How to use Hi Lok gauge?
A convenient tool to determine the correct length and diameter Hi-Lok to use . Just hook it through the hole and take the reading directly from the scale. Graduated in inches on one side, and millimeters on the other.
How are hi loks lengths measured?
Hi-Lok® Grip Gauge with Slide. Slide the tip of this gauge through a hole, draw the gauge back until the hook hits the backside of the hole and you’ll be able to correctly determine the proper length of the Hi-Lok® fastener needed.
What are hi Lok fasteners?
Hi-Lok™ Fastening System The Hi-Lok™ fastener is a simple two-part fastener that suits many of today’s aerospace assembly needs. The all-purpose fastener can create a consistent torque on each fastener installed through integrated functions.
What is protrusion gauge?
Pin Protrusion Gauges from Omega Technologies are manufactured for use on all types of frangible and torque-control fasteners.,These gauges determine if the correct length pin has been installed by determining if the pins projection is between allowable minimum and maximum ranges shown on the gauge.
What is the difference between Hi Lite and hi Lok?
HI-LITE™ pins are the direct evolution of HI-LOK™ pins. These fasteners can be used for clearance, or low interference fit throughout aircraft, from wings to fuselage, in engine fairings, and more. Combined with HI-LITE™ nuts and collars, they provide up to 13% weight saving compared to the previous HI-LOK™ generation.
What is HI Tigue?
The HI-TIGUE™ fastening system is a combination of proven performance features. This fastener has all the features of a Hi-Lok™ fastener and provides a unique HI-TIGUE™ fastener bead design.
What is protrusion height?
The protrusion heights are measured by placing a flat head screw in the appropriate gaging hole and positioning it under the indicator foot for measurement after having “Zeroed” the indicator on the gaging plate surface. The foot is raised.
What is an Eddie bolt?
The Eddie-Bolt® 2 is a high-performance aerospace fastening system. The Eddie-PinTM is designed with five flutes in the upper portion of the threaded area which allow a positive mechanical lock to be made during installation with the free-running Eddie-NutTM.
What is HI shear rivets?
A pin fastening system, or high-shear pin rivet, is a two-piece fastener that consists of a threaded pin and a collar. The metal collar is swaged onto the grooved end, effecting a firm tight fit. They are essentially threadless bolts.
What are hi loks made of?
The advantages of Hi-Lok® two-piece fastener include its light weight, high fatigue resistance, high strength, and its inability to be overtorqued. The pins, made from alloy steel, corrosion resistant steel, or titanium alloy, come in many standard and oversized shank diameters.
What is liner projection?
Liner protrusion is the measurement the cylinder liner extends above the surface of the engine block. It is supposed to stick above the surface of the block and act essentially as a cushion on the cylinder head gasket.
What is a Lockbolt?
A LockBolt is a two-piece fastener that consists of a hardened metal pin and a metal collar that swages into the grooves of the pin, forming a specific, measured clamp force to hold assembled parts together.

What is liner height?
What size hole does a shear gauge fit in?
A 0.15” tip easily fits into 5/32” holes. ( Hi-Shear® gauge .174” tip will not.) Front side (RED) provides 1/16” graduations, and the reverse side (BLACK) offers measurement graduations in millimeters.
What is the replacement for Hi Shear® 2-612?
Standard Hi-Lok®, Hi-Lite® Grip Scale from Omega Technologies, red and black, replaces Hi-Shear® 2-612. Made of full-hard stainless steel.
What are Hihi shear air driver assemblies?
Hi-Shear Air Driver Assemblies are designed specifically for installing Hi-Lite, Hi-Lok and Hi-Lok/Hi-Tigue Pin and Collar fastener combinations. The tools come in a variety of sizes and configurations, to drive fasteners in both open and restricted-access areas. The tooling is compact, lightweight, fast and reliable.
What is Hi Lok protrusion gauge?
Hi-Lok Protrusion Gauge features Measures Minimum and Maximum Pin Protrusion These Hi-Lok® grip scales feature two rulers for measuring grip length. These rulers can measure grip length of Hi-Lok® fasteners with a countersink, or with a protruding head.
