Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the BobTail® LockBolt system, highlighting its benefits, installation process, and technical specifications. It emphasizes the system's efficiency, durability, and ease of use.
Key Benefits:
  • No pin-tail or pin-break, reducing material wastage.
  • Low installation noise and increased corrosion resistance.
  • Fast installation time of 2 seconds, significantly faster than other large diameter LockBolts.
  • Consistent installation quality regardless of operator experience.
  • Smooth installation sequence, minimizing operator fatigue.
Installation Sequence:
  1. Pin is placed into a prepared hole, and the collar is spun onto the pin.
  2. The tool is applied to the annular pull grooves and activated, drawing the pin into the tool and pushing the collar against the joint to generate an initial clamp.
  3. The tool swages the collar, increasing the clamp.
  4. Swaging is completed, and the tool ejects the fastener, completing the installation.
Technical Specifications:
  • Available in small diameters (4.8mm to 9.5mm) and large diameters (25.4mm).
  • Unique helical lock groove for diameters 12-20mm, holding pin and collar in place before installation.
  • Permanent, mechanically locked fastener that does not require torque or re-torque.
  • Resistant to loosening under extreme vibration.
  • Easy visual inspection for correct installation.
Minimum Installed Values: The document provides a table with shear, tensile, and plated clamp values for various fastener models, indicating their strength and reliability.
Installed Fastener Dimensions: Detailed dimensions for different fastener models are provided, including nominal diameter, grip range, and maximum dimensions.
Tooling Information: Information on tooling options, including nose assembly and powerig hose set, is provided for different fastener diameters, highlighting the ease of use and lightweight nature of the tools.
Material and Coating:
  • Pin: 10.9 grade medium carbon alloy steel.
  • Collar: Low carbon steel.
  • Standard coating options include black oil finish and mechanical zinc plating with chromate.
