how to use a pop rivet gun

how does a rivet gun work?

Rivet guns used to perform work related to machinery is not a new concept, however the mechanism behind the gun to rivet isn’t widely understood. Today, BOFENG‘s editor will help you understand the basic workings of the rivet gun. A thorough understanding of the tool can be utilized more effectively, and extend the life span of the tool will last longer.

Typically, riveting is introduced on the other end of the plate and must be placed on top of the with the iron pad, before it is riveted. But, with rivet gun riveting, only one part of the process can be finished.

Riveting with a gun commonly used for riveting on the bottom of the iron which the hand or the top iron can’t reach.

The basic principle behind using a pull-rivet to rivet:

A pull-rivet is hollow one with a central stalk the stem’s end is a round collar, and the center is an indicator. The process of drilling the first rivet holes, is to insert the rivet and pull it using a pneumatic or manual.

The chuck of the rivet gun sets the nail stems that are used to rivet and then applies tension to the nail stems; the stems of the heads that are under tension will push the material of the less pliable nail head upwards and into the flange, in order to make sure it is tightly joined, and after that again apply tension till the nails have been pulled off then you can join the plate.

The advantages of using an abrasive gun:

Unidirectional operation that is quiet or vibrations; no harm to the workpiece; lightweight, simple and hygienic operation and time-saving; labor-saving and precise; high strength

Rivet guns uses specifications for rivets as well as kinds of the rivets.

1, pull rivets in accordance with the different materials, are divided into remove clips made of aluminum as well as stainless steel pull hooks two types of pins.

2. Depending on the various designs of the head The different shapes of the head of the rivet can be separated into round head-shaped pull rivets as well as dish head style pull clips.

Rivet gun riveting nail selection

Before using the gun to join the workpiece choosing the correct pulling rivet is crucial. The selection of the buckles generally is based on the following guidelines.

1 based on the choice of material for the workpiece of the same material, pull rivets.

2. The main substance used for joining the round head of the aluminum alloy Latin.

3. The surface of the workpiece needs an even choice of the dish-head rivets.

4. In places that contain acid or other corrosive materials in places that are prone to corrosion, use for stainless steel screws.

5. The size of the bolt, the length and thickness of the plate to determine the right rivet pulling.

6. In the diameter, hole is greater than that of pull rivet , which is approximately 0.1mm.

Manual rivet guns are divided into most likely and the decisive varieties. Its size gun is determined by its length. The gun is fitted with multiple nozzles identified with various calibers, that can be loaded or unloaded to be used in different situations when needed.

The rivet gun is equipped with steel claws that grip the nail stems and compresses nail head to create an ideal fitting.

Presently there are pneumatic rivet guns becoming more popular; using the pneumatic rivet gun could reduce time and effort. The basic idea behind this action is that you push the compressed air that is released from the connecting tube is pumped through the valve is directed to the piston, causing the piston within the gun’s body can move in a reciprocal manner to ensure that the rivet is created; the standard use of air pressure is approximately 0.1-0.7m3 per minute, with several gun nozzles, each is a different aperture. is able to be loaded or unloaded according to the demands of the alternate usage.
