Lockbolts are two-piece fasteners – a hardened metal pin and collar. During installation, the pin is swaged into the grooves on the collar for consistent clamp force and high shear strength, making them excellent for high-vibration applications.
Structural blind rivets are made from two assembled components and can be installed with access to only one side of the joint. They provide excellent vibration resistance and a high degree of strength to ensure joint integrity.
Blind rivets simplify assembly, improve appearance, and reduce costs. Rapid installation with access to only one side makes them a reliable and efficient fastening solution for a range of applications.
Threaded inserts and studs are used to create durable threads in soft or thin materials, or for applications where disassembly for maintenance/servicing is required. Applifast stocks a variety of blind threaded inserts and studs in steel, stainless steel, and aluminium.
High-performance industries often call for tailored fastening solutions. From lightweight plastics to high-performance and specialty fasteners such as self-locking nuts, self-sealing fasteners, and speed fasteners, Applifast has the technology and the expertise to help you solve real-world manufacturing challenges.
