All forces under control: riveted joints in the automotive industry
The use of joining technology in the automotive and automotive supply industries is characterised by specific requirements and high quality standards. These requirements are precisely defined in the specifications for each project. Riveted joints generally meet many of these requirements. This makes such projects ideal for Hang’s riveting machines.
Whether it is a matter of withstanding tensile and shear forces or using hole reinforcements as tear-out protection or stabilisers, the use of riveting technology offers excellent solutions for these applications.
Riveting is the method of choice, particularly when joining multiple layers – known as sandwich joints. It enables both identical and dissimilar materials, such as metals and plastics, to be joined firmly and securely – quickly and at low unit costs.
Riveted joints are also ideal for hinged connections. This is particularly relevant for components that require mobility, such as doors or flaps. This fast yet cost-effective method of joining therefore makes riveting the preferred joining technique for many designers.
“The even load distribution provided by riveted joints prevents the concentration of stresses at individual points. This is particularly important, for example, for ring gears used in gearboxes and other drive systems.”
