Single sided temporary fasteners for aerospace
HADI Technologies presents Kwikbolt single sided temporary fasteners in Israel, providing one side clamping and alignment for aerospace and composite assemblies. Standard, bespoke and installation solutions are available.
Kwikbolt specializes in single sided temporary fasteners that can be installed and removed from one side of a structure. The company describes products for aerospace tolerances and performance, alongside bespoke design and robotic installation and removal systems.
The portfolio includes Lightning for smaller diameters, Thunder for limited backside clearance, Kleko360 as an off the shelf alternative to cylindrical fasteners, and Eagle and Phantom jig fasteners. The site describes one side clamping and doweling, manual, semi automated and robotic use, and broad hole and length ranges. For repeated use, define cleaning, inspection and cycle counting. This helps maintain fastener reliability throughout the assembly process.
Single sided temporary fasteners for panels and structures, including limited backside clearance applications.
Jig fasteners for accurate hole creation, with standard or bespoke configurations for the assembly.
Off the shelf fasteners and installation and removal accessories for manual, powered or robotic processes.
Enables one side alignment and clamping
The manufacturer rates products up to 500 cycles
Supports manual and automated processes
Selection requires hole diameter, material thickness, grip, structure material, backside access and drilling method. For bespoke work, include a jig or structure drawing and operation sequence.

A single-sided fastener secures panels or parts when rear access is restricted and can then be removed before the permanent fastener is installed. It is intended for assembly and drilling stages, so it is not automatically a substitute for the final fastener or the approved structural design.
Start with hole diameter, fastener length, stack thickness and access around the assembly. Lightning targets smaller diameters, Thunder addresses limited rear clearance, Eagle and Phantom serve jig applications, and Kleko360 is a magazine-style fastener, but the specific assembly still needs to be checked.
Define cleaning, inspection and cycle counting before reuse, and remove any fastener showing wear, distortion or mechanism damage. The manufacturer states a 500-cycle rating, but that rating does not replace inspection or the application instructions.
Robotic installation can suit repeated hole patterns, high production volume or a process that needs consistent placement and force. Check fastener configuration, access, cycle time, robot gripping, and removal without damaging the part before selecting automation.
