HI-LOK Fasteners
HI-LOK is a registered trademark of the Hi-Shear Corporation. The most current version of the drawings below can be found at https://www.lisi-aerospace.com/en/. 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. HI-LOK pins and HI-LOK collars are both threaded and require common installation tools making HI-LOK Fasteners easy to install and remove.
HI-LOK is a simple two-part fastener engineered to achieve in one all-purpose system the design features suiting many of today’s aerospace assembly needs. Consistent torque on each fastener installed is achieved through the integrated functions of the system working together. A carefully regulated breakoff groove in the self-locking HI-LOK collar provides uniform preload values by separating when the correct torque level is reached. This controlled preload of each HI-LOKTM in the structure improves the fatigue life of the airframe significantly when compared to other fastening systems, including swaged collar type.
The HI-LOKTM torqued the collar’s automatic breakoff design assures this and eliminates the need for torque inspection. As a highly efficient and dependable system.
As a versatile fastener, HI-LOKTM design does more with less, solving weighty problems and delivering high fatigue resistance without sacrificing strength. The lightweight HI-LOKTM collar further contributes to weight-saving when compared to conventional nut and bolt systems of equal strength characteristics. Manufactured in a wide range of sizes and material combinations, in terms of versatility the HI-LOKTM system offers engineering designers a ready solution to a variety of assembly problems.
