Technology Range

Our standard technology range of products includes 7 products: Hurricane, Lightning, Storm, Thunder, Eagle, Phantom and Kleko360, which all provide single-sided temporary fastener solutions for aerospace applications from 2.2mm (5/64 inch) to 25.4mm (1" inch) via lengths of 0.4mm (1/64 inch) to 152.4mm (6 inches). Most of our product ranges are available in both fully-flush (countersunk), ultra-low profile (3.5mm (0.137 inch)) and protruding head and can be ordered directly from us or via our distribution network. All our products provide doweling and clamping to ensure correct placement, maximum hold and are rated for 500 cycles.

Our Lightning design is focused on high and low load, small to large hole size applications and uses an expanding leg design to enlarge on the blind side of a structure and pull back over the main body to provide clamping. As the legs move over a ground cylinder, our Lightning Kwikbolt keeps holes true and provides a high or low clamp and very high sheer performance

Our Hurricane design is focused on high load, larger hole size applications and uses an expanding petal design to enlarge on the blind side of a structure and pull back on itself to provide clamping. As the petal moves through a ground cylinder our Hurricane Kwikbolt keeps holes true and provides a high clamp and very high sheer performance.

Our Thunder design is focused on applications that require small blind side clearance and delivers high and low clamp load, small or large hole size application using a driven legged cylinder design to engage clamping, drive the legs into the head and pull back on itself to provide clamping. As the ground legged cylinder moves into the head, the Thunder keeps holes aligned

Our Storm design is focused on wet applications that require high or low clamp load for large or small hole size, using a clean and clamp process via an expanding leg design to enlarge on the blind side of a structure and pull back over the main body to provide clamping. As the legs move over a ground cylinder, our Storm Kwikbolt keeps holes true, clean and provides a high performance.

Aerospace Fastener Solutions

We also provide a bespoke temporary blind fastener service to businesses with more specific requirements. We will design, manufacture, test and supply bespoke products, which undergo a stringent trial and evaluation process to ensure that the design meets all of our customers’ business challenges with the minimum number of versions. Once approved, this bespoke aerospace fastener is produced in volume to provide the build line with our fastener technology solution.

Our bespoke service can be requested via email, info@kwikbolt.com , and one of our engineers will contact you to discuss your requirements and start the process.

The information we need is:

- Diameter of holes
- Hole tolerance
- Lengths of doweling required (min / max)
- Grip ranges (min / max)
- Clamp loads requirements
- Head configuration
- Materials being clamped / dowelled
- Estimated quantities needed
- Estimated delivery date

Your new design will be with you in 2 weeks for an engineering review.
