Fasteners #4972944

This threaded, self-locking (per NASM25027) fastener is made from polyamide-imide (Torlon), and offers significant weight savings over our very popular TYE2001 (NAS1836) steel or cres fastener. A TYE4001 fastener designed for a 0.375" (9.53 mm) panel is approximately 73% lighter than an equivalent TYE2001 steel or cres fastener. Even with such significant weight savings, tensile loads in excess of 700 lbs (3100 N) have been achieved.

These fasteners are the non-metallic equivalents of our TYE2003TYE2004 Series (NAS1834) through-hole and countersunk through-hole fasteners. They are available in either polyamide-imide (Torlon) or polyetherimide (Ultem), and in a variety of standard lengths and clearance hole combinations. For a " (12.7 mm) long fastener, weight savings of 65-80% can be experienced over their equivalent aluminum and steel cousins.

These floating nut fasteners combines the best of both worlds: a lightweight, corrosion-resistant polyetherimide (Ultem) housing with an all-metal self-locking nut element. Modeled after our extremely popular TYE2018, TYE2024 and TYE2334 Series, these fasteners are finding quick acceptance throughout the aircraft interior marketplace. A TYE4334 fastener used in a " (12.7 mm) panel is approximately 50% lighter than its TYE2334 steel or cres housing counterpart, and about 40% lighter than the aluminum housing variant. Tensile and shear values for the TYE4334 fasteners are similar to their TYE2334 all-metal counterparts.

These through-threaded, dual-self-locking (per NASM25027) fasteners are made from polyamide-imide (Torlon), and offer a significant weight savings over our equivalent TYE20682168 steel or cres fasteners. For a " (12.7 mm) fastener, a weight savings of approximately 73% can be experienced.

This corrosion-resistant, plug and sleeve fastener is made from a high-strength engineering polymer (polyamide-imide; Torlon), and is designed as a replacement for aluminum floor panel fasteners. They are particularly well suited in applications where galvanic corrosion may be encountered, and work extremely well with graphite panels. Testing in carbon fiber faced panels yielded shear strength values of approximately 1400 pounds (6200 N). These parts are currently being utilized in various aircraft types and are being evaluated by additional OEMs and end users. Considering that such fasteners are lighter than aluminum and are FAA TSO C148 approved, they will likely find many applications.

This lightweight, bonded-in, one-piece, polyetherimide (Ultem) fastener is a perfect solution for lightweight and moderate-strength countersunk clearance hole attachments.

With continuous emphasis on weight reduction, designers are utilizing thin and lightweight honeycomb panels in greater numbers. Therefore, we developed this floating nut fastener for use in 0.250" (6.4 mm) thick panels as a compliment to our full line of floating nut fasteners.
