Product Introduction :

Hydraspeed-B is a blind Speed Fastening System having a bulbed tail providing consistent high clamp and shear, making it ideal for assembling many materials including metal, plastic and aluminum alloy. With easy installation and lower in-place costs than welding or nail rivet, this speed riveting system is extensively used for light fabrication needs

Key Features & Benefits :

• Bulbed tail and foreshortening of the fastener during installation ensures high clamp
• Bulbed tail and large head form provide a large bearing area for soft materials
• Tapered tail for ease of hole entry
• Expands radially during installation to ensure maximum hole fill
• Lower in-place costs than welding or nail rivets
• Hot tin dipped brass option for ease of soldering and good electrical continuity
• Stainless Steel option for applications subject to high temperatures or corrosion
• Placed using a unique repetition mandrel system for high speed assembly
• Can be bowl fed for larger volume applications using automated equipment

Assembly Materials :

• Hydraspeed-B can be used to fasten:
• Metal to metal
• Metal to plastic

Assembly Applications :

• Automotive

Product Introduction :

Hydraspeed-R is a blind Speed Fastening System having a threaded, removable speed fastener that combines the speed of rivet placement with the benefits of being able to remove and re-fasten. Using a Hydraspeed-R rivet removes the need for costly tapping or thread forming operation whilst creating a higher vibration resistant ‘thread lock’ compared to standard screws.

Key Features & Benefits :

• Circular expansion during installation to form a thread in host material
• Removable for servicing with a hex key and reusable
• Can be used to fasten most materials up to Vickers hardness 105 Hv5
• Eliminates the need for costly tapping or thread-forming operations
• Bright tin plated steel option for ease of soldering and increase electrical conductivity
• Placed using a unique repetition mandrel system for high speed assembly
• Can be bowl fed for larger volume applications using automated equipment
• Various lengths available providing high clamp loads
• Placed using a hexagon mandrel which expands the threaded diameter radially, Adjacent to its six corners.
• Providing a higher vibration resistant "thread lock" in the parent material Compared to standard screws

Assembly Materials :

Hydraspeed-R can be used to fasten:

• Depends on Hardness of base material.
• Metal to plastic
• Plastic to plastic
• Aluminium alloy
• Magnesium
• Nylon and die-cast zinc
• Electronic components

Assembly Applications :

• Aluminium die-cast boxes
• Cast magnesium
• Semi-conductors to thin wall and
• extruded heatsinks
• Semi-conductors to PCB's
• PCB's to chassis assemblies
• Fastening into injection molded plastic bosses
• General engineering involving plastics, nylon, polycarbonate, etc

Specifications :

• Sizes: 2.8mm to 4.8mm
• Material: steel
