What is a lock bolt ? • No threads but lock grooves • No nut but collar • No torque but clamp • No friction but direct tension
Form Pin Collar Break Groove Pull Grooves Lock Grooves
How Bolts Work The idea is clamp The method is torque There’s the problem! Torque doesn’t determine clamp Distance does The distance the bolt is stretched!
How Bolts Work Torquing s - t - r - e - t - c - h - e - s the bolt The bolt acts like a spring The spring holds clamp in the joint Clamp should exceed service loads of the fastener
How Bolts Work An uphill battle! Threads are inclined planes Wrapped around a cylinder Twisting or ‘torquing’ pushes nut thread ‘up’ bolt thread
Installation Sequence For 1/2" through 1-3/8" diameter lock bolts, the installation tool is powered by hydraulics. Low voltage electricity from the installation tool is used to actuate hydraulic valves for pull (swage) and return (eject) cycles. An installation sequence is shown in Figure 2. Installation tools are shown in Figure 3. Figure 2
