Remache ciego GESIPA 6300960 cuerpo de aluminio vástago de acero 5×16 mm para espesor de material 10–12 mm

Blind Rivet GESIPA 6300960 is a blind (one-sided) fastening element with an aluminum body and a steel mandrel, sized 5×16 mm and intended for joining materials with a total thickness of 10–12 mm. Designed for situations with access only from one side, this rivet creates a permanent mechanical joint suitable for metal, mixed-material assemblies and panel work where a flush or semi-flush finish is required.

Advantages

The combination of an aluminum body and a steel mandrel provides a balance of light weight and high mandrel strength, ensuring secure deformation and reliable clamp across the joined materials. The 5×16 mm dimensions make the rivet appropriate for medium-thickness assemblies while the blind-installation design simplifies mounting when the backside of the joint is inaccessible. The product delivers consistent setting behavior and durable fastening for repeated industrial and maintenance applications.

Suitable for

• Joining metal sheets and profiles in one-sided access situations
• Fastening mixed-material assemblies (metal to plastic, metal to composite)
• Mounting panels, brackets and light structural elements
• Repair and maintenance where permanent blind fasteners are required

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminum
• Mandrel material: steel
• Rivet diameter: 5 mm
• Overall mandrel length: 16 mm
• Suitable total material thickness: 10–12 mm
• Type: blind (one-sided) rivet

How to use

Drill a hole of the correct diameter through the materials to be joined, clean the hole of debris, then insert the rivet so the aluminum body passes fully through the workpieces and the flange rests against the outer surface. Use an appropriate blind rivet tool or rivet gun sized for 5 mm rivets, engage the steel mandrel in the tool, and actuate the tool according to the manufacturer's instructions until the mandrel breaks and the rivet body forms a blind head on the far side. After setting, ensure the joint is tight and the flange sits flush or as required by the application.

Recommendations

For best results, select a drill bit that matches the rivet diameter, verify the combined material thickness is within the 10–12 mm range, and use a hand or pneumatic rivet tool compatible with 5 mm rivets. Avoid excessive side loads on the joint during setting and perform corrosion compatibility checks when joining dissimilar metals in exposed environments.
