Speed Fasteners for Rapid, Reliable Assembly
In short: Speed fasteners are fed from a magazine into a high-speed tool, so blind fasteners can be installed one after another without reloading. They give fast, consistent joints in high-volume assembly.

On an assembly line, every second counts. Speed fastening systems join metals, plastics and electronic components quickly and reliably: the fasteners are fed from a magazine into a high-speed installation tool, so the operator can place one after another without reloading. The result is a significant gain in productivity on high-volume work.
Key features
- Blind-side access: like blind rivets, speed fasteners are installed from one side only.
- Consistent clamping: every fastener applies the same, repeatable clamp force, which matters in precision assembly.
- Strong, durable joints: available in aluminium, steel and stainless steel.
- Speed: magazine feeding removes the time spent loading each fastener.
Common applications
- Aerospace and aviation: cabin interiors, seat frames and ductwork.
- Automotive: lightweight body components and brackets.
- Electronics: enclosures, heat sinks and casings.
- White goods and appliances: panels and housings.
- Sheet metal fabrication: fast joining of thin or dissimilar materials.
Is a speed fastening system right for you?
Speed fastening pays off where the same joint is made many times, such as on a production line. For lower volumes, standard blind rivets and hand or pneumatic tools may be more economical. Avlock’s team can assess your application and recommend the system that saves time without compromising quality.
