Tape Cable Clamps electronics and furniture and more. The popularity of
these type of fasteners only grows each year because they have been proven to be
costversatile and effective, and easy to use in an assortment of
applications.Some of the most popular and most used fasteners are push and
rivets-in clips. Both have a wide array of applications and uses. Here is a
small break-down of these fasteners and how rivets and push-in clips can make
your daily jobs a little bit easier.
A rivet is used to simply hold
together or connect two or more pieces. In fact, most rivets can secure almost
any material. You would think that a fastener that is so versatile would be
complicated or technical. However, most rivets have a simple design that
includes a head on one end and a tail on the other end. And like most of the
fasteners created by Volt Industrial Plastics, they come in many different
sizes, shapes, and materials.
Ratchet rivets are commonly used to hold
together panels of rigid or compressed materials. Their simple design allows you
to achieve a secure and tamper-proof fit by simply pulling the two identical
pieces together. They are most commonly used inappliances and vehicles, and
furniture. Choosing to go with nylon or other plastic materials is always a plus
because it is corrosion resistant. Volt also produces ratchet rivet extenders.
This allows you to use ratchet rivets in panels with a larger
thickness.
You probably come across a snap rivet every single day without
realizing it. They are used in a variety of applications because they can be
used in both rigid and flexible materials. Snap rivets are usually small in size
and have a male and female component. As the name suggests, these rivets simply
snap together. They are also great for those who want a nice finished look to be
seen on both sides of the assembly. And like many of the fasteners produced by
Volt, snap rivets come in different sizes and dimensions in order to fasten
materials of various thickness.
