THE NEW SARIBOLT PLUS STRUCTURAL BLIND RIVET 6.4×19: WHAT CHANGES AND WHY

✔ WHAT IS SARIBOLT PLUS STEEL 6.4×19?

Saribolt Plus is our high-performance structural blind rivet designed for applications where mechanical reliability and fastening stability are non-negotiable. The steel 6.4×19 version is intended for industrial and automotive environments where operational stresses require a fastening solution capable of maintaining its characteristics over time.

Key product features:

• High resistance to static and dynamic loads

• Controlled and consistent fastening, even under demanding operating conditions

• Reliable and repeatable performance across large production batches

• Long-term performance stability, even in environments exposed to vibrations or thermal variations

✔ WHAT CHANGES COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION?

The main technical improvement concerns the grip range, meaning the total material thickness that the rivet can effectively fasten:

• PREVIOUS VERSION: 9–16 mm

• NEW VERSION: 2.5–16 mm

Extending the grip range down to 2.5 mm makes it possible to cover applications with thinner materials that previously required a dedicated part number. In practical terms, this means:

• Reduced part number fragmentation: fewer references to manage in catalogues and warehouses

• Greater design flexibility: a single component covers a wider application range

• Improved industrial management efficiency: simplified ordering and reduced risk of stock shortages across multiple references

✔ HOW DO WE WORK ON CUSTOMIZATION AND APPLICATION CO-DESIGN?

Saribolt Plus configuration can be customized. We work with our technical partners through a co-design approach, adapting the component to the specific application context and production process.

The customization options we offer include:

• Custom zinc plating and surface finishes — for corrosion resistance tailored to the operating environment

• Configurable shank length — to match actual joint thicknesses without intermediate solutions

• Custom logo — for component traceability and brand identification throughout the supply chain

Our goal is to optimize the component according to your application, not the other way around. This is a key distinction in manufacturing environments where every variable directly affects lead times, costs, and final product quality.

✔ DO WE ALSO HANDLE SMALL BATCHES?

Yes. We structure our production to support both high-volume manufacturing and specific low-volume requirements. This is a deliberate choice: we know that during product development, prototyping, or low-volume applications, high-performance technical components are also needed in limited quantities.

What we offer in this area:

• Custom production even for small quantities

• Application management for Industrial and Automotive sectors

• Technical support in defining the most efficient solution for your production process

✔ WHERE DO WE PRODUCE SARIBOLT PLUS?

We design and manufacture Saribolt Plus entirely in Italy, in our own facilities. This choice is not just about origin: it means we maintain direct control over every stage of the process and can respond quickly whenever a customer has specific requirements.

In practical terms, this ensures:

• Direct control over every production stage — from raw material to finished product

• Full production batch traceability

• Fast response times for customizations and urgent supply requests

• Consistent and verifiable quality without dependence on external supply chains

✔ WHY CHOOSE SARIBOLT PLUS STEEL 6.4×19?

It is the right choice when your application requires:

• A structural blind rivet with a wide grip range (2.5–16.0 mm) under a single part number

• High and repeatable mechanical performance over time, even under critical operating conditions

• The possibility to configure the component according to technical and process specifications

• An industrial partner capable of managing co-development, customization, and continuous supply
