Universal Fastening Systems

The fastener incorporates in its design 3 longitudinal grooves swaged or formed into a cylinder of material, which has the effect of increasing its diameter. In the case of unheaded pins, this may be over part or all of the length of the pin and may be of a tapered or parallel form. In the case of headed pins, the grooves are always parallel and, with blind drive pin rivets, the pin is used to expand the rivet and is retained in the body of the rivet.
