lightweight. Aircraft manufacturing requires a high degree of overall lightweighting, and structural blind rivets can provide a perfect solution.
Structural rivets not only provide a lightweight solution, but also provide high tensile and shear strength.
Structural Rivets for Constructions
The types of blind rivets used in construction are numerous. In some parts that need to load-bearing, usually choose to use high-strength structural rivets to complete the connection.
Including metal frames, parapets, curtain walls and other load-bearing parts of the connection.
Structural Rivets for Industrial Equipment
Industrial equipment is often assembled from multiple sheets of metal. The connection of these sheets of metal requires the use of blind rivets. Industrial equipment housing, high-strength bracket connection will use high-strength structural rivets to connect.
What is a Structural Blind Rivet?
Structural rivets are special blind rivets with high strength and high vibration resistance. Its mandrel locks into the rivet housing after installation to form a strong mechanical connection.
Structural rivets have many features that ordinary blind rivets do not have. Its main features are as follows:
- High tensile and shear strength
- Mandrel locking design prevents loosening
- Suitable for high load and dynamic vibration applications
How Do you Install a Structural Rivet?
The procedure for installing structural rivets is essentially the same as installing other blind rivets. The only caveat is that installing structural rivets requires a much higher pulling force. You will need to use a specialized pneumatic structural rivet gun to complete the installation.
What is the Difference Between Structural and Non Structural Rivets?
| Feature | Structural Blind Rivet | Standard Blind Rivet |
| Strength | High tensile and shear strength, suitable for heavy-duty applications | Moderate strength, suitable for light-duty applications |
| Vibration Resistance | Stem locking design ensures excellent vibration and dynamic load resistance | Stem may loosen over time, offering weaker vibration resistance |
| Sealing Capability | Some models provide waterproof and dustproof sealing | No sealing capabilities |
| Applications | Automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, and other high-strength needs | Furniture, lightweight frames, and general everyday connections |
Is It Possible to Customize Structural Blind Rivets?
Custom structural blind rivets are of course available.
- Material: such as high temperature alloy, stainless steel.
- Surface treatment: such as anodized, galvanized.
- Size and shape: adjust the specifications according to special needs.
