If you’re looking for a strong, pull-out-resistant fastening solution, consider Zygology’s groove rivets. These fasteners are designed to create a tight fit when used with pre-drilled holes, even in high-vibration environments.

At Zygology, we source all our groove rivets from Qonnect, a globally trusted brand. Their premium groove rivets are perfect for industries like automotive, construction, or general manufacturing. 

Our Qonnect groove rivets are made from steel and aluminium, designed to deliver a reliable and long-lasting performance across a wide range of materials, including soft or brittle materials. 

What are Groove Rivets?

Grooved rivets are designed for use in softer materials such as wood, chipboard, heavy duty fibre boards and other difficult to rivet materials.

Frequently used in the manufacture of flight cases and purpose built transport containers grooved rivets provide a superior grip as they embed deeply into the host material.

You can even use groove rivets with materials like fibreglass, wood, plastics, or composite materials . 

Benefits of Groove Rivets

Our Qonnect groove rivets are superior to traditional rivets in certain applications, typically when used with softer hard-to-rivet materials. Here are some reasons these rivets stand apart from similar fasteners:

Enhanced Grip Strength

One of the main features you look for in any fastening is a high-strength grip. An accidental push shouldn’t make everything fall apart.

Groove rivets expand inside the hole, so the rivet body successfully holds the joint  completely secure. 

Vibration Resistance

Another key requirement for fasteners used in frequently used cases, boats etc, is vibration resistance. 

Our Qonnect groove rivets provide a unique gripping mechanism that ensures that your material stays firmly in place and won’t be dislocated by continuous vibrations. 

Increased Surface Area for Stronger Joints

If you’ve been using smooth-bodied rivets, you might have noticed that these have some limitations when it comes to keeping the material intact. 

Comparably, our Qonnect groove rivets increase the contact area between the fastener and the material. This allows the load to be distributed over a larger area and also reduces the chance of material damage. 

Improved Load Distribution

With the increase in contact area between the fastener and the material, groove rivets also have a better load-bearing capability. 

The load distribution also helps to reduce stress concentration, preventing the material from falling apart because of cracks or deformities. This is particularly helpful when you’re using materials like plastics or insulation.

Versatility with Different Materials

One of the biggest benefits of our Qonnect groove rivets is their ability to work across various materials. You can use them to fasten metal to wood, composite to metal, or even secure plastics. 

Since they’re so versatile, groove rivets can be used in diverse industries like construction, transportation, and renewable energy sectors.
