Whether it’s a spacecraft launch or a commercial aeroplane, aerospace industries require foolproof critical systems. The evolution of aerospace technology means challenges in safety, efficiency, and performance, and Click-Loc self-locking systems offer reliability and simplicity when fastening.  This blog will be your ultimate guide to Click-Loc systems and why they are essential for the aviation […]

If you are an engineer in the marine industry and often work with naval ships, ball lock pins have many safety applications you need to know about. Also called pip pins or safety pins, ball lock quick-release pins are used in place of nuts and bolts when frequent or quick assembly is required. This blog […]

You’ve probably heard of a cable tie mount before. It’s hard to break or cut, but it’s a great way to keep wiring organised. Grip Lock Ties, on the other hand, are dozens of times stronger and critical to heavy-duty applications in defence, aerospace, industrial, military, and many others. This blog will draw detailed comparisons […]

As an engineer in the aviation field, it is critical to consider how you’re routing aircraft cables. Electronic systems support the safety, reliability, and performance of aerospace vehicles. Aerospace-grade wiring specifically provides essential connectivity for instrumentation, power distribution, and communication. Modern aerospace electronic systems require high-performance wire and cable for commercial airliners and sophisticated satellites. […]

Safety and lock wires have been used in aerospace for decades; however, this method is time-consuming, so an alternative was made. The concept of Click-Loc was generated in response to a Pratt & Whitney U.S Air Force need for self-locking fluid fittings to replace the lock wire on the F119 engine. A year later, Moeller […]

You may have read NASA’s Guide to Aerodynamics, but what are the consumables that make these aircraft possible for both private and commercial aircraft owners? From rotatable parts to general aircraft parts, procurement, and logistics, there are various classifications of parts in aircraft maintenance cycles., In aviation maintenance, expendable aircraft parts are critical, making up […]

In the aviation industry, tooling is critical for various procedures, as well as regulatory compliance and the overall safety of engineers, pilots, and flight passengers. A single mistake can have detrimental consequences –such as the well publicised Boeing 737 incident–so engineers must use aircraft tools correctly and adhere to strict safety standards!  This article will […]

If you operate in the aerospace or military sector, strength and precision are something that can never be compromised; especially when it comes to the components of helicopters, military vehicles, and more. Today, we’re going to highlight the work of Avibank Manufacturing Inc., a PCC company that produces high-quality ball lock pins for a wide […]

If you really want to be well prepared for an aerospace project, you need to make use of the correct fasteners and tooling for high-accuracy applications such as aircraft structures and sheet metal. When a joint needs to be removable–and Hi-Lok fasteners just don’t cut it–a nut plate is used. These self-locking, self-wrenching nuts are […]
