Looking for an attachment point that requires no drilling or hot work?
Available in a variety of metal, composite, and thermoplastic materials, our comprehensive line of studs and standoffs are ideal for any market. They provide the designer with new options for attachment of systems and modular components to a structure, without drilling or welding. By eliminating unnecessary holes in the structure, bonded fasteners preserve structural integrity, enhance design flexibility, and extend product longevity in new construction or retrofit applications.
Bonded fasteners allow for safe installation in locations where welding or drilling could be hazardous, such as fuel tanks. This can eliminate the need for gas freeing.
Adhesive-Bonded Studs
Studs permit clamped attachment of wire bundles and tubing to a structure, or securing of enclosures, racks, or other modular equipment.
Adhesive-Bonded Standoffs
Standoffs permit clamped attachment of wire bundles and tubing while providing separation from the structure.
Stop welding. Stop drilling. Start bonding.
By eliminating unnecessary holes in a structure, bonded fasteners preserve structural integrity, enhance design flexibility, and extend product longevity in new construction or retrofit applications. They make products lighter, faster, stronger!
What are the benefits of an adhesive-bonded fastening system?
1. Improve Cycle Time | Adhesive-bonded fastening solutions maximize design and work sequence flexibility while reducing assembly time.
2. Reduce Foreign Object Debris | Without the need for rivets, washers, and bolts, FOD risk is reduced.
3. Reduce Production Costs | Elimination of drilling and associated steps streamlines and derisks production processes and lowers total cost.
4. Simplify Installation & Maintenance | Our easy, three-step installation process can be performed in the factory, at sea, or even on the battlefield, facilitating production, retrofits, and repairs.
5. Prevent Corrosion | Our fastening solutions integrate an adhesive barrier between the substrate and the fastener, preventing galvanic corrosion.
6. Reduce Weight | Adhesive-bonded fasteners eliminate the need for rivet holes and localize reinforcement, ultimately reducing material and optimizing weight on the structure.
7. Avoids Errors & Rework | A major share of shop floor rework costs relates to misdrilled holes. This is eliminated with adhesive-bonded fasteners.
8. Preserve Structural Integrity | Adhesive bonding eliminates structural holes, removes stress concentrations, and prevents fatigue crack initiation.
