Structural Rivets
GO-LOCK structural rivets are engineered with an internal mechanical interlock that ensures 100% mandrel retention upon setting. This interlocking mechanism yields significant shear and tensile strength, making the fastener highly suitable for dynamic load-bearing joints subject to extreme vibration. The rivets offer an extended grip range and provide substantial clamp-up force, capable of creating watertight seals in properly prepared holes. They are deployed extensively in commercial transportation manufacturing, heavy industrial machinery, and structural steel framing.
The GO-LOCK structural rivet is a high-performance, specialized blind fastener designed to deliver exceptional strength and reliability in highly demanding engineering applications. Engineered with an innovative internal mechanical interlock, this structural rivet ensures 100% mandrel retention upon setting. This advanced interlocking mechanism not only provides a clean, flush break but also yields significant shear and tensile strength compared to standard blind rivets. Capable of creating secure, watertight seals in properly prepared holes, the GO-LOCK structural rivet is the ideal choice for dynamic load-bearing joints subject to extreme vibration and mechanical stress, offering an extended grip range that simplifies inventory and assembly processes.
To accommodate a wide array of environmental conditions and engineering requirements, GO-LOCK structural rivets are manufactured from premium, durable materials. The available material options include lightweight Aluminium, high-strength Steel, and corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel. The stainless steel variations are typically supplied in the A2 grade, providing excellent defense against rust and oxidation in outdoor or damp environments. In terms of protective coatings, these rivets are available in several finishes, including Zinc Plated, Plain, and Clear Trivalent Zinc. These finishing options offer versatile solutions that balance aesthetic requirements with functional durability and galvanic compatibility.
The core advantage of the GO-LOCK structural rivet lies in its advanced mechanical properties and internal design. It boasts remarkably high shear strength and high tensile strength, which are absolutely vital for maintaining heavy-duty structural integrity under load. The integrated mechanical locking mechanism permanently locks the mandrel into place, making the joint highly vibration resistant and effectively preventing mandrel rattle or loss over time. Furthermore, its multi-grip capability and excellent hole-filling characteristics ensure a secure, flush-break installation even in slightly irregular, misaligned, or oversized holes, thereby greatly enhancing joint reliability.
With its robust load-bearing capabilities and structural integrity, the GO-LOCK structural rivet is deployed extensively across various heavy industries. It is highly valued in commercial transportation manufacturing for assembling truck cabs, trailers, and RV bodies, as well as in the construction sector for structural steel framing and architectural cladding. Additionally, its high strength and watertight sealing properties make it a preferred fastening solution in Marine & Aerospace applications, along with Tank & Container Manufacturing, where resistance to vibration and long-term durability are paramount for safety.
In summary, the GO-LOCK structural rivet stands out as a premier fastening solution for complex applications that demand uncompromising strength and consistent vibration resistance. By combining a mechanical mandrel lock with versatile material options and a forgiving multi-grip design, it delivers secure, long-lasting performance in the most rigorous industrial environments.
