Expandable Diameter Fasteners

Fastener Dimension, INC. is proud to announce that we are now stocking Shur-Lok brand Expandable Diameter Fasteners. These fasteners all all unique to your individual applications. Each fastener is custom-engineered to expand in a hole to prevent fretting (corrosion or wearing away). These unique fasteners can eliminate the the extra expenses and need for close tolerance machining or press fits fasteners.
These fasteners are typically used in aircraft engine's and engine mounting, helicopter rotor heads and blade attachment, mounting of anti-friction bearings, or can be put in place to make a tighter joint. What makes all of this work? The real brain of the fastener is the expandable bushing stack of alternating tapered split bushings. When you compress the fastener and force is applied to the ends of the bushing stack, the diameter of the fastener simply increases. When the compression is released and the force is relaxed the bushings return to their original diameter. Once the pressure is released you can easily remove this fastener and reused at a later time. These fasteners have already been designed in a multitude of different types. These types include: bolts, blind bolts, shafts, and cam-operated pins
