What type of fastener is a hi-Lok?
The Hi-Lok™ fastener is a simple two-part fastener that suits many of today’s aerospace assembly needs. The all-purpose fastener can create a consistent torque on each fastener installed through integrated functions.
What are hi-Lok fasteners used for?
HI-LOK pins are commonly used in applications that require high tensile strength in extreme environments. HI-LOKs pins and HI-LOK collars offer extremely precise dimensions making HI-LOK fasteners commonly used in space, military, and commercial aviation application.
What is a Hi-Lok pin?
The Hi-Lok fastening system consists of two parts, a threaded pin and a threaded collar. It combines the best features of a rivet and a bolt-nut system. We stock a wide range of both the pins and collars under the HL part numbers as well as under OEM drawings like Bombardier and Boeing. HL10. HL11.
How are hi Lok Fasteners measured?
The thicker side of the Grip Scales measure the grip-length of Hi-Lok® and Hi-Lite® pins, Shear Lockbolts, structural screws, and bolts. The thinner side measures the thickness of materials to be fastened.
What are hi loks made of?
The advantages of Hi-Lok® two-piece fastener include its light weight, high fatigue resistance, high strength, and its inability to be overtorqued. The pins, made from alloy steel, corrosion resistant steel, or titanium alloy, come in many standard and oversized shank diameters.
What is HI shear rivets?
hi-shear rivet. A patented, high-strength, pin-type fastener used in aircraft construction. Hi-Shear rivets are often used in place of bolts in strong, lightweight structure. The pin of a Hi-Shear rivet has a thin, flat head on one end and a groove around its shank at the other end.
What is HI Shear rivet?
What is a Hi Tigue fastener?
The HI-TIGUE™ fastener design features a subtle bead on the end of the shank. This dramatically increases the total fatigue life and overall performance of the fastened structure through controlled interference fit.
What is Taper Lok?
Taper-Loks are the strongest special fasteners used in aircraft construction. The Taper-Lok exerts a force on the walls of the hole because of its tapered shape. The Taper-Lok is designed to completely fill the hole, but unlike the rivet, it fills the hole without deforming the shank.

What is Hi Lok used for?
Hi-Lok Fasteners. Hi-Lok is a registered trademark of the Hi-Shear Corporation. Hi-Lok pins are commonly used in applications that require high tensile strength in extreme environments. Hi-Loks pins and Hi-Lok collars offer extremely precise dimensions making Hi-Lok fasteners commonly used in space, military, and commercial aviation application.
What tools do I need to install Hi Lok® fasteners?
These assemblies have the tools needed for the installations of Hi-Lok®, Hi-Lite®, and Hi-Shear® fasteners. These sets have a wrench, a socket and a hex key. The wrenches and sockets feature a through hole to allow a hex key to pass through and hold the Hi-Lok® fastener in place during installation.
What are the parts of a hi lok key set?
These sets have a wrench, a socket and a hex key. The wrenches and sockets feature a through hole to allow a hex key to pass through and hold the Hi-Lok® fastener in place during installation. Sockets are held to the square drive with a hex key operaetd screw, eliminationg FOD.
