Because of our engineering expertise, automotive, heavy-duty truck, bus and other vehicle manufacturers rely on TKW Fasteners.

Our standard style numbers meet most brake rivet and clutch rivet needs, but we also offer rivets with increased corrosion resistance and tapered shank rivets that provide up to 47% more break-away torque than standard rivets. A tapered shank, semi-tubular rivet can give better support. As the rivet clinches, sidewall thickness increases, so the rivet is less likely to collapse during clinching.

 
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
 
   
   
   
   

Single Source Solution

Look to TKW Fasteners as a single-source solution for rivets clutch/brake rivet applications. Our engineers understand that a standard rivet may not meet everyone needs.

If you experience unacceptable scrap or productivity rates, we can:

  • Modify rivets so that they expand more consistently in your application
  • Produce a machine that compensates for variations in work thickness
  • Design machines that combine both rapid cycle time and powerful sets
  • Offer two-headed, flexible machines to accommodate a variety of hole patterns

By working with TKW Fasteners, one truck and brake customer increased output by 30% over an eight-hour shift. We simultaneously lowered cycle times and reduced reject rates.

§ Rivets reference E and F with a shank length (L) less than 5/16 inch have a tube depth (T) of 1/8 inch.
† Rivets reference G and H with a shank length (L) less than 5/16 inch have a tube depth (T) of 5/32 inch.
‡ Rivets reference J and K with a shank length (L) less than 3/8 inch have a tube depth (T) of 5/32 inch.

All rivets are embossed showing the rivet reference letter and the shank length(L) where the shank length is specified by whole numbers of 1/16 inch increments. 1/32 inch increments are specified as half whole numbers eg: 0.5
