Brake & Clutch Machines
 |
National Rivet’s brake and clutch rivet setting machines lead the industry. If you build brake pads and clutches, or if you re-line brakes for buses, trucks and other heavy vehicles, we can help you reduce or eliminate scrap and improve productivity.
Our brake and clutch riveters are known for their rapid cycle times and consistent setting performance. They have the ability to compensate for part thickness and hole location variations, overcoming situations that would otherwise deform parts.
If you have issues with excess scrap or loose rivets, or if you need to meet higher production goals, National Rivet’s engineers welcome customer questions. As a single-source provider of fastening systems, our engineers can isolate, identify and diagnose problems that others can’t. We can listen to your needs, run tests and prototypes in our labs and provide you with a new, more productive alternative. In fact, custom building brake and clutch machines is the norm at National Rivet.
Dual Riveter For Truck Brake Relining
Improves Cycle Time 30 Percent, Eliminates Scrap
Designed for re-lining truck brakes, National Rivet’s new Model 2850 dual brake machine reduces cycle time to less than 0.5 seconds while compensating for part thickness or rivet length variations. It improves production rates by more than 30 percent and eliminates scrapped linings. The Model 2850 features two air cylinders coupled by a unique linkage system. A small, fast stroke advance cylinder provides speed during the initial portion of the stroke, and then a larger cylinder provides increased upset force and compensates for minor thickness variations.
The Model 2850 features one fixed and one adjustable head. Simply stepping on a pedal
allows operators to reposition the movable head. This enables different spacing to take
up a second row of holes that are offset from the first. Productivity increases because
the Model 2850 eliminates machine changeover, the need to move the part to a different
station or the need to repeat the part across the anvil. If you need to line/re-line
more brakes per shift, select the Model 2850.
Hybrid Air/Oil Riveter Combines Speed & Power
Plus Compensates for Part Variations
National Rivet’s new Model 3000 hybrid air/oil machine offers a 0.6 second cycle
time and the force necessary to set a 3/8-in. rivet. Designed for bus brake re-lining
and other applications requiring a combination of speed and power, the Model 3000 also
compensates for variations in part thickness or rivet length to ensure tight settings
without crushing the part. Its direct acting, in-line driver design reduces wear points,
while a unitized steel column and head design minimizes deflection and retains precision
alignment between the anvil and the driver.
