If you work in aerospace manufacturing, you’ll already know it is a highly regulated industry that relies on precision when it comes to fasteners and tooling. In these environments, even the smallest details will make a huge difference. From the aerodynamic shape of a fuselage to the placement of each fastener, every piece of an […]

Aerospace, defence, and military operations are high-stakes industries where quality and precision are non-negotiable. Also often called positive-locking pins or quick-release pins, Ball-Lok and Kwik-Lok pins are critical components for a range of aerospace assemblies, ground support systems, and aircraft maintenance applications. These pins support fast, secure, and repeatable fastening of components for high-load or […]

A race car is not built the same as your average production car. Motorsport fasteners make it possible for them to handle extreme conditions such as high speeds, intense vibrations, elevated temperatures, and fluctuating loads, so every component needs to meet incredibly high standards of strength. The wrong fastener can lead to failures such as […]

According to this article by Science Direct, the geometry of bee honeycombs has inspired technical designs in various fields, from architecture to transport and mechanical engineering, and a honeycomb sandwich structure has continued to be used in the defence sector. In the military, materials need to be almost indestructible, and honeycomb inserts offer superior strength, […]

Bonded fasteners are incredibly important to the Marine sector. However, like any component, they need to be installed and fitted correctly. In order to deal with unique factors like salt water, wave height and fluctuating temperatures, it’s essential to use the correct fasteners, as well as the proper bonding and adhesion techniques. Throughout this blog, […]

With digital appliances and radio communication systems being a cause for concern in many industries–especially the aviation sector–EMI disrupts verbal exchange systems, navigation gadgets, and flight controls. Modern aircraft structures depend on these pieces all working together, and without proper shielding, EMI/RFI is incredibly dangerous.  Electromagnetic interference can harm electronics on the ground and avionic […]

Do you need to secure the structural elements of an aircraft? In aerospace manufacturing, it’s the smallest (yet mighty) of components that play a critical role in the integrity and reliability of the final product. Precision in nutplate tooling and installation is indispensable to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance with stringent aerospace standards.  In this […]

In aerospace, fasteners and tooling need to tolerate incredibly high temperatures and perform without fail. Countersink holes are used in metalworking, woodworking, and manufacturing industries and are critical to aircraft manufacturing and maintenance. Without them, aircraft can fall apart. Aerospace countersinks ensure that aviation components are safe, reliable, and perform the way they should when […]

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 […]
