In the stroke setting method, the too
there is a variation in thickness of the workpiece there is a definite risk
that a blind rivet nut may not be set properly, or become damaged
due to the setting mandrel damaging the Rivet Nut® thread. In this
situation there will be premature wear of the mandrel.
This phenomenon is eliminated with the pressure setting method as the
setting force is controlled irrespective of the thickness of the workpiece.
This setting principle is particularly well suited to workpieces with variable thickness (plastic parts,
various layers…) and provides consistent setting quality.
Advantages:
I Optimised setting into panels with thickness variations
I Possibility
I Permits quality control (force indicator…)
