Self-Retaining Bolts
Self-retaining bolts are fail-safe shear bolts for use in dynamic joint assemblies such as control
linkages for flight surfaces, engine mechanisms, and fuel systems. PCC produces a variety of selfretaining bolt systems, which are available in any style shear bolt. Self-retaining configurations
include: Circular Spring, Positive Lock, Impedance, Pawl and Thread End Release.
Expandable
Diameter
Fasteners
Hook Bolts
Hook bolts (also known as retainer bolts) eliminate loosening in assembly. The retainer,
permanently affixed to the head of the bolt, is engaged in an adjacent hole, slot,
or over-the-edge of the assembly.
Tapered Shank Bolts
TAPER-LOK is an interference fit fastening system with a self-sealing feature. The system
includes a close tolerance tapered shank bolt and a companion washer-nut which is self-centering
and self-locking.
Sleeved Fastening Systems
PCC manufactures two sleeved fastening systems to provide fatigue life enhancement in metal
and hole fill in composite aircraft structures. The hole fill provided by both systems has been
shown to improve lightning strike performance, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength
in composite joints.
Self-Retaining
Bolts
The SLEEVbolt system installs in a straight hole and uniformly expands to an interference
fit as the tightening of the nut draws the tapered bolt into the sleeve
having a reverse taper on its inner diameter
and a constant outer diameter.

including castellated, lightweight, self-aligning, close clearance,
captive washer, flanged, shear, structural shear, high temperature,
and high tensile. The products are available in carbon steel, stainless
steel, A286, alloy steel, aluminum, and brass with a wide range
of finish options including cadmium, zinc, dull nickel, black oxide,
cadmium type II, silver, and dry film lube. Both unified and metric
sizes are available per AN, NAS, MS, NSA, and OEM standards. Please
refer to the FLEXLOC , ESNA, and GREER STOP NUT product line
catalogs for additional details on PCC standard designs.
Barrel Nuts
Barrel Nuts
Barrel nuts provide self-wrenching, self-locking attachment points within thick structural
joints, thereby reducing the cost and weight of drilling through the entire structure and
using a longer bolt. They are designed for use with high tensile strength bolts to join
load carrying members. Landing gear to fuselage, engine pods to wings, and nacelle and
fuel tank attachments are typical of the many places barrel nuts are used. Fabricated
in advanced aerospace alloys, designs include floating or nonfloating, metallic lock or
nonmetallic ring, tandem nuts with spreaders, spreaders that articulate, and barrel nuts
with attached retainers or lanyards.
Bearing Locknuts
Bearing locknuts are designed for shaft or spindle applications in aircraft engines,
gearboxes and transmissions to provide a positive rotational lock under vibratory
conditions and maintain precise torque pre-loads. PCCs STA-LOK system uses a
serrated washer that installs onto a serrated shaft and then snaps into or over the nut to
retain it. The precision and effectiveness of this mechanical lock has made it the industry
design standard. Bearing Locknuts are available in advanced aerospace alloys with either
internal or external threads, internal or external wrenching slots or holes, and metallic or
nonmetallic locking devices in sizes from 0.5 to 8 inches in diameter.
Shank Nuts
Bearing Locknuts
Shank nuts are high temperature, high tensile strength nuts that are used primarily in
aircraft engine applications. The nuts are installed by flaring the nut shank with a conical
tool. Standard shank nuts are manufactured in a variety of configurations and materials
to OEM standards and specifications.
Shank Nuts
Blade Locks
Blade locks (also known as locking lugs) are specialized nuts used to prevent fan,
compressor, and turbine blades from moving axially with respect to the disk at their
attachment point. PCC manufactures these nuts and the companion set screws to meet
the most stringent OEM requirements.
Anchor Nuts
Clinch and Swage Nuts
Blade Locks
Anchor Nuts
Anchor nuts, also called nut plates, are self-wrenching, self-locking nuts
for use in closeout or space constrained areas to provide a permanent
nut element on the inside of the joint so that a skin, access
panel, fairing, or other member can be attached with a
screw. PCC manufactures an extensive line of nut plates
covering a full range of sizes, materials, and finishes
per AN, AS, NAS, MS, EN, and OEM standards.
Nut plate product lines include riveted, clip
nut, and rivetless in a variety of configurations
including close structural tolerance, high float,
ultra high float, self-sealing, and spring-loaded
configurations.

Blind Rivets
Blind Rivets
For over 70 years, Cherry has been a leading aerospace rivet brand. Cherry Blind Rivets were
originally developed for structural assembly in areas of the aircraft where installation access is
limited to one side of the structure. However, the wide range of standard designs, installation
efficiency, and ergonomic benefits has made them a preferred alternative to solid rivets in many
applications.
The CherryMAX system utilizes a simple, single pulling head to install many diameters, head
configurations and materials including bulbed versions for thin sheet and bearing load sensitive
applications and wiredraw versions for sheet take-up and hole filling.
The CherryLock system is designed with high tensile, shear, and fatigue strengths and
is particularly well suited to double dimple and high vibration areas.
Blind Bolts
PCCs MAXIBOLT and MAXIBOLT PLUS blind fasteners install quickly and provide
high-strength fastening in a wide range of structural materials and joints. The original
MAXIBOLT line is available in alloy steel, titanium, and CRES in flush and protruding
head styles.
The MAXIBOLT PLUS system comes in stainless steel and titanium in all standard
head configurations and grips. Its larger blind side footprint gives it excellent
performance in thin sheet and non-metallic applications.
Blind Nuts
Blind
Bolts
Blind nuts are self-wrenching, self-locking nuts that install through the hole in
the structure from the bolt side. A press nut is a versatile blind nut style that is used in a variety of
applications including wet wing panel attachment. PCC manufactures
a broad range of press nuts in both stainless and alloy steel in open and capped styles.
Solid Rivets
Solid Rivets
Solid rivets are high-strength fasteners used in aircraft shear joint structural assemblies.
PCC manufactures a broad selection of solid rivets including the CherryBUCK line
of titanium rivets.
Panel Fasteners
PCC produces a broad range of structural panel fastener systems to fulfill almost every application
requirement including high vibration, variable grip length, composite installation, curved surfaces,
misaligned holes, and high cycle use. The products are available with external or internal threads
and non-exposed working components in both unified and metric sizes.
AVILOK structural panel fasteners combine a unique ratchet design with quad lead threads for
quick installation and removal plus a positive lock for use in severe vibration conditions.
Panel Fasteners
E-Nut is a top-down, flush fit, captive blind fastener designed to provide installation time and
weight savings over clip nuts in floor and wall installations. The product is water tight, satisfies
flotation requirements, and accommodates a variety of material types and depths including
composite materials.
Series 3000 fasteners incorporate a unique locking device designed for structural doors and
panels that are frequently removed and replaced. The system features positive hold out of the
sleeve bolt and hole lining to eliminate panel dimpling.
PCC developed Preload Indicating Washers to provide a more accurate bolt preload indication than
can be achieved with torque tightening and a torque wrench, thus allowing designers to specify
a higher bolt preload. The washers are available in under nut and under bolt head standard and
oversize configurations for stress levels between 80 ksi and 260 ksi.
PCC inserts are potted or mechanically installed in sandwich material, like honeycomb, to allow
fabrication of aircraft interior secondary structure including stow bins, galleys, and lavatories.
Insert types include threaded or non-threaded, through or blind, locking or non-locking. Floating
inserts feature a nut component that can move to compensate for screw misalignment.
Our line of spacers includes one piece and two piece plug and sleeve designs for use in structural
applications such as aircraft floors.
