2.3 Range of usage
The pneumatic-hydraulic tool is designed for riveting with:
rivet nuts 5/16-18’’~1/2-13’’ / M8-M12
rivet bolts ¼-20’’~5/16-18’’ / M6~M8 (steel)
2.4. Tool operation
The manufacturer equipped the tool with a anvil and mandrel for rivet nuts __. For riveting
of rivets with a different dimension, it is necessary to exchange the anvil and mandrel and
change basic set up and regulation of the tool as following:
1) Loosen the counter-nut of the anvil
2) Screw out the anvil from the front nozzle
3) Screw out the mandrel from the sleeve
4) Choose appropriate anvil and mandrel, see the following chart:
5) Screw the mandrel on to the sleeve (to the backstop) and then turn it back, so that the flats of
the hexagons of the screw-plug gauge and sleeve are matching.
6) Slide on the anvil to the hexagons of the mandrel and sleeve.
7) Screw on the anvil to the front nozzle.
8) Set-up the anvil:
for rivet nuts
the rivet nut is screwed on the whole length of the thread on the mandrel and the front of the
rivet nut leans on the anvil. Fasten the position of the anvil with a counternut.
for rivet bolts
set-up the anvil so that there is a cca 1 mm space between the outer side of the rivet
bolt and inner side of the anvil. do it as following: screw on the anvil to the backstop to the
mandrel and then screw it back one or two turns. Fasten the position of the anvil with a
counternut.
9) basic stroke set-up as following (does not apply for all types of rivet nuts):
