Chobert®

Speed fasteners which provide consistent controlled clamp, ideal for soft or brittle materials.

Overview

The Avdel Chobert® speed fastener 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.

Key features and benefits

Internally tapered bore ensures consistent light clamp to reduce potential damage to soft or brittle materials
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
