Skybolt's goal is to become the world's highest rated Contract Manufacturer of Panel
Fasteners. We innovate. We engineer. We deliver.
Skybolt manufactures three variants
of common ¼-Turn Panel Fasteners patterned after Camloc®, Dzus®, and Airloc® designs. The term “Dzus” has become
generic for Panel Fasteners, however, the most utilized design is the “Camloc”
style fastener. Airloc® fasteners are
common on Beech aircraft. Our production
is primarily focused in 300 Stainless and Skytanium® materials. Most Skybolt® Skyloc® ¼-Turn Fasteners have design
strength ratings that meet or exceed NASM5591 Chart II values for steel. This prevents having to use A286 or 400
Series Stainless that has undesirable corrosion properties. Skytanium® affords us up to 50% weight
savings at the steel strength values.
You will find Skybolt CLoc® Skytanium® fasteners from Airbus to NASCAR
and beyond – a functional fastener with incredible weight advantages.
If you are new to panel fasteners,
depending on your application, use the following chart to help guide you
to the quickest solution. If you cannot
find exactly what you had in mind, Skybolt® stands ready to take your idea or
project through the design stage; all the way to production; typically in 30
days; depending on supporting components.
We spend about half our time on specific design projects and half our
time improving our production standards to keep all Skybolt® ¼-Turn Fasteners
one, two, three or more generations ahead of any competitor.
