HuckLok
Blind Rivets
®
Double-locking, wide-grip fasteners
for superior strength in a broad
variety of applications
1
HuckLok
®
A structural bulbing fastener ideal for joining a broad range of materials with variation of grip thicknesses,
giving it versatility in a host of applications.
Featuring a wide grip range and unique double-locking action, the HuckLok®
structural blind rivet combines high shear strength and high pull-up force. Its
double-locking action consistently secures the assembly from both sides,
resulting in maximum hold and joint integrity. Its large, blind-side footprint
prevents pull-through, even when joining a wide range of materials with
varying grip thicknesses.
In addition, HuckLok’s® positive mechanical core pin
retention design ensures structural integrity and long joint
life. Its breakaway ring design lets the shear ring settle into the
appropriate catch groove, keeping pressure on the blindside and
securing a consistent clamp throughout the entire wide grip range.
Designed to add efficiency to a wide range of joining
applications, HuckLok blind rivets are easy to install in seconds.
A quick visual review is all that is necessary to confirm the
accuracy of the installation, since the installed HuckLok’s
core pin being flush on the head of the
2
sleeve is proof of the success of the process.
Installation Sequence
1
2
Insert the HuckLok fastener into the hole and
slip the installation tool
over the pintail.
Press the trigger to
initiate pulling action.
As the tool pulls on the
pintail, the shear ring
pushes the rivet sleeve
outward, forming a
bulb that compresses
against and tightens the
application.
3
During bulb formation,
the shear ring forms a
support ring from the
rivet sleeve by creating
a build-up of material
above the ring.
4
5
(Min Grip) The shear
ring expands the sleeve
to its maximum capacity
then breaks free as it
meets the sheetline. It
is then pressed onto
the annular catch
grooves as the pulling
action continues. The
internal rivet shoulder
engages the lock groove
on the pin and forms
an internal lock. The
pintail then breaks
off, completeing the
installation.
(Max Grip) Shown in
maximum grip, the
shear ring expands the
sleeve to its maximum
capacity then breaks free
as it meets the sheetline.
Double locking occurs as
the shear ring moves up
the increased diameter
annular rings upon
completion of the pulling
sequence.
Secure, fast installation
Breaking flush throughout
its grip range, the HuckLok
blind rivet lets the worker
verify installation accuracy
at a glance and eliminates
costly cosmetic finishing
The HuckLok’s wide footprint
provides a broad blind-side bearing
surface that resists pull-through
Undercut fillet allows
seating in burred holes
Solid pin provides exceptionally
high strength in the shear plane
Lock groove on pin engages
shoulder on rivet head, while
the support ring “double locks”
the pin within the bulb
