Chobert®
Speed fasteners which provide consistent controlled clamp, ideal for soft or brittle materials.
Overview
The Avdel Chobert® repetition rivet has been an important part of Avdel since the 1930’s when it was used in the renowned Spitfire. The Chobert Speed Fastening® system provides consistent controlled clamp, ideal for soft or brittle materials. The light clamp of the Chobert rivet makes it ideal for use as a pivot pin or hose tail.

- Expands radially during installation to ensure maximum hole fill
- Lower in-place costs than welding or nail rivets
- Ideal pivot pin or hose tail
- Hot tin dipped brass option for ease of soldering and good electrical continuity
- Placed using a unique repetition mandrel system for high speed assembly
- Can be bowl fed for larger volume applications using automated equipment
