Fasteners - Lockbolts Maxlok®
The Maxlok® lockbolt is a two piece assembly consisting of a bolt and collar. Although they are in the blind fastener family, they are not blind fasteners as access is required from both sides of the workpiece to install the bolts and collars. They provide higher shear strength, tensile strength, clamp load and vibration resistance than any other product in the Avdel® blind fastener family. Material options include aluminum and steel in sizes of 3/16" or 1/4". The Maxlok® lockbolt fastening system relies on proper installation of the collar onto the bolt for maximum joint performance. The collar is pressed onto the bolt and material from the collar flows into the grooves of the bolt creating a virtually tamper proof joint. Additionally, as the application draws closer together, a flange is formed at the base of the collar next to the rear application sheet. This creates a load bearing surface, which absorbs the force of setting the fastener. Otherwise the setting force, or clamp load, might spread into the application and damage the material. The Maxlok® lockbolt does not contain a break notch so it is a multi-grip fastener. Multi-grip means the bolt can accomodate materials or application components with widely varying thicknesses. This allows one bolt to do the job of two or more single grip range fasteners, thus reducing inventory, assembly time and cost.
