SPOTLIGHT THE HUCK BOBTAIL ® LOCKBOLT ®
HuckBolts such as C6L ® and C50L ® have been on the market for many decades and are well known and used . The Huck BobTail ® is the next generation Lockbolt ; offering up to 10 times the fatigue strength of conventional nuts and bolts , BobTail delivers ultimate strength , installation speed , and vibration resistance . It has been designed to provide superior joining strength in even the most extreme environments .
After lengthy and vigorous testing , the Huck BobTail ® HuckBolt ® ( 12mm , 14mm , 16mm , 20mm and 1 ” diameter ) has been certified to be maintenance-free by
Engineered for high performance and reliability with a unique , pintail-less design , unmatched installation speed – often under 2 seconds . Benefits of installing BobTail include :
• Unique , low-swage technology allows lightweight , ergonomic tooling .
• No-break pintail means highest corrosion resistance in its class .
• High speed , easy to install systems reduce production time .
• Wide grip ranges minimise fastener inventory .
• Improves health and safety - replaces welded joints .
• Tamperproof – once installed cannot be removed without specialist tooling .
• Quick visual inspection assures quality joint .
• Fit up ability – helical lock-groves allows for pre-assembly / project alignment before the final swaging process .
• Installation indicator on collar for visual inspection to ensure correct installation – a red collar is also available that gives a clear visual installation that the collar has been fully swaged .
In addition , if necessary , the fastener can also be removed which is ideal for a project where maintenance is required . Users can simply change the nose assembly to a collar cutting nose assembly and quickly splice the collar in two .
