Pneumatic rivet nut gun: This type of pneumatic rivet gun has a threaded bar nose piece that rivnuts (Figure 4 left) thread onto.

A pop rivet is also referred to as a blind rivet.

Pneumatic pop rivet gun: An air operated pop rivet gun is the main focus of this article and has a nose piece that pop rivets (Figure 4 right) fit into.

There are two types of pneumatic rivet guns: a pneumatic pop rivet gun and a pneumatic rivet nut gun. Learn more in our article about pneumatic hosing and tubing.

PA is strong and light, but less flexible than PE and PU. PU is very flexible, kink resistant, and durable.

Pneumatic hose: Pneumatic hoses are typically manufactured from plastics such as polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PE) and polyamide (PA).A compressor will need to be able to supply at least that amount. Most air rivet tools will use 4 to 5 cubic feet/minute (8.5 cubic meters per hour) at 90 PSI (6.2 bar) under continuous use. A compressor is therefore an essential part of a pneumatic tool kit. Compressed air source: To operate any type of compressed-air driven tool, it is necessary to have a proper supply of compressed air.When air enters the cylinder, the piston pushes against the spring, which leads to the jaws pulling on the rivet’s mandrel until it snaps off, meaning the rivet is installed.

Within the cylinder is a piston held in position by a spring. Depending on the orientation of the rivet gun, mandrels may instead fall out of the nose piece.Ī user squeezes the trigger (Figure 3 labeled D) to cause air to flow from the air compressor, into the air inlet (Figure 3 labeled E) and into the cylinder (Figure 3 labeled F). The capture cup (Figure 3 labeled C) catches rivet mandrels that shoot back when they break off of the rivet head. The jaw case assembly cover (Figure 3 labeled B) contains the jaws that hold onto the rivet’s mandrel and pull it back during rivet installation. Typically, rivets are 2-20mm in diameter and 5-50 mm in length. A user can replace a nose piece using a special wrench that also comes with the air rivet gun. Additional nose pieces come with the rivet gun to accommodate different sized rivets. The RT90P comes with a mandrel catcher to prevent stray mandrels from cluttering your work area and includes the necessary fittings to operate on home compressors up to 90psi.Figure 3: Parts of a pneumatic rivet gun: nose piece (A), jaw case assembly cover (B), capture cup (C), trigger (D), air inlet (E), and cylinder (F).Ī pneumatic rivet gun’s nose piece (Figure 3 labeled A) holds the rivet during installation.
