About Gage Bilt

Gage Bilt has worked in fastener installation tools since 1956. Its official site describes the company as an engineer and manufacturer of rivet and lockbolt tools for industrial, aerospace and commercial assembly applications.

The system extends beyond a single hand tool. It includes hydraulic power units, split systems, straight, right angle and offset nose assemblies, kits, accessories and FOD control products. The range of drive options lets a workcell be designed around fastener type, access limits and required mobility. The review should also cover tool weight, maneuvering space, safety requirements and fastener changeover. This supports a consistent workcell rather than a power only match.

Matching a Gage Bilt tool with Hadi Technologies

Selection starts with fastener code, rivet or lockbolt type, two-sided access, cycle rate and drive preference. A drawing and photo help choose straight, angle or offset noses.

Hadi can organize fastener data and check tool, nose, power unit and accessories against the available Gage Bilt catalogue. Share the joint specification for matching and a quotation.

Questions to help you choose

How do you select the correct nose assembly for a Gage Bilt tool?

Select the nose by fastener type, fastener diameter, grip range and access to the work area. The nose, power unit and tool must be compatible as a set, because a nose with adequate force but the wrong geometry can compromise installation or access.

When should you choose a Pneudraulic system versus a battery tool?

A Pneudraulic system suits repetitive workstation work where plant air is available and consistent installation is required. A battery tool gives more freedom around the assembly, but weight, battery capacity, cycle rate and charging time must be considered.

What is the role of power units and split systems?

The power unit supplies hydraulic actuation, while a split system separates the drive unit from the nose to improve access in confined assemblies. Matching depends on required force, hose length, maneuvering space and fastener type, rather than on the tool family name alone.

What information is needed to design a rivet or lockbolt installation workstation?

Define the fastener type and diameter, assembly materials, stack thickness, installation direction, rear access and cycle rate. Also specify whether a straight, right angle or offset nose is needed and whether FOD controls or process checks apply, so the tool, nose and accessories are matched together.
