How are hi-Lok Fasteners measured?
Hi-Lok® Grip Gauge with Slide. Slide the tip of this gauge through a hole, draw the gauge back until the hook hits the backside of the hole and you’ll be able to correctly determine the proper length of the Hi-Lok® fastener needed.
What is the difference between hi-Lok and hi lite?
HI-LITE™ pins are the direct evolution of HI-LOK™ pins. These fasteners can be used for clearance, or low interference fit throughout aircraft, from wings to fuselage, in engine fairings, and more. Combined with HI-LITE™ nuts and collars, they provide up to 13% weight saving compared to the previous HI-LOK™ generation.
What is a Hy Lok fastener?
HI-LOK is a simple two-part fastener engineered to achieve in one all-purpose system the design features suiting many of today’s aerospace assembly needs. Consistent torque on each fastener installed is achieved through the integrated functions of the system working together.
Is Hi-Lok a bolt?
The Hi-Lok™ fastener is versatile and can match the best qualities of a bolt/nut or pin swaged collar. Therefore, tooling is easily adaptable to large-scale production with high-speed equipment and automatic collar feed attachments.
What are hi loks made of?
The advantages of Hi-Lok® two-piece fastener include its light weight, high fatigue resistance, high strength, and its inability to be overtorqued. The pins, made from alloy steel, corrosion resistant steel, or titanium alloy, come in many standard and oversized shank diameters.
What is a jo bolt?
Jo-bolt. A patented, high-strength structural fastener used where strength requirements are high. The Jo-bolt is passed through a close-tolerance hole, and a sleeve is pulled up over its tapered shank to form a blind head inside the structure.
What are the advantages of hi Lok fasteners?
What are the three types of Lockbolts?
Tensile strength is the amount of longitudinal load a lockbolt can withstand before failure. There are three collar styles for lockbolts: standard, low profile, and flanged. Most suppliers specify shear strength and tensile strength with a standard or full collar.
What is HI Shear?
A high-shear mixer disperses, or transports, one phase or ingredient (liquid, solid, gas) into a main continuous phase (liquid), with which it would normally be immiscible.
What is HI shear rivets?
A pin fastening system, or high-shear pin rivet, is a two-piece fastener that consists of a threaded pin and a collar. The metal collar is swaged onto the grooved end, effecting a firm tight fit. They are essentially threadless bolts.
What is a Composi Lok?
An industry standard for blind fastening of composite joints Designed for use in composite laminates but equally well suited to metal structure, the Composi-Lok® family of fasteners provides superior joint integrity.
What is the disadvantage of Lockbolts over nuts and bolts?
The only drawback to lockbolt installations is that they are not easily removable compared to nuts and bolts. Figure 5-20. Lockbolt types.
