A device for riveting and a hydropneumatic device for pressure transmission, including a working piston and a transmitter piston in the form of a double-acting cylinder for transmitting pressure to the working piston, wherein a working stroke of the working piston in a working direction includes a first stroke and a subsequent second stroke, wherein the first stroke is controlled by means of pneumatic pressure acting on the working piston and the second stroke is controlled by means of pneumatic pressure acting on the transmitter piston, and wherein hydraulic fluid is displaced by the transmitter piston and the displaced hydraulic fluid effects the second stroke of the working piston. Regulation means having an actuating device are provided for regulating the pneumatic pressure on both sides of the double-acting cylinder of the transmitter piston such that the second stroke of the working piston is predefined by way of the regulation.
