LGP® Lockbolts

PROCESS MANUAL

12

The purpose of this manual is to provide general guidelines regarding the use of the LGP® Lockbolt fastening system. In the event of conflict between this manual and the user’s company policies, the user should refer to his/her own company’s policies.

• Drill sizes should be chosen to generate holes within the diame-ter ranges shown on drawings, installation specs or standards.

• Lockbolts are installed in a variety of hole diameters. Typically interference of .001” to .003” is used for Aluminum structure, slight clearance for Composite or Titanium structure.

Suggestions for hole preparation and installation practice: Clean round holes within tolerance and with minimal burrs are

fundamental for good joint durability. Below are a few sugges-tions which should help to achieve good installations:

• Clamping of the structure with temporary devices is very helpful in avoiding sheet separation, burrs/chips between the sheets and hole misalignment.

• Drills should be sharp. Optimized drill point geometry has sur-prising benefits for hole quality, productivity and minimizing operator fatigue.

• Drill speeds are critical to achieve hole quality and productivity, while minimizing operator fatigue.

• Aluminum structure 4,000 to 6,000 RPM are recommended. • For stainless or titanium 300 to 1,000 RPM are recom-

mended. • For Composite structure, carbide drills and c’sink cutters are

recommended. • Lubrication of drills is very helpful in reducing drill wear, burrs

and effort. Each shop has its favorite drill lubes. • Excessive “push” on the drill motor (dull drill) can create sheet

separation, burrs and chips between the sheets and should be avoided.

• Hole normality is important. Angularity beyond 2° should be avoided.

• Countersink concentricity is critical. Generally, countersinks are normal to the structural surface. Angularity problems are caused by hole angularity beyond the 2° limit. Undersize coun-tersink pilots are the most common cause of eccentricity prob-lems and resulting cosmetics issues.

Recommendations for Hole Preparation

13

• A fillet relief radius is generally not required to provide head seating in Aluminum structure. The pull-in force generated during swaging typically seats flush or protruding heads prop-erly.

• “Straightening-out” misaligned holes with a drill or reamer can cause “figure 8” holes and must be done with great caution.

• The trigger must be depressed until pin break indicates comple-tion of the installation swage cycle.

• Worn and dirty installation tools can cause bad installations. Of particular importance are gripping jaws. Worn and dirty jaws may cause stripping of pull grooves and pin fracture in the pull groove area.

Recommendations for Hole Preparation

14

• Correct collar lubrication is essential to the proper installa-tion of Lockbolt fasteners. The swaging action that takes place during installation can only properly occur with cor-rectly lubricated collars, and using a nose assembly having swaging anvil that is in good condition. The best practice is to order collars, which have been heat sealed in polyethyl-ene bags, and to store them unopened away from heat. Heating the collars to a temperature in excess of 100°F may melt off the lubrication. The bags are capable of protecting the collar lubrication for at least several years under proper storage conditions. The bags should only be opened when the collars are about to be installed. Collars not protected by bagging and left exposed to heat, oil, oil mists, dust, or dirt may not swage properly.

• The collar lubricant generally applied to collars is "cetyl alcohol" which may appear as a whitish film or coating, and should never be removed. The application of other lubri-cants is not recommended, and is likely to lead to installa-tion problems.

• The condition of the nose assembly anvil is equally impor-

tant. The anvil swage cavity should be examined frequently for evidence of wear and buildup or transfer of collar mate-rial to the anvil. This examination is especially important if the swaged collars appear to have their coating being scrapped off, or if the swage gage rejects installations. The anvil cavity should have the appearance of a well polished surface. Any buildup of material that occurs should be re-moved using steel wool followed by wiping with a clean cloth or paper towel. If this cleaning does not restore the anvil cavity to a bright polished appearance galling or wear the anvil needs to be replaced. Frequently the first indication of anvil cavity wear is the eroding of a "ring" on the anvil cavity surface. The swaging anvil needs to be replaced with a new one when the wear starts to become severe. Anvil swaging cavities have highly engineered forms and dimensions which should not be altered by anything more than a "light" polish.

Pull-in Assembly Sequence

1) Tool engages pintail

2) Bolt pulled in part way

3) Bolt pulled in, head seated, gap closed

4) Self releas-ing chuck jaws open

5) Pull-in tool removed

112

Excessive amounts of sealant on the lock grooves may in-terfere with proper collar swaging and should also be wiped off prior to assembling with the collar. Small traces of sealant remaining in the bottom of the lock grooves after wiping do not affect swaging of the collar and need not be removed.

Sealant Clean-up Recommendations

Excess sealant on the pintails contaminate installation tooling and should be wiped off prior to engaging the tool.

113

Swaging Assembly Sequence

1) Engage lockbolt pintail with installation tool.

2) Gripper jaws engaged, gap closed, collar swage begins.

3) Swage process continues, collar material engages the lock grooves, lockbolt stretches and generates clamp-up.

4) Swage process complete, collar material fully en-gages the lock grooves.

5) Pintail fractures at the break notch.

6) Tool reverses motion and strips the tool anvil off the swaged collar.

7) Installation complete. The entire operation is completed in 2 seconds or less.

114

1) Structure clamped. Pin and collar in place

5) Process complete, clamp retracts, machine reposi-tions for the next fastener

Inspection & Tolerances

2°

Countersink to hole concentricity and angularity are critical. A lockbolt can typically absorb up to 2° of angular misalignment.

.002” Feeler gauge wedges

Ideally, the head should contact the countersink to prevent a .002” feeler gauge from entering. The lim-iting condition is that the feeler gage must wedge before contacting the shank of the fastener.

117

Inspection & Tolerances (Cont’d)

Figure below illustrates excessive head dishing with probability of head crack. This condition can result from overloading the fastener head during installation due to poor hole/countersink alignment. Parts exhibiting this degree of head dishing/cracking should be removed and replaced.

Potential Head Crack

Small degrees of head dishing are common with shear head lockbolts and result from the high retained clamp-ing force of the fasteners. Recommended safe limits for head dishing are shown below.

Head Dish

Diameter Maximum Dish

Up to –06 Dia .003”

-08 Dia and up .004”

118

Slope Tolerance

The collar swaging process tends to flow the collar material to adapt to the contour of the structure. As a result, the system with the Aluminum collars can ab-sorb slopes of up to 7° on the collar side.

7° Slope

The flanged Titanium collars can absorb slopes of up to 5° on the collar side.
