What are hi-Lok fasteners used for?
What are hi-Lok fasteners used for?
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.
Who makes hi-Lok fasteners?
the Hi-Shear Corporation
HI-LOK is a registered trademark of the Hi-Shear Corporation.
What is a Hi Tigue fastener?
The Hi-Tigue® fastener offers all of the benefits of the Hi- Lok® fastening system along with a unique bead design that enhances the fatigue performance of the structure making it ideal for situations that require a controlled interference fit. The Hi-Tigue® fastener assembly consists of a pin and collar.
What is a Hi-Lok collar?
The Hi-Lok fastening system consists of two parts, a threaded pin and a threaded collar. It combines the best features of a rivet and a bolt-nut system. We stock a wide range of both the pins and collars under the HL part numbers as well as under OEM drawings like Bombardier and Boeing.
How do I get rid of special fasteners?
Apply shock to help loosen the fastener by striking a screwdriver inserted into it or directly to the fastener itself. Do not apply so much force as to damage or snap off the fastener head. Consider tapping on the side, head or stem of the fastener with a center punch.
What is a high lock?
High security locks are designed to provide a greater level of protection against the primary methods of attack that are employed by criminals, saboteurs, and spies – both outside of a protected area and from within by employees, service personnel, or those who may have or gain access to one or more locks.
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 are special fasteners?
Special fasteners are a bolt used under industrial circumstances to hold pieces heavy weight industrial components together under extreme pressure. These screws are made out of materials highly resistant to corrosion. This is necessary because of the type of equipment they are expected to hold together.
What tool can be used to remove a broken bolt?
Screw Extractors work simply; drill a pilot hole or indention into the hardware and push the extractors into the hole. This allows you to turn the extractor and the edges will dig into the pilot hole and turn the bolt out.
Can I drive in 4WD lock?
That means “4WD Lock” is the only high range 4WD option you have. When you use it it is basically full time 4WD with both axles locked in. You can drive on slippery roads at highway speeds in this mode but you should avoid driving on dry roads.
What are the names of the Hi Lok fasteners?
HI-LOK, HL and HLR are trademarks of HI SHEAR Corporation. ASTER is a trademark of Blanc Aero Industries. STARLITE is a trademark of LISI AEROSPACE. HL™ pins configurator. Any additionnal inquiries?
How are Hi lock and lock bolts interchangeable?
In general hi-loks are interchangeable with lock-bolts, both are pin fasteners. Lock-bolts have swaged on collars with large specialist tooling, hi-loks use threaded nuts that shear off at a pre-determined torque.
What kind of pins are used for Hi Lok?
This feature is also available for HI-LOK™ pin users, with our HLR™ pins. The HI-LOK™ pins are the original solution for strong and reliable assemblies. Having a wide range of shapes, materials and coatings, they are suited for most of structural assemblies.
Which is the best interference fit fastening system?
The HI-TIGUE™ system has been the first practical interference fit fastening system to be developed. It provides improved fatigue benefits by combining the hole-improvement qualities of the HI-TIGUE™ pin and the consistent preloading qualities of the HI-LOK™ collar.
