If rivets are placed to close to the edge of the sheet the sheet is apt to crack or pull away from the rivets.
Edge distance for holes in sheet metal.
Therefore the minimum distance between the extruded hole to edge if maintained.
The minimum distance between holes is directly proportional to the size and shape for the hole feature and the material thickness.
If they are placed too far away from the edge the sheet is apt to turn up at the edge.
Extruded hole to part edge b 3t d 2.
For holes the minimum distance between the hole s edge is 2 times the material thickness plus the hem s radius.
Flush head rivets require an edge distance of at least 2 1 2 times the diameter.
The minimum distance the edge of a hole should be from a form is three times the material thickness plus the bend radius.
Minimum 2 times material thickness between holes.
Center of extruded holes a 5 hole dia 2t extruded hole and bend edge c 3t r d 2.
A look at the formula for the edge distance or setback that is required when drilling rivet holes near the edge of a metal sheet.
Usually the preferred distance between holes and a bend is 1 5 times the sheet thickness plus the bend radius 1 5 t h.
The strength of riveted met.
Minimum 2 times material thickness between hole and edge of sheet.
Extruded holes very close to the part edge can lead to sheet metal deformation or tearing.
Supplying 3d models without considering these factors increases the.
In most cases minimum hole bend distance equals 1 5 times sheet thickness plus bend radius though the multiplying factor may increase as hole size increases in diameter.
