STRUCTURAL BLIND RIVETS FOR JOINTS IN SCAFFOLDING SYSTEMS

THE CHALLENGE: joint function, not fastening

The application required a completely different approach than conventional fasteners:

• The rivet was not used to join materials, but to act as a joint for a mechanical hook.

• Manual installation was required – automatic machines were not feasible.

• Standard rivets or solid rivets had too long installation times.

• The application involved two thin sheets with an empty cavity, requiring a longer body rivet.

• High shear strength was crucial to ensure mechanical stability.

SARIV’S SOLUTION: custom high-performance steel blind rivet

To solve the production and mechanical criticalities, Sariv has developed a steel blind rivet, optimised with:

• Extended body length to match the internal cavity of the application.

• Tight dimensional tolerances for precise hook fit.

• Mandrel with long breaking point to maximize shear resistance.

• Manual-friendly installation, with reduced cycle time.

• Faster, safer, and structurally stronger features than the previous solution.

RESULTS ACHIEVED

With Sariv solution, the customer obtained:

• Improved safety and stability of the scaffolding

• Significantly faster assembly

• Fewer mounting errors

• A more robust and compliant structural product
