Fan rivets are specifically designed for manual installation. They are simply pulled in through holes in the panel or base. Made of an elastomer material, they offer excellent toughness, allowing for quick installation even in interference fits. Their clever design and elasticity, combined with the appropriate hole diameter, prevent slippage after being pulled in. Fan rivets are primarily used for securing fans, heatsinks, and chips in computer cases, providing vibration damping and noise reduction.
Drive-in rivets are a new type of riveting fastener that is very convenient for riveting. They offer unique advantages in confined spaces or environments where a rivet gun is unavailable or cannot be used. Two or more components can be riveted together by striking the rivet core from one side with a hammer or similar tool. Drive-in rivets can be classified by the shape of the head and brim into flat-head drive-in rivets and countersunk-head drive-in rivets. Based on material combinations, they can be categorized as all-aluminum drive-in rivets, aluminum-steel drive-in rivets, all-stainless steel drive-in rivets, steel-steel drive-in rivets, aluminum-stainless steel drive-in rivets, and plastic drive-in rivets, among others. Unlike blind rivets, which require a manual or pneumatic rivet gun for riveting, knock-fit rivets offer better riveting performance and convenience, making them widely applicable for riveting various connected parts.
Plastic tree-shaped rivets, also known as inverted-tooth plastic rivets or Christmas tree-shaped plastic rivets, feature flexible, toothed plates that can be manually pressed into the interference fit hole for installation. The toothed plates adjust to the actual thickness for secure fixation. The inverted-tooth design ensures a firm hold after installation, preventing easy removal. They are suitable for securing soft materials such as foam, wood, rubber, and automotive interior materials. Plastic tree-shaped rivets possess excellent insulation, fire resistance, non-magnetic properties, heat insulation, lightweight, high-temperature resistance, high strength, and corrosion resistance, making them widely used in various industrial fields.
