This detailed product description was created for you to provide a comprehensive overview of the high-quality, self-piercing steel rivet belonging to the Wieländer+Schill XSeries professional riveting technology. This component offers an ideal solution for the reliable and durable joining of sheet metal parts, especially during automotive body repair work.
This self-piercing rivet is specifically designed to fasten sheet metal parts together without the need for pre-drilling. The „self-piercing” technology allows the rivet to pierce the layers itself during insertion, after which the end of the rivet deforms under the action of the tool, creating a solid, leak-proof connection. This method significantly speeds up the assembly process while ensuring OE (factory) quality fastening.
The product is perfectly suitable for connecting body parts, panels, and other metal structures where high tensile strength and resistance to vibration are essential. The steel base material guarantees mechanical stability, while the surface treatment ensures corrosion protection.
The precise sizing and material of the rivet ensure compatibility with professional XSeries riveting tools. The table below summarizes the most important technical parameters:
| Property | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Part number | 777218 | The unique identifier of the product |
| Material | Steel | High-strength structural material |
| Diameter (Ø) | 3.3 mm | Nominal diameter of the rivet body |
| Length | 3.5 mm | Total length of the rivet before installation |
| Coating | ZnSnAl | Zinc-tin-aluminum coating for excellent corrosion protection |
| Package contents | 100 pieces/package | Factory packaging quantity |
| Overall dimensions (Length × Width × Height) | 3.5 x 10.5 x 8.8 mm | Dimension of the rivet head and body |
| Weight | 0.030 kg | Net weight of the 100-piece package |
This rivet type is also available in other lengths to optimally fit different sheet metal thicknesses:
4.0 mm
5.0 mm
6.0 mm
A ZnSnAl (Zinc-tin-aluminum) The coating provides outstanding protection against corrosion, which is particularly important in vehicle bodies where moisture and environmental influences constantly stress the joints. This coating ensures a long service life and maintains structural integrity.
The use of self-piercing rivets with XSeries technology brings several advantages for workshops:
Faster Workflow: No need for pre-drilling, which significantly reduces repair time.
Higher Strength: The joint created by self-piercing technology often surpasses traditional rivets or welds in certain load cases, especially in applications requiring high clamping force.
OE Compliance: Wieländer+Schill products meet the strict quality requirements of leading automotive manufacturers, ensuring professional and warrantable repairs.
Material Compatibility: Excellent for joining metal sheets of various thicknesses and types (e.g., steel).
This 3.3 mm diameter, 3.5 mm long steel rivet (777218) is the ideal choice for fastening standard thickness sheet metal structures where reliability and quick execution are crucial.
