High temperature fastener has self-locking patch
US fastener specialist SPS Technologies is offering a range of aerospace fasteners featuring a high-temperature, non-metallic locking element.
Nytemp self-locking fasteners break through the 250ºF maximum temperature associated with traditional self-locking materials and allow multiple cycle reuse capabilities in areas not previously possible.
The self-locking patch can be applied to various SPS nuts, screws, bolts, studs and special fasteners. And because they can maintain torque and clamp load stability in temperatures up to 450ºF, Nytemp self-locking nuts and bolts are ideal for assembly applications in aerospace, as well as use in automotive, appliances, small engines and other areas where heat of this magnitude is encountered.
The Nytemp system can work out less costly than some other self-locking parts because they do not require any drilling or milling and are not affected by water, anti-freeze, petrol, motor oil, diesel oil, various kerosene-based materials, hydraulic fluids or similar materials.
