FLEXCO Alligator Rivet Application Gauge Operating instructions

  • I have reviewed the instructions for the Alligator Rivet Dimension Gauge. This document provides a guide to using the gauge for proper installation of Alligator Rivet fasteners, including verifying skive height, fastener clinch, and rivet curl. It details the process for measuring splice height for both standard and low-profile fasteners. I am ready to answer any questions you may have about this device and its usage.
  • What is the purpose of the Alligator Rivet Dimension Gauge?
    How do I verify the proper skive height?
    How do I measure the finished splice height?

Alligator® Rivet fasteners require proper skived
belt thickness, fastener clinch, and rivet curl. e
enclosed Alligator Rivet Dimension Gauge is
provided to ensure proper installation.
1. Using the Flexco Baler Belt Skiver, Rough
Top Skiver, or Alligator® Belt Grinder,
remove impression cover of belt.
2. Verify proper skive height has been achieved: Insert skived belt end into top two slots on the gauge. Belt end should t within
the ‘Max ickness’ slot, yet be either snug or not t in the ‘Min ickness’ slot.
3. Install fasteners into skived belt end.
Correct: Standard Profile fastener
4. Measure nished splice height to ensure fastener has been properly installed. Based on the fastener you installed (standard
prole or low prole), insert installed splice into the appropriate slot. e gauge should slide over each plate in the fastener strip.
If the gauge does not slide easily over, reinsert in tool and install further.
Correct: Low Profile fastener
