POP Avdel’s NeoBolt® Lockbolt Fastener System Delivers Vibration Resistance, Structural Strength & Eliminates Metal Waste

Traditional lockbolt fasteners are designed for high-strength, secure assembly. Quick and simple to place, durable and long lasting, they are the ideal solution where spot welding is not practical and other methods are costly, time consuming or not possible.

 

Unlike traditional lockbolt fasteners, with the NeoBolt® there is no pin break so there is no metal waste, making this an eco-friendly solution.  Safety & efficiency is increased with reduced noise, no installation shock, no risk of pintails falling into the application or work area, and no corrosion at a pin break surface. Your cost efficiency is improved as your tools will last longer with no shock loads, whilst productivity is increased as operator fatigue is reduced.

 

In addition to the elimination of metal waste, the reduced pin weight and size versus normal lockbolts offers environmental benefits of using fewer raw materials and less energy throughout manufacturing, shipping, and storage.

 

Available in a variety of fastener diameters and lengths, NeoBolt® lockbolts offer increased versatility and can be placed with a range of installation tools featuring fastener-specific nose assemblies.

Following the launch of this innovative lockbolt system, within their end of year review, Stanley described the benefits of the NeoBolt® as, “The added advantages extend to the application tools where no shock load results in extended tool life and reduced operator fatigue. In addition, the NeoBolt® Lockbolt Fastener System offers the environmental benefit of using less raw materials and less energy throughout manufacturing, shipping and storage.”
