Reasons for using Swagefast products

Features and Benefits of Swage products

 
  • Vibration resistant
  • High shear strength
  • High tensile strength
  • Uniform clamping force
  • Fast and easy installation
  • Visual inspection
  • Lower installed fastener costs
  • Improved fabrication quality
  • Reduced rework and scrap charges
  • Minimal inspection costs
  • Lower installer training costs

How to get maximum performance with Swagebolt pins and collars:

  • Swagebolt pins and collars are lubricated to provide proper driving characteristics and should not be degreased.
  • Installation surfaces should be 90° to the Swagebolt pin axis for normal conditions and spot face for other conditions.
  • Collars may be driven on surfaces inclined to a maximum of 1 in 20 from the Swagebolt pin axis.
  • Collars may be driven on curved surfaces with a minimum radius of 3 times the Swagebolt pin diameter.
  • Collars should be removed from the application by splitting them axially with a collar splitter.
  • In the case of replacement – if the hole sizing is not worn or oversized, a Swagebolt pin of the same diameter must be used. If the hole sizing is worn or oversized, a larger diameter Swagebolt pin should be used.

Considerations for selecting your Swagefast™ Fastening System:

  • The material of the fastener or its coating should be compatible with the application’s material.
  • The fastener diameter is determined by the shear and tensile strength required.
  • The fastener length is determined by the total material thickness that requires fastening. Order by diameter required and the total material thickness that requires fastening.
  • It is recommended that a standard (CS) collar is used where the holes on the application do not exceed the maximum hole sizing specifications.
  • It is recommended that a flanged (CF) collar is used where the holes on the application are worn or sizing exceeds the maximum hole sizing specifications.
  • Fastener head styles are determined by clearance requirements.
