Aluform Bolts are made from a high-strength aluminum alloy and feature a dry lubricating film. Aluform Bolts weigh around 60% less than comparable steel bolts. Aluform Bolts offer functional and competitive advantages in lightweight construction; where every gram counts.
Aluminum adapts very well to components made of aluminum, magnesium and plastic. Aluform Bolts expand thermally with the components that they attach with, as the materials have almost identical coefficients of linear expansion. Compared to steel bolts, less plastic deformation occurs in the system, a possible consequence of which would be a loss of pretension. This prevents leaks/corrosion and prevents rattling and squeaking. Low creep contributes to a screw joint that is stable over the long term. Their good repeatability results from their corrosion resistance and the friction coefficient achieved by their dry coating. The combination of materials significantly increases operational reliability.
When it comes to mobility, every gram counts – in aerospace, cars, trucks, motorhomes, ambulances, and even bicycles. Depending on the application, material pairing and corrosion protection offer further advantages.
Excellent electrical conductivity makes Aluform Bolts ideal connection elements in the field of electromobility. Weight reduction can also play an important role here.
Lightweight construction is the trump card in robotics. Aluform Bolts help to reduce the weight of moving parts in cobots, robots, and handling systems, thus increasing load capacity.
Aluform Bolts have a positive effect when used in material-compatible screwed connections, but also in many other industrial applications – from conductivity in control cabinets to lightweight aluminum ladders or gripper arms used in industrial workstations.
The Aluform Bolt is identical in material to the common aluminum components used to mount photovoltaic systems and is therefore perfectly suited for the fastening of roof hooks, solar clamps, and other aluminum assemblies. Corrosion resistance even in coastal areas!
