SPREDLOC®

Product catalog summary
SPREDLOC® Overview
SPREDLOC® is a solution offered by Böllhoff for creating precision threads in lightweight structures made from materials like aluminium, magnesium, and polymers. It provides stable stud threads according to property class 8.8 and is designed for efficient expansion anchoring with one-sided accessibility, making it ideal for retrofitting.

Technology and Installation
The SPREDLOC® system consists of a pre-installed fastener with two elements. It is installed using a tool that spins the fastener into a preformed or drilled hole. The installation involves an axial pulling motion that expands the sleeve, anchoring it securely. This method is suitable for material thicknesses and dome heights from 6 mm.

Advantages
  • Efficient: Pre-installed, one-piece fastener with stable threads.
  • Component Cleanliness: No chips or burrs during installation.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of lightweight materials, except those susceptible to stress cracking like PC or PMMA.
  • Easy Processing: Utilizes a "blind" setting method with available RIVKLE® installation equipment.


Technical Data
SPREDLOC® studs come in various sizes with specific dimensions for sleeve diameter, length, and shank length. Recommendations for bore holes are provided for different materials.

Processing Systems
SPREDLOC® can be processed using RIVKLE® hydropneumatic and battery-powered setting tools, ensuring high process reliability and environmental friendliness.

Applications
The technology is applicable in various industries, including automotive and commercial vehicles, for structural components.

Value Proposition
Böllhoff offers a comprehensive 360° Joining Technology portfolio, emphasizing innovation, development, procurement, assembly, logistics, quality, and customer service. The company provides extensive support through consulting, training, and after-sales services.
