2026-03-04
Global aerospace and transportation engineering solutions leader Howmet Aerospace has unveiled the Huck® Bobtail® R fastener, a breakthrough in fastening technology that combines the permanence of traditional lockbolts with easy removal using standard torque tools, resolving engineers' longstanding trade-off between durability and serviceability.
This latest lockbolt iteration provides robust vibration-resistant fastening that can be quickly disassembled without specialized equipment, unlike conventional threaded fasteners or welding. Its intuitive installation tools address global manufacturing skills gaps. Howmet's Engineering and Technology Director Jonathan Craven stated: "Bobtail® R extends the immense value of Huck® lockbolts to broader users—permanent like any Huck® lockbolt, yet safely removable with conventional tools when needed."
Key features include reduced maintenance costs by preventing loosening under stress; simplified training; joint strength up to five times the fatigue life of traditional bolts; and easy removal with standard torque wrenches. Ideal for marine, heavy machinery, support vehicles, and structures requiring safety, reliability, and serviceability.
Craven added: "This is more than a fastener—it's a productivity tool: maintenance-free, consistent preload, vibration-resistant, with simple, reliable installation like traditional Huck® lockbolts." Available now in various diameters and coatings, with custom options.
