Model: CA-1011 p.12
Envelope model, not manufacturer CAD.Model details
CR3243-6-01, manufacturer nominal. Simplified component model from Cherry CA-1011 p.12 printed dimensions. Manufacturer nominal: printed values, the mean where only two limits are printed. Flush heads hold the printed head angle; the head depth is derived. Not manufacturer CAD. Verify against the current catalog before use. One named solid per component, as Cherry names them (CherryMAX: SLEEVE, STEM, LOCKING COLLAR, DRIVING ANVIL; CherryLOCK: SLEEVE, STEM, LOCK RING). Cherry dimensions only the sleeve and the stem's envelope (Z, K, not to exceed D): the stem's detail, the sleeve's bore and head recess, the collar and the anvil are scaled from Cherry's own figures and listed as scaled in the STEP header. The STEP file is an assembly: each component is its own named part with its own colour. STL comes as the whole part or one component at a time. Axis +Z, head up, z = 0 at the face the head bears on. STEP (AP214) is in inches; STL has no units and is written in millimetres.

“The CherryMAX® Rivet is inserted into the prepared hole. The pulling head (installation tool) is slipped over the rivet’s stem. Applying a firm, steady pressure, which seats the rivet head, the installation tool is then actuated.”
