CHERRY® AEROSPACE MBC®...
CHERRY® AEROSPACE MBC® Blind Fastening System is one of the industry’s simplest and most versatile riveting systems available today. These fasteners are offered as standard MBC® rivets, simple, two-piece assemblies comprised of a MBC® rivet sleeve and a stem with an integral locking feature and as MBC® Lock Creator rivets (MBC®-L/C), same as the standard MBC® rivets with the addition of a lock creator anvil. This additional component simplifies installation of the fastener by allowing a single nose tip for installing the three available diameters, as in the CherryMAX® type rivets. Whether standard MBC® or MBC®-L/C rivets are used, each rivet comes complete as a single-piece assembly, ready for installation. CHERRY® AEROSPACE MBC® Blind Rivets are offered in aluminum and stainless steel versions and in different finishes. Both the aluminum and stainless steel series MBC® rivets are available in 1/8" (3.2mm), 5/32" (4.0mm) and 3/16" (4.8mm) diameters, with flush, reduced flush or protruding rivet head styles.
