Key Advantages of Flying Head Blind Rivets
Flying Head Blind Rivets are designed for specialized fastening applications where controlled rivet formation and material compatibility are important.
Suitable for Thin and Soft Materials
Designed for selected applications involving thin sheets or softer materials.
Reduced Risk of Material Damage
The appropriate rivet design can help reduce the risk of material deformation or pull-through.
Consistent Joint Formation
Proper rivet selection and installation help achieve consistent joint formation.
One-Side Installation
Allows fastening where access to the rear side of the workpiece is limited.
Specialized Mandrel Design
The flying head design supports the rivet’s intended setting mechanism and material formation.
Flexible Application Options
Available for specialized fastening requirements, depending on rivet dimensions, materials, and joint design.
Flying Head Blind Rivets vs Large Flange Blind Rivets
| Feature | Flying Head Blind Rivets | Large Flange Blind Rivets |
|---|---|---|
| Clamping Behavior | Forms secondary “flying head” for improved backside support | Improved surface grip (larger head) |
| Performance on Thin Materials | Excellent – reduces deformation and increases support | Good – distributes load on surface |
| Pull-Through Resistance | High (enhanced backside bearing area) | High (front-side support) |
| Strength Level (Shear & Tensile) | Moderate | Standard |
Typical Applications for Flying Head Blind Rivets
Flying Head Blind Rivets are used in applications requiring specialized fastening or clearance, including:
For general thin sheet applications, Large Flange Open-End Blind Rivets or Pull-Thru Blind Rivets may be alternatives.

FAQ – Flying Head Blind Rivets
Q1:What are Flying Head Blind Rivets used for?
Flying Head Blind Rivets are designed for specialized or clearance-sensitive applications where standard blind rivets may fail, including thin or soft materials.
Q2:Are Flying Head Blind Rivets suitable for blind-hole installations?
Yes. They are specifically engineered for blind-hole fastening, providing reliable clamping without backside access.
Q3:Can Flying Head Blind Rivets replace Large Flange Open-End Blind Rivets?
They serve different purposes. Flying Head Blind Rivets are for specialized clearance or mandrel-head applications, while Large Flange Open-End Blind Rivets provide increased front-side bearing surface.
Q4:What materials and finishes are available?
Aluminum, steel, and stainless steel combinations are available with finishes including zinc plating, black oxide, natural/plain, and custom coatings.
Q5:What tools are required for installation?
Manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered blind rivet tools compatible with flying head designs are recommended.
