The HI-TIGUE™ fastening system is a combination of proven performance features. This fastener has all the features of a Hi-Lok™ fastener and provides a unique HI-TIGUE™ fastener bead design.
What is a Hi Lok bolt?
The Hi-Lok™ fastener is a simple two-part fastener that suits many of today’s aerospace assembly needs. The all-purpose fastener can create a consistent torque on each fastener installed through integrated functions.
Why are special fasteners used over solid shank rivets?
Although the shear loads of riveted joints are very good, the tension, or clamp-up, loads are less than ideal. Special purpose fasteners are sometimes lighter than solid shank rivets, yet strong enough for their intended use. Typically, the locking characteristics of a blind rivet are not as good as a driven rivet.
What are the advantages of hi Lok fasteners?
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.
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.
How do you remove a Lockbolt?
The best way to remove a lockbolt is to remove the collar and drive out the pin. The collar can be removed with a special collar cutter attached to a drill motor that mills off the collar without damaging the skin. If this is not possible, a collar splitter or small chisel can be used.
