Solid Rivets — Applications & Typical Uses

Solid Rivets are used primarily for permanent, vibration-proof joints in sheet and plate. This page summarizes where they fit, the industries that rely on them, and the practical points to get right when you specify them — to ISO 1051 / DIN 660 / DIN 661. Stocked across roughly M1 to M25, they cover general to heavy-duty work.

Typical Applications for Solid Rivets

The most common settings where these are specified:

  • General machine building: fastening covers, brackets, motors and sub-assemblies on production equipment.
  • Maintenance & repair (MRO): a stocked size for servicing existing plant where the original fastener spec must be matched.
  • Fabrication & metalwork: bench and on-site assembly of steel frames, enclosures and weldments.
  • Sheet-metal assembly: permanent joints in ductwork, panels and enclosures.
  • Bodywork & trailers: blind joints where only one side is accessible.

How to Specify Solid Rivets for Your Application

  • Size: Match the nominal size to the mating thread or hole. This product spans M1–M25; check the full table below for the exact dimensions of each size.
  • Material: Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
  • Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
  • Standard: This product is supplied to ISO 1051 / DIN 660 / DIN 661. Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.

Where Solid Rivets Are Not the Right Choice

Not where the joint must later be disassembled, and not for high-tension structural connections.

Technical Drawing

Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Solid Rivets used for?

Permanent, vibration-proof joints in sheet and plate. They are supplied to ISO 1051 / DIN 660 / DIN 661.

Which industries use Solid Rivets?

They are commonly specified in general machine building, maintenance & repair (mro) and fabrication & metalwork, among other sectors.

How do I choose the right size of Solid Rivets?

Match the nominal size to the mating thread or hole. This product is available from M1 to M25; the full dimension table on this page lists each size.

Can Solid Rivets joints be taken apart?

No — rivets form a permanent joint and must be drilled out to remove. Use a bolt or screw where you need to disassemble the joint later.

Can I get a quote for Solid Rivets in the size and material I need?

Yes. Use the technical drawing and quote form on this page to set the size and options, then send the exact configuration to our team for pricing and lead time.
