Hydraspeed R

Hydraspeed R

Product Introduction :

Hydraspeed-R is a blind Speed Fastening System having a threaded, removable speed fastener that combines the speed of rivet placement with the benefits of being able to remove and re-fasten. Using a Hydraspeed-R rivet removes the need for costly tapping or thread forming operation whilst creating a higher vibration resistant ‘thread lock’ compared to standard screws.

Key Features & Benefits :

• Circular expansion during installation to form a thread in host material
• Removable for servicing with a hex key and reusable
• Can be used to fasten most materials up to Vickers hardness 105 Hv5
• Eliminates the need for costly tapping or thread-forming operations
• Bright tin plated steel option for ease of soldering and increase electrical conductivity
• Placed using a unique repetition mandrel system for high speed assembly
• Can be bowl fed for larger volume applications using automated equipment
• Various lengths available providing high clamp loads
• Placed using a hexagon mandrel which expands the threaded diameter radially, Adjacent to its six corners.
• Providing a higher vibration resistant “thread lock” in the parent material Compared to standard screws

Assembly Materials :

Hydraspeed-R can be used to fasten:

• Depends on Hardness of base material.
