The Star Set Semi Tubular Rivet secures the joint by partially deforming the hollow end during installation. This rivet type features a partial hole on one side, which reduces the force required to set it in place. The rivet is inserted through aligned holes of the materials being joined. A rivet-setting tool then rolls the tubular end outward to form a second head, clamping the materials together. The star set configuration offers enhanced surface grip and consistent deformation, facilitating the even distribution of pressure and maintaining joint integrity.Attributes:• Maintains alignment and compression during operation.• Distributes clamping pressure evenly to prevent damage to materials.• Resists loosening under normal operating conditions.Applications: The Star Set Semi Tubular Rivet is used to securely fasten seals, gaskets, and structural components within the pipelayer winch assembly and frame. It provides strong, vibration-resistant connections that maintain the integrity of sealing surfaces and body parts during operation.
