Steel Tightening Metal Stamping Custom Ss304 Steel Solid Rivet


Drive rivets are a type of rivet designed for quick and easy installation, typically in light-duty applications. They are characterized by a short, smooth body and a pre-assembled mandrel (a small pin or stem) that protrudes from the head. Drive rivets are installed by simply driving the mandrel into the rivet body using a hammer or a similar tool, which causes the body to expand and secure the materials being joined.


Key Features of Drive Rivets

  1. Simple Installation:

    • No special tools (like a rivet gun) are required—just a hammer or mallet.

    • The mandrel is driven into the rivet body, expanding it to form a secure joint.

  2. Lightweight and Compact:

    • Ideal for applications where weight and space are concerns.

  3. Blind Installation:

    • Can be installed from one side of the workpiece, making them suitable for situations where access to the back side is limited.

  4. Material Compatibility:

    • Commonly made from materials like aluminum, steel, or stainless steel.

    • Suitable for joining softer materials such as plastic, wood, or thin metal sheets.


How Drive Rivets Work

  1. A hole is drilled or punched into the materials to be joined.

  2. The drive rivet is inserted into the hole.

  3. The mandrel (protruding pin) is driven into the rivet body using a hammer or similar tool.

  4. As the mandrel is driven in, the rivet body expands, creating a tight fit and securing the materials together.


Advantages of Drive Rivets

  • Ease of Installation: No specialized tools are required.

  • Quick Assembly: Ideal for fast, low-cost applications.

  • Blind Fastening: Can be installed from one side.

  • Lightweight: Suitable for applications where weight is a concern.

Applications of Drive Rivets

Drive rivets are commonly used in light-duty applications, such as:

  • Electronics: Securing components in devices.

  • Signage: Attaching signs to frames or walls.

  • Plastic or Wood Assembly: Joining lightweight materials.

  • Home Repairs: Quick fixes for household items.

  • Automotive Trim: Attaching trim pieces or panels.


Comparison to Other Rivets

  • Blind Rivets (Pop Rivets): Require a rivet gun for installation and are stronger than drive rivets.

  • Solid Rivets: Require access to both sides of the workpiece and are used in heavy-duty applications.

  • Drive Rivets: Simpler and faster to install but less strong than other types.
