TIFAS^® Maxgrip Blind Rivets

The key feature of the TIFAS^® Maxgrip is the design of the blind side footprint. As the rivet is being installed, the sleeve material moves radially outwards to form a disk-like blind side footprint. At the same time, the mandrel head does not plunge into the sleeve but deforms on swaging, much like a pair of bellows. Compared to standard blind rivets, the diameter of the blind side footprint generated by TIFAS^® Maxgrip rivets is not only larger but their more favourable shape makes for a stronger fastening.

The blind side footprint of the TIFAS^® Maxgrip is larger, which enables the disk-shaped head to rest on the rivet. The level of resistance to the installed rivet becoming unriveted is therefore significantly higher.
