Time to check out the new generation of industrial Power Riveters, proven heavy-duty workhorse tools ideal for demanding product assembly, maintenance, general metalworking and truck-transit-rail industry rivet work.
Most engineers and installers of structural blind rivets would agree that the selection of the correct setting tools is critical for a strong joint. Among the main issues to be decided when selecting a riveting tool include power to weight ratio, traction power rating, air-pressure operating requirements, stroke length, ergonomics, and ability to adapt different nose assembly configurations to accommodate a wide variety of specialty structural rivets.
The expert technicians at Bay Supply are glad to help and offer advice on these and any other questions. Of course, tool clearances are also critical. Distances from wall or projections to the rivet centerline must be checked to determine if the tool will fit. In some cases, if space is tight the issue can be solved by using a nosepiece extension. Another solution may be to set the rivet from the unobstructed side where the tool can be placed flush with the work. Our installation systems experts are also able to suggest a variety of ways to balance tools, and accommodate mandrel (pintail) removal.
Let’s take a look at some of the top choices in high-power tooling.
HUCK 2024
Designed for production volume fastening the Huck 2024 offers a number of outstanding features including an ergonomically designed handle, plated piston rods and a very long stroke. It is the ideal tool to enable one pull placement of long grip structural rivets like Monobolt®, Magnalok®, Hucklok®. An extended piston version (204L) is available and an optional vacuum assist pintail collection system (2024V) can be added.
HUCK 2022
The model Huck 2022 is a lightweight, high speed tool that is well-suited for both production and maintenance/repair applications where 1/4” and smaller diameter (standard and extended grip) blind rivets are used. The 2022 features an in-line, long stroke piston for production rates up to 30 installations per minute. The 2022’s ergonomically designed handle and lightweight (5.4 pounds) combine to minimize operator fatigue. A universal nose assembly (99-3487) is available that will accommodate a wide range of standard and structural 3/16” & 1/4" diameter rivets.
