Infastech has introduced a new fastener range: Octolok® is the latest new product from Infastech’s iForm® brand.
The cross section shows the material flow after completed installation.
Octolok® studs and nuts are Grade strength fasteners designed to provide external or internal threads in the most demanding applications including light gauge sheet materials.
Octolok® fasteners improve quality & reliability, simplify production processes and reduce the cost of assembly. Octolok® fasteners can replace weld-studs and eliminate painting/plating costs.
Octolok® fasteners are placed into drilled or pre-punched holes of a specific diameter recommended for each size fastener. A press applied force drives the 8 lobe forming feature into the application material forcing the material to flow into the fastener retention groove delivering excellent torque-to-turn performance whilst the retaining ring provides superior push-out values. Octolok® fasteners can be placed manually one at a time or the assembly process can be automated.
Infastech® is one of the world’s largest producers of engineered mechanical fasteners with applications across diverse market sectors including electronics, aerospace, construction, automotive and industrial. The Infastech® portfolio includes the lead brands of Avdel®, Elco® and iForm®.
Infastech® has Operations, Sales, Distribution and Engineering capabilities in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, North America, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and throughout Europe with more than 2,000 employees serving customers in more than 150 countries. www.infastech.com
