Flying Head Blind Rivets
Flying Head Blind Rivets
Flying Head Blind Rivets are designed for applications requiring strong, secure fastening where the backside is inaccessible. RivetFast offers a range of Flying Head Blind Rivets in different materials, sizes, and finishes, providing reliable performance across industrial and manufacturing applications.
This product belongs to our Blind Rivets range.
What Are Flying Head Blind Rivets?
Flying Head Blind Rivets are engineered for applications where standard blind rivets cannot provide sufficient clearance or joint formation. The flying head design allows the mandrel to protrude during installation, forming a secure and consistent joint in thin, soft, or specialized substrates.
Key Advantages of Flying Head Blind Rivets
Ideal for thin sheets, soft materials, or specialized fastening applications
Reduces risk of material deformation or pull-through
Provides consistent clamping force
Compatible with blind-hole installations where backside access is limited
Flying head mandrel ensures proper material expansion and joint formation
Available Materials, Head Types & Surface Finishes
Materials
Aluminium Alloy、Stainless Steel 、Steel
Surface treatment
Zinc Plating、Anodizing、Special Coatings
Head Type
Flying Dome Head、Large Flange Flying Head
Customized sizes and colors are available according to customer drawings.
Specifications & Sizes Options for Flying Head Blind Rivets
Flying Head Blind Rivets are manufactured in various diameters and grip ranges to suit different material thicknesses.
Installation Tools & Setting Process for Flying Head Blind Rivets
Flying Head Blind Rivets can be installed using manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered blind rivet tools compatible with flying mandrel designs.
Insert rivet into pre-drilled hole→Engage the mandrel with the riveting tool→Pull the mandrel until the flying head forms a secure joint→Inspect for proper expansion and joint retention
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:
- Electrical enclosures and control boxes
- Automotive components with limited access
- Appliance housings and sheet metal panels
- Thin or soft materials that need precise clamping
- Custom engineering assemblies
For general thin sheet applications, Large Flange Open-End Blind Rivets or Pull-Thru Blind Rivets may be alternatives.

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.
