Dependable Fasteners for Demanding Applications
The A-K Series Insert features a knurled body and a reduced profile head to allow for virtually flush installation. Countersink drilling or dimpling of the parent material can be eliminated. The A-K Series is designed to be used with Grade 5 or Metric Class 8.8/9.8 mating screws.
The A-K Series Insert can be installed using AVK’s ARO brand pneumatic tools or AVK’s SPP™ pneumatic/hydraulic tools. These tools can be located at any position on your assembly line. The A-K Series Insert can be installed either before or after finish.
VIRTUALLY FLUSH INSTALLATIONS are achieved without special hole preparation due to the A-K Series minimal head profile.
EXCEPTIONAL TORQUE STRENGTH is achieved as the insert’s knurled body expands FILLING THE HOLE.
QUALITY INSTALLATIONS even in variable thickness materials are assured by AVK’s spin/spin ARO pneumatic tools and our SPP™ pneumatic/hydraulic tools.
SUPERIOR THREAD STRENGTH is provided due to our internal rolled thread manufacturing process.
THREADS GAUGE before and after installation due to the increased cross-sectional thickness of the thread area. Thread dilation is prevented.
INVENTORY REDUCTION is possible because of the A-K Series’ wide grip range capacity. It is 2.5 times greater than conventional rivet nuts.
SUPERIOR CORROSION RESISTANCE is provided by our standard zinc/yellow dichromate finish (96 hrs. salt spray to white corrosion). For exceptional corrosion protection we offer a tin/zinc alloy finish.
AVAILABLE in steel from stock. Additional materials such as aluminum, brass and monel are available by special order. Contact AVK for details.
