Fasteners For The Solar Industry

The general fasteners used in the solar energy marketplace are high strength break stem and lockbolt systems. Where spot welding is not practical our solutions are perfect! Also, unlike nuts and bolts this method is less costly, less time consuming and more feasible!

These fastening systems are designed for high strength, secure assembly. They’re quick and simple to place, durable and long lasting making them the ideal solution for solar energy applications!

Benefits our systems provide for the solar energy marketplace:

• High Speed assembly with robust and reliable tooling

Designed for use in demanding engineering environments, we can offer tools which have a history of reliability and robustness to provide accurate and secure installation within seconds!

• Elimination of torque issues

The fasteners are mechanically locked, eliminating possible over/under torquing which causes stripping or loose joints.

• Consistent high clamp

Elimination of loosening due to variations in temperature, no need for periodic tightening.

• Simple to install

No need for special operator skills.

• Tamper-proof joints

• Vibration resistant
