Gesipa blind rivets ensure a permanently secure joining of various, including sensitive, materials. The blind rivet technology from Gesipa has become indispensable in many modern industrial productions where joining technology is required, due to its cost-effectiveness and versatility. It combines advantages such as overcoming limited accessibility of components, securely joining a wide range of materials, including sensitive ones, and, if desired, even documenting the setting process.

From a technical perspective, the blind rivet consists of two components: the hollow rivet and the rivet mandrel. While screws, clinching, and punch rivets require access to both sides of the component, the unique feature of the blind rivet is that only one-sided access is necessary.

During the setting process, the rivet mandrel is pulled with the jaws of the setting device, deforming the hollow rivet until it reaches a predefined, secure fit in the component. Finally, the rivet mandrel breaks off at the designated point, the predetermined breaking point, and the remaining mandrel can be sent for recycling. The remaining mandrel is the part of the mandrel that stays in the hollow rivet and can serve an additional securing function depending on the application.

Blind rivets come in various designs, materials, shapes, lengths, and colors. Depending on the task a blind rivet is intended to fulfill, Gesipa offers a choice between a standard model available from stock or a blind rivet specially designed for a specific application.
