Blind Rivets are multi-piece rivet assemblies, capable of being installed from one side of
the workpiece. Traditionally, blind rivets were used on aircraft
leading edges, trailing edges, and close out areas which are
limited to access to one side of the structure. Current
blind rivet usage has expanded to many additional areas of the
aircraft in an effort to decrease labor expense and to address
the ergonomic issues of solid riveting.
| CherryMAX® "Bulbed" Rivet |
|
 |
Bulbed CherryMAX® is
a lock spindle blind rivet with a visibly inspectable mechanical
locking device and its own installation anvil, which eliminates
the problems resulting from worn tool anvils. The CherryMAX® rivet
is the most reliable, high strength structural fastener
with visual inspectibility in the world today. It
features the "Safe-lock" locking collar for more
reliable joint integrity.
CherryMAX® tooling
provides the simplest, most trouble-free installation tooling
system. CherryMAX® fasteners are currently
available in 1/8" through 1/4" diameters in both
nominal and 1/64" oversize diameters. The tools utilize
one pulling head to install many diameters, head configurations,
and material combinations. |

The Cherry SST® Blind Rivet System was
designed to solve many of the blind fastening problems
associated with aircraft assemblies requiring superior
sheet take-up. Installation of the SST Blind
Rivet System ensures consistent and permanent fastening
of difficult assemblies with inherent gapping or slightly
misaligned holes. The SST Blind
Rivet System can be installed with standard CherryMAX® tooling,
with no adjustments needed. Eliminate sheet gaps in your
toughest assemblies...use the SST Blind
Fastening System for Superior Sheet Take-up. |

| Cherry® Pull Through Nut Plate Rivet |
|
 |
Cherry Pull through "hollow" Nut Plate rivets are used where the
high shear strength of the self-plugging type is not required. This
design provides tight clinch and excellent hole filling
characteristics. This pull through rivet is primarily
used in nut plate applications and meets the torque-out
and push-out requirements of Mil-N-25027 for nut plates.
Available in mild steel and A-286 stainless steel rivet
sleeves. Meets MS20604 and MS20605 requirements.

| Cherry SPR™ 3/32" Self-Plugging
Rivet |
|
 |
The new Cherry 3/32” SPR® Self-Plugging Rivet” from
Cherry Aerospace , provides higher strength than
pull through rivets, yet still is in the lower price range
of nut plate rivets. The Cherry 3/32” SPR blind
rivet is ideal for securing nut-plates located in non-accessible
and hard to reach areas where bucking or squeezing of solid
rivets is unacceptable. Developed to replace solid and
pull through rivets in non-structural applications, the
unique product design allows for a positive lock to be
achieved without an additional lock ring component. Installed
with single action tooling, the Cherry SPR stem
breaks flush with the rivet head during installation. |

Cherry® MS rivets
have been a reliable standard of the industry ever since
their introduction in 1937. Although superseded in
1960 by the new locked spindle specifications NAS1400 and
NAS1740, Cherry MS rivets are still widely used in manufacturing,
maintenance and repair and meet the qualification requirements
of Mil-R-7885 Type II. Cherry MS rivets are manufactured
with serrated stems. The earlier, knob stem configuration
is considered obsolete. Cherry blind installation tools may be
used to install these rivets merely by changing the pulling
head. |
