Innovative fastening system offers many advantages

Gould Fasteners can supply the new range of NeoSpeed rivets from Avdel, a Stanley Engineered Fastening company. These innovative rivets feature a newly developed blind fastening system, with a unique splined rivet design that is patented.

Key features and advantages

The NeoSpeed riveting system offers many benefits. These include:

• Increased manufacturing throughput that is up to four times greater than traditional threaded or breakstem fasteners;
• Rapid installation;
• Improved quality;
• Easier inspection;
• No metal waste;
• Enhanced joint performance for less weight and size;
• Lower assembly costs;
• Multi-grip capability that accommodates wide variations in material thickness;
• A hole size tolerance that is three times greater than standard breakstem rivets;
• An enlarged front sheet hole for easier and quicker assembly, which also avoids misalignment issues;
• Hole-filling external splines that fill rear sheet and oversize front sheet holes, as well as misaligned holes; 
• Reduced energy consumption; and
• Decreased sensitivity — they are far less sensitive to application variations.

Fastening system details

These rugged units are made from aluminium, steel and A4 stainless steel (316), with various finishes available. Three sizes are also available, ranging from 3.2 to 4.8 millimetres (⅛ to 3/16 inches).
