Why Shoulder Rivets Are the Ideal Fastening Solution

Just one of the wide range nuts and screws used in application from automotive, electronics, furniture, and industrial applications are shoulder rivets. Rotating/kneed shoulder rivets: Shoulder rivets are different from standard rivets because there is a smooth, unthreaded part (shoulder) between the head and the shank that permits extremely precise spacing, movement, and load distribution.

Durability and Strength

Made from stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and carbon steel, shoulder rivets are strong in shear and tensile strength. These bearings handle heavy loads and vibrations, making them suitable for high-performance machinery and moving parts.

Alignment and spacing are consistent

The shoulder maintains uniform space between fasteners and prevents component wear. This capability is important for hinges, linkages, and mechanical assemblies, where alignment must be accurate.

Improved Load Distribution

Shoulder rivets lessen the distribution of crushing pressure compared to standard rivets, which can damage the material. They are typically used in plastic, wood, and metal applications, where the application of excessive force can lead to deformation.

Versatile Applications

The shoulder rivets are commonly used in electronic components, the aircraft, the automotive assembly and furniture manufacturing. They act as pivot points, spacers, and bearing surfaces that enable controlled motion and rotation in mechanical systems.

Simple Setup and Lifetime Grip

Shoulder rivets are easy and affordable to install and only require a couple of tools. This creates a permanent, vibration-resistant connection, reducing maintenance and replacements costs when set.

Conclusion

Shoulder rivets offer key benefits, providing strength, durability, and accurate alignment when used, which is why they are widely used in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. Custom shoulder rivets ensure durable and reliable fastening solutions in automotive, electronics, furniture, etc.
