Nuts are available in a variety of configurations, material, sizes (Unified and Metric), and finishes. The configurations include Wrenchable, Bearing, K-Fast™, Anchor, Shank, Barrel, Clinch and Stake, Clip, Rivetless nutplate, Simfast, Metallic Gang Channel and MU2000™ Composite Plate/Gang Channel.
A variety of lock designs are available including crimped upper threads for all-metal nuts and the Nylstop® nylon insert. The Flat Beam™ locknut is also available for high reuse applications.
Fluid products are available in unified and metric sizes, and are manufactured from materials such as titanium, corrosion-resistant steel, low alloy steel, aluminum alloy, and Inconel®.
Ring Locked fluid boss adapters are designed with a captive lockring that secures the adapter to the boss and prevents loosening or backing-off under severe vibration, temperature cycling, or B-nut installation and removal. While considered semi-permanent, the adapters can quickly and easily be removed and replaced if necessary.
Standard fittings are used throughout the military and commercial aerospace markets. Straight and shaped fittings are available in a variety of configurations with both 37° flared and 24° flareless tube-ends.
Keenserts inserts and studs are designed to provide high resistance to torque-out and pull-out loads. Pre-assembled keys are driven down through the threads of the parent material to mechanically lock the fasteners into place.
The inserts are available with freerunning threads or with various types of locking devices including deformed threads, Vespel™ insert, and beam lock.
The studs provide a nut-end thread designed to transfer high axial loads into soft base materials. The stud or keyed end is installed into the parent material, thus eliminating the need for removing or replacing a bolt.
Slimsert inserts have a thin cross section, which is ideal for installation into applications requiring minimum boss configurations. This allows for reduced casting weight while adding strength. The upper end of the insert is swaged into the counterbore wall of the parent material and locks it into place.
The XPL lockbolt is the latest addition to the Alcoa Fastening Systems lockbolt familyWith a grip range that is more than twice that of other systems, each part number can be used in more than twice the applications.This means fewer part numbers to inventory.The wide selection of materials and diameters make the XPL lockbolt the most versatile lockbolt system ever.
