Placing Tools for Rivets and Rivet Nuts

Zygology offers a range of Breakstem rivet tools to fit all requirements and budgets. For high volume production the POP Avdel Proset XT range is second to none in terms of performance, ease of use and durability. For a budget offering we have the Qonnect range. These are high quality tools – but offered at a slightly lower price point.

Battery tools are now becoming very popular  -and we have a great range of these to suit most applications.

The home user and maintenance requirements are catered for with our hand tool offering.

Our range of rivet nut tooling covers all requirements. For the demands of volume production the Avdel XTN20 or 74200 tools are ideal. The XTN20 is new to the range and offers many new features in an extremely lightweight package. The 74200 has an enviable reputation for durability and reliability. For those on a tighter budget, we offer the Qonnect air power tool range. These excellent robust tools are suited to medium volume assembly and offer excellent value for money. For low volume work – or for those without access to compressed air - we also have a range of hand tools capable of placing inserts up to M12 thread size in steel.

Speed Fastening is a concept unique to Avdel. The system uses pre loaded cartridges which are loaded into especially designed air powered tools. These tools are available in various forms from hand held versions for larger applications to a variety of bench mounted versions for smaller products and PCB assembly. Speed Fasteners come in sizes from 1.6 millimetre (1/16") to 6.4 millimetre (1/4") diameter.

Structural fasteners are used in heavy duty applications. As a result they require tools designed especially designed to install them correctly. The Avdel Genesis nG3 and nG4 tools generate high pull forces from standard compressor air pressure in order to install structural fasteners quickly and without fuss.

Lockbolts are especially strong fasteners which provide high strength joints. The tools needed to install this type of fastener are designed to generate extremely high pull forces and have special nose equipment designed specifically to install lockbolts. The trade name for Avdel lock bolts is Avdelok, although they are also commonly known as Huck bolts.

The Genesis range of tools is capable of placing most sizes of Avseal plug. For low volume users the 07540 long arm riveter can also be used.
