Lockbolts and their associated bushings are so-called structural fasteners. They are widely used in the aeronautics industry where high mechanical demands are involved. Lockbolts consist of 2 parts: a shank and a ring. The shank comprises a head, a cylindrical part and a grooved area. Using a special tool, the ring is crimped into the grooves of the shank. The crimping of the rings onto the lockbolt shafts is undetachable.
Made of aluminum alloy (2017, 2117, 2024, 7050, etc.) or titanium (TA6V), these fasteners comply with OEM standards.
