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. Whether standard MBC® or MBC®-L/C rivets are used, each rivet comes complete as a single-piece assembly, ready for installation.

MS20604 and MS20605 Standard pull-thru rivets are unique blind rivets typically used in nut plate applications. MS20604 and MS20605 series blind rivets are superseded by those of NASM20604 and NASM20605 respectively.They are both non structural blind rivets with universal head (MS20604) or 100 Deg. flush head (MS20605). These rivets are ideal in circumstances with very limited clearance while allowing for a secure set on both sides of the application. The symmetrical insertion allows for access and installation on either side while retaining its blind rivet capacity of one-sided installation. NASM/MS 20604 rivets come with a Universal Head, allowing for ease of installation while retaining strength and security. 

Sourced from quality manufacturers, NASM20604/MS20604 and NASM20605/MS20605 blind rivets are offered either as part of our own label (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines or as OEM parts of PCC CHERRY® AEROSPACE and other manufacturers (separately listed). They are available in different mil-spec approved materials, such as 2117-T4 grade Aluminum or 5056 Grade Aluminum, finishes and sizes. They are sold in packs of specified number of rivets per pack indicated after the letters "PK" in the product reference code (SKU).

Blind rivets, also called "pop rivets", can be used when access to through-bolt isn’t possible. AVDEL® N (*) protruding head nail rivets by ELCO CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS are suitable for metal to metal applications.Their body/mandrel is made from different materials: Aluminum/Aluminum, Steel/Steel, Aluminum/Steel or Stainless Steel/Stainless Steel. Aluminum and  18-8 Stainless Steel rivets for high strength and corrosion resistance, are widely used for marine applications such  as non-critical equipment installations on masts, radar towers and other structures with limited or no access to secure washers and nuts. They are ideal for installing deck lights, bimini frame brackets and much more. Rivets are available in a range of diameters and gripping lengths to match the needs of a variety of projects. Installation requires special tool with appropriate die to match mandrel diameter. Contact of dissimilar metals, like for example use of stainless steel rivets to install hardware on to the aluminum spars of a sailboat, should be avoided to guard against galvanic corrosion occurence. If the superior strength of stainless steel rivets is not required, the use of aluminum blind rivets should be considered for non-critical installations. Aluminum rivets can also be used below the waterline together with marine epoxy or Gluvit sealant for waterproofness. AVDEL® N rivets are sold in convenient packs. The number of pieces per pack is specified after the letters "PK" in the product reference number (SKU).

ATI® TOOLS ATIST1111BK3 anti-slip rivet set, H13 magnetic particle tested. Manufactured to Boeing® specifications. It features polyurethane rim to prevent slipping and damage to skin surfaces. Shank diameter 0.401". Length 2-1/2″. Face diameter 1-1/4″.

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. 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.

Sourced by quality suppliers, blind rivets, offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines, come in different materials, sizes, military or industrial standards and packing options to meet different application requirements. They are intended for use in a wide range of applications including  aircrafts, ships, submersibles, RVs, trailers,  machinery, small electronics, structural beams and others. Please refer to the individual product presentations to find the rivet which best suits your needs.
