M-Bulb Rivets
Clamp-Type Bulbing · Extreme Shear • Ø d = 4.8 – 7.9 mm
Engineering Overview
A unique, clamp-type fastener offering high shear strength in specific applications. Its bulbing action during installation spreads the load over more surface area, supplying a stronger, longer-lasting connection, while offering superior blind side strength.
