What are the three types of Lockbolts?

The pins of pull- and stump-type lockbolts are made of heat-treated alloy steel or high strength aluminum alloy. Companion collars are made of aluminum alloy or mild steel. The blind lockbolt consists of a heat-treated alloy steel pin, blind sleeve and filler sleeve, mild steel collar, and carbon steel washer.

What is HI shear rivets?

A pin fastening system, or high-shear pin rivet, is a two-piece fastener that consists of a threaded pin and a collar. The metal collar is swaged onto the grooved end, effecting a firm tight fit. They are essentially threadless bolts.

How LockBolt are installed?

Lockbolt installation is relatively simple. A pin is placed through the pre-drilled holes to join two pieces of material. The pin has a head chosen to suit the application, such as a rounded head, countersunk head, or extra wide head for softer material to prevent pull-through.

What is the disadvantage of Lockbolts over nuts and bolts?

The only drawback to lockbolt installations is that they are not easily removable compared to nuts and bolts.
