Avibulb® XT
High strength steel breakstem fasteners with excellent bulbing tail formation ideal for thin sheet applications and use with softer materials.
Overview
The new Avdel Avibulb® XT is a high strength breakstem fastener with excellent bulbing tail formation, which makes it ideal for the use in thin sheet materials. Avibulb® XT structural fasteners feature a wide grip range, especially suited for applications with varying sheet thicknesses. They also have the advantage of good hole fill compensating for irregular, oversized or misaligned holes.
Key features and benefits
- High shear and tensile strength
- Multi-grip capability
- High residual clamp load
- Resists vibration and joint slippage
- Good blind side footprint and bulb formation
- Spreads the tail bearing load/clamp on the rear sheet
- Suitable also in softer materials (test report available)
- Reliable stem retention
- Under head recess accommodates burrs around holes and spreads the load evenly on the top sheet
