Item #: Omni-Lok
Pin-Type Self-Locking Fasteners
Temperature Range: Up to 1200°F; 649°C
Reusability: complies with IFI 124 and MIL-DTL-18240
The Omni-Lok™ process is a patented method to make bolts and nuts stay in place, regardless of the extent of vibration or temperature stress. Omni-Lok fasteners meet all specifications of MIL-DTL-18240, including those requiring as many as fifteen reuses.
Omni-Lok fasteners incorporate single or multiple pins, fully contained in holes located within the thread, and held parallel to the longitudinal axis. The pin is precisely located in such a manner that the outer diameter of the pin extends above the root diameter of external threads–and below the minor diameter of internal threads–at a controlled height. This provides the required torque, creating an effective wedge in the threaded assembly for frictional resistance to rotation, i.e. prevailing torque.
