Huck Bolts in Fatigue Environment

I have installed some Huck Bolts on a screen and I am wondering how to design them into a slightly different application where the vessel holds run of mine material and is subject to vibration. I am trying to get away from welding.

I know how to drill a tapered hole, The question is : a) should I expect Huck Bolting to be more expensive than welding to AS 1554 Part 4 B) How to design the joints; is there any reference literature about? c) Am I in trouble if the raised part of the head wears off the Huck bolt as ore will run over it. d) Would you expect the huck bolting to be quicker than welding.

The reason for looking at Huck bolts is that I figure they will be less prone to problems with site assembly than welding and hopefully quicker. We cant weld in breeze as it blows the shielding gas away (no we cant change that) and we cant weld with moisture. I am thinking the Huck bolt idea will mean a general good trades person could then do the task.

Reading your post, i comment as follows:

Huck bolts in vibrating screens are used for this purpose basically, due to even torque values being maintained unlike grade 5 or grade 8 hardware which can in fact be unevenly torqued by improper installation methods. Of course, uneven torque value in vib screen bodies is UNDESIRABLE, as this will lead to more movement in the sideplates etc and this leads to failure.

HUCK bolt useage comes from the aircraft industry where even torque value is highly important.

HUCK BOLT installation is very quick, very easy, pretty idiot proof, and is quite easier than having to drill REAM FIT HOLES like the old days, ntl fine threaded hardware, etc.

I would say much quicker than WELDING, if worried about heads being worn off counter sink the bolt holes to protect or cap over the heads.

i shall send some trade articles for your review from the HUCK FOLKS.

Notso: Thanks very much for that I will keep going with the idea

Huck Bolting Makes It Easy

Hello ,

I am from Huck Fastening Systems - Industrial Products in India.

Huck fastenings are the perfect solution for fastening in the high vibration zones.

As it gets swaged not torqued and gets lock over the grove of the pin.

I can be contacted at 9049800189 for any assistance.
