Lightning Bolts were developed to replace threaded
fasteners in applications where quick installation
and removal times are required. They also offer
several other advantages such as no alignment or
threading issues since ZipNut®
collapsible thread technology
is utilized. Threaded segments are collapsed in the
installer's hand by simply squeezing the bolt in
your hand (double-action of pulling and pressing
against the palm of your hand). This will allow the
bolt to be installed or removed quickly. Once the
threaded segments are fully extended, they are
locked into place and the bolt can be tightened or
loosened as desired.
As shown in the video above, we developed an
aluminum Lightning Bolt for Westinghouse Steam
Generators primary manway shield doors, protection
plates, and remote tooling. The area where this
equipment is installed is considered a high
radiation area and the time saved using Lightning
Bolts equals personnel exposure savings.
We can manufacture virtually any size bolt out of
any material. If we don't have the size you are
looking for in stock, we can make them!
