 The Huck BOM ®

The highest strength blind oversize fasteners in the world.

The BOM® (Blind, Oversize Mechanically locked) fasteners from Alcoa Fastening Systems &

Rings are so strong, one can do the work of up to four ordinary fasteners.

You won’t find a more vibration resistant blind fastener, or one that works harder in so

many different applications. With its unique push-and-pull installation design, the BOM
fastening system is tough enough for military vehicles and equipment, auto suspensions,

amusement park rides, rail car assembly, and automatic storage and retrieval racks of shaft

steel construction. Even the most demanding high-tensile application is no match for the

strength of the BOM fastening system.

Because installing BOM fasteners is so easy, a worker can learn the installation

procedure in just 10 minutes, eliminating the need to hire certified welders or

specially trained employees. And because they install from just one side, they can

be used in all blind side applications.

Installations are more accurate than other fasteners of the same kind, because the

element of human error is not an issue. In other words, correct installation doesn’t

depend on operator skill or specialized tools. Plus, chances are you can start using

BOM fasteners immediately with your current tools, saving you more money in

the long run.

Installation Sequence

Insert the fastener into Press the trigger to initiate Continued pulling on Once the collar is swaged,
the hole and slip the pulling action. As the tool the pintail draws the the pin breaks leaving a high
installation tool over pulls on the pintail, work pieces together strength, vibration resistant
the pintail. the unique collar design and the swaging anvil secured joint.
“stands off” the swaging overcomes the standoff
action until the maximum and moves down the length
allowable bulb is formed of the collar, securely locking
on the backside. the collar to the pin.

Secure, fast installation

When the pin separates near flush, the BOM
fastener is installed correctly. The BOM fastener
does not require surface preparation, grinding
or filling after installation.

The collar is locked to the pin through the

“swaging” process, creating a high vibration
resistant connection and the highest strength of
any blind fastener.

Large bearing area on both sides of the work

piece ensures a permanently held, tamper
resistant joint.

BOM® benefits
■ Unmatched installation speed ■ No repetitive stress injuries
■ Low overall installed cost ■ Eliminates need for secondary
operations
■ Vibration resistance
■ No special training or skills required
■ Quiet non-torque tools
for operators
