Choosing a CLoc® Fastener
Selecting the ideal CLoc fastener for your application is crucial to ensure optimal performance and security. At Skybolt, we offer a wide range of CLoc fasteners designed to meet diverse aerospace needs. To assist you in making the best choice, consider the following factors:
Application Type: Identify the specific application where the CLoc fastener will be used. Whether it’s on a general aviation aircraft, a commercial jet, or a defense & aerospace land vehicle, matching the fastener to the application is essential for optimal results.
Material and Finish: Evaluate the environmental conditions and stresses the fastener will encounter. Choose from our variety of materials and finishes, such as stainless steel or cadmium plating, to ensure corrosion resistance and durability.
Load Capacity: Determine the load requirements of your application. Select a CLoc fastener with the appropriate load capacity to ensure the safety and integrity of your assembly.
Installation Method: Consider the ease of installation and maintenance. Some CLoc fasteners may require specific installation tools or techniques, while others offer quick and simple installation for efficiency.
Compatibility: Ensure the chosen CLoc fastener is compatible with the panel or component you are securing. Our fasteners are designed to work seamlessly with various panel types, including Camloc, Dzus, and Airloc compatible fasteners.
Is the application semi-structural with some mass to consider?
Consider the CLoc. 4000 or 6000 Series (if lip or panel overlap greater than 1.00)
Is available lip or panel overlap restrictive? (width required to mount receptacle)
- .355 to .500 – Consider the CLoc. 2500 Series
- .500 to .710 – Consider the CLoc. 26000/2700/2800 Series
- .710* or more – Consider the CLoc. 4000 Series (.860* for SK244/245 Rec)
*See diagram on Page 2 or Page 20 for panel configuration/restrictions.
Is weight a factor?
Consider the Skytanium. CLoc. ZG Series for 30% to 50% Weight savings (without sacrificing steel strength ratings)
