Compression rivet screws play a vital role in connecting and securing sheet materials. Their unique design and strong riveting force make them easily adaptable to various sheet thicknesses, ensuring stable connections and securement for both thin and heavy materials. Their ease of operation and efficiency have also led to their widespread use in applications such as chassis and cabinet fabrication. However, it is worth noting that in environments with limited space or when connecting sheets of varying thicknesses, blind rivet nuts may be a more suitable option.
Compression rivet screws come in two types: round and hexagonal heads. Round heads are more common, while hexagonal heads are less common. Common round-head compression rivet screws are designated A-M-B-C, where A represents the material designation, such as FH for carbon steel, FHS for stainless steel, and FHA for aluminum. Those with an N indicate a hexagonal head. M represents the thread size; ensure that the core hole size and thread size match.
B represents the length code, indicating the total length of the screw; for example, 6 indicates a 6mm screw length. C indicates the surface treatment method. For example, ZI stands for white zinc plating, ZU stands for blue zinc plating, and ZC stands for colored zinc plating.
