Structural fastening systems
Trying to find the place of HUCK® products in a palette of riveting systems we may can say that Huck begins where standard blind rivets end. Of course HUCK® is much more than that. HUCK® is a worldwide leader in fastening systems and a pioneer of LockBolt technology. Using his products compared to conventional riveting often reducing installation time by 25-50%. High clamp performance and durability compared to traditional threaded bolt joints can provide 10-20% longer fatigue life.
In addition, Huck has built a reputation for unmatched vibration resistance: it never loosens, even in the most demanding applications. Because of their holding power and vibration resistance it can be used in truck chassis, trailer bodies, off-road vehicles, rail cars, agricultural, landpower machines, steel structures and more general industrial application also.
The HUCK ® offers a very wide range of blind structural rivets and LockBolts between 4.8 and 39mm diameters of fasteners. Their lightweight pneumatic and hydraulic tools offer solutions for assembly procedure.
HUCK LockBolts:
LockBolt system generally contains two main parts: a grooved pin and a collar. During the installation process, setting tool pulls the pin and pushes the collar at the same time which clamps joined materials together between them. The conical shape cavity of tool cold-forms the collar onto the pin grooves resulting high and stable clamping force. Excepting Bobtail, the pin-tail breaks-off at the end of installation.

HUCK structural blind fasteners:
Installation method is the same as in case of standard blind rivets. Setting tool simply pulls the mandrel and mandrel’s head deforms the rivet body at the blind side causing the clamp force and creating a footprint. Finally the protruding side of the mandrel breaks off while remaining side in the rivet body results better strength for fastener.
