Skybolt announces the latest edition of the ‘Skybolt Catalog’ while celebrating our 35th year of innovation, manufacturing, and distribution of aerospace fasteners. This edition brings together our extensive manufactured line of ¼-Turn Panel Fasteners along with the traditional AN-MS-NAS fastener hardware. This combination is a wealth of technical information surrounding fastening hardware, particularly the world of ¼-Turn Panel Fasteners that are interchangeable (FAA TSO-C148) with Camloc®, Dzus®, Airloc®, and Southco® fasteners. Like our previous editions of the Skybolt Catalog, this may be one of the best tools in every tool box!
Skybolt has served the Aerospace and Automotive Racing industries since 1982 through distribution and manufacturing of high quality, traceable aerospace fasteners. We specialize in ¼-Turn Panel and Cowling fasteners, specifically in 303 stainless and our unique lightweight, high strength Skytanium® materials.
In 1993, Skybolt developed high tech manufacturing processes to produce innovative ¼-turn fasteners. Developments in the aerospace and racing markets presented opportunities to design higher quality, higher strength lightweight fasteners. Skybolt achieved three US Patents on adjustable designs that allow one fastener length to adjust to any panel thickness. We quickly introduced these designs into the FAA approval process for use on certified aircraft. We have gone on to add additional patent applications for adjustable CLoc® Fasteners.
We identified every weak point in every fastener design and capitalized on better designs. Skybolt became the leading source for all variations of cowling fasteners common to commercial aircraft. To further develop our “kit” concept, and to create better controls on quality, we began manufacturing industry standard cowling fasteners in-house. Skybolt could now enhance quality, strength, and luster finish. We were free to innovate and innovate we did. The new Skytanium® alloys, developed by Skybolt, decreased weight by 40% to 50% while maintaining MIL-F-5591C and NASM5591 strength!
The Skytanium® ¼-Turn fastener and derivatives can eliminate serious weight from helicopters, UAVs, existing commercial airliners, and be the perfect answer to the Boeing 787 and Airbus 380 programs.
