Solid shank rivets are relatively low-cost,  permanently installed fasteners used as structural parts in aircraft and other applications where reliability and safety consist a priority.  These rivets are produced in accordance with military and other international standards such as US Army-Navy (AN) standard and Mil-Spec (MS) that followed. AN426/MS20426 and AN470/MS20470 Series rivets are solid aluminum rivets with countersunk head or universal head respectively. Sourced from quality suppliers they are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. They are  available in different diameters and lengths and sold by the pound (lb). Those designated by the letter "A" in their part numbers are "soft" rivets fabricated from 1100-grade aluminum with a tensile strength of 16,000 PSI while rivets designated by the letters "AD" are fabricated from 2117 aluminum and heat treated to the T4 condition. They have a shear strength of 26,000 PSI and a tensile strength of 38,000 PSI. For additional information please refer to the article on an overview of our fasteners, other supplied documentation, the individual product presentations or contact us.

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.

Blind rivets (also commonly referred to as POP Rivets) are mainly used in applications where there is no access to the rear (blind side) of the joint. Rivets have a two-piece construction, the rivet body, shell, or hat and the stem or mandrel. Both the hat and mandrel are pre-assembled and ready to use. Rivets are installed by using a riveting tool to draw the mandrel which causes the body to deform and clamp down on the joint. Upon reaching the designed clamping force, the mandrel snaps and is discarded. They come in different materials, sizes, military or industrial standards, can be installed with the use of a riveting tool and cover a wide range of structural and non structural applications. A benefit of blind rivets is that they are not material specific and therefore they can be used to combine two different material types together. Furthermore, there is no way to over or under-torque a rivet. If the appropriate diameter and grip range are chosen correctly, the rivet will be installed perfectly every time.

Non structural break mandrel blind rivets are offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines. They are produced in accordance with the DIN 7337 Standard of the German Institute for Standardisation (Deutsches Institut für Normung, DIN) or respective replacing ISO Standards (ISO 15983 or ISO 15977 for protruding or flat/countersunk head rivets respectively). These standards specify the dimensions, materials, properties and requirements for the use of blind rivets and they are widely used many industries in Europe and worlwide, including automotive, construction and machine building industries.

AVIATIONEU NEW ERA DIN 7337 blind rivets are offered in metric (mm) sizes covering different diameters, lengths and grip ranges. Common diameters include:  2.4 mm, 3.2 mm (1/8″),  4.0 mm, 4.8 mm (3/16″), and 6.4 mm (1/4″).

Material options include steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloys and can be supplied with different finishes, galvanized or coated.

Sold in pieces but mostly in packs with the number of rivets per pack indicated in the product SKU after the letters "PK". Appearing sale prices are per unit of sale used each time.

Intended for use in a wide range of non structural applications in aircrafts, ships, submersibles, RVs, trailers,  machinery, small electronics, and others.

Jo-Bolt is a trade name for an internally threaded three-piece rivet. A Jo-Bolt consists of three factory preassembled parts, a threaded steel alloy bolt, a threaded steel nut, and an expandable stainless steel sleeve. During installation the bolt is turned while the nut is held. This causes the sleeve to expand over the end of the nut, forming the blind head and clamping against the work. When driving is complete, a portion of the bolt breaks off. The high shear and tensile strength of the Jo-Bolt  fasteners makes them suitable for use in high-stress applications where some of the other blind fasteners would not be practical. Other advantages include their excellent resistance to vibration, weight saving, and fast installation by one person. Jo-Bolts are often encountered in the permanent structure of late model aircraft, in areas which are not often subjected to replacement or servicing. Manufactured to different aerospace standards such as NAS 1669, 1670, 1750, or 1751 they are offered as OEM parts of their respective producers or as respective Standard part numbers under our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines.
