J-System rivet D7337A PLK alu/st 3.2 x 8.0 klembereik 3.5-5.0 mm

The dimensions are in the name: 3.2 is the diameter of the nail in millimetres, 8.0 the length of the sleeve. The clamping range of 3.5 to 5.0 mm indicates how thick the materials to be joined may be together. This article falls under mechanical fastening.

When does the rivet d7337a plk alu/st 3.2x8.0 clamping range 3.5-5.0 mm fit?

Add up the thickness of all layers you want to fasten. If that total falls between 3.5 and 5.0 mm, this nail is suitable. If the stack is thinner, the nail may not set properly. If it is thicker, the sleeve is too short and you will not get a firm closure. Therefore always measure the actual total thickness, including any intermediate layers or coating.

Drilling and setting

Drill a hole that suits the nail diameter. This is usually slightly larger than 3.2 mm, but check the manufacturer's specifications. Push the nail through both materials and pull it tight with a blind rivet tool suitable for 3.2 mm. The mandrel breaks off once the joint is closed. Use the tool according to the manual and wear safety glasses, as the broken-off mandrel can fly off.

Aluminium with steel mandrel: what should you consider?

An aluminium sleeve is light and easy to deform, which makes it work well in sheet metal and light constructions. For heavily loaded joints or applications with high strength requirements, look at the required type and load values. For outdoor use or contact with other metals, the material can affect corrosion. If in doubt, ask for advice before ordering.
