Adjusting the riveting tool
Adjusting stroke (H)
Note
The correct stroke (H) depends on the kind of blind rivet nut or
stud, on the thread size and on the thickness of the material
(s). You will standard values for the stroke in the table ”Stroke
Adjustment Dependent on Grip Range” on page 23-24. The
given values in the table are valid for blind rivet nuts and studs
manufactured by R
IVETEC
. If you use blind rivet nuts or
studs
from another manufacturers, please find out the values
from
the manufacturer when you do not have the relevant infor-
mation or instructions.
If the strength of the material deviates from the values, you must adjust
the stroke (H) accordingly:
— thinner material requires a larger stroke,
— thicker material requires a smaller stroke.
Attention
Material damage! If you do not know the stroke setting,
unscrew the adjustment screw (6.1) a few turns (ca. 5 mm) for
the automatic switch over to the left-handed rotation. This is to
ensure that the piston will not hit the back and the riveting tool
will not be damaged.
Attention
Material damage! Perform a sample riveting after every adjust-
ment and test the deformation of the blind rivet nut or stud. In
the above picture you can see the correct setting of a riveting,
taking a blind rivet nut as an example.
