- Air powered
compression riveters deliver a squeezing
action, which drives the rivet by “Flowing”
the rivet metal with compressed forces.
Squeezing action is obtained by coupling
an air cylinder and piston to a wedge
or cam, thus multiplying the original
force to extreme ratios. High compressive
forces are obtained from a relatively
compact unit having small diameter cylinders
and using very little compressed air.
- Extensively
used in assembly of aircraft, trucks,
buses, boats, appliances, automotive
components, metal furniture, toys and
electronic chassis.
- Actuation
throttle guard - reduces the risk of
accidental operation
- Short stroke
adjustment - aids positioning of the
tool (limits the return travel of the
moving set of the tool on the rivet
to reduce the starting clearance between
rivet and rivet sets)
