The unique design of Magna-Bulb® ensures a tight fit, no matter what the application. T he Magna-Bulb® blind fastening system from Alcoa was designed to ensure a strong hold and tight joints within a wide variety of materials, including plastic, fiberglass, metal, and composite fabrication. The wide, blind footprint design is the key. Magna-Bulb was engineered specifically for blind side sheets, featuring a broader bearing surface which helps to spread the load over more area. Ultimately, this creates a stronger, longer-lasting connection. What’s more, an internal mechanical solid-circle lock design adds pin retention strength. And the wide bulb on the blind side eliminates pull-through with thin materials. So even on low-strength materials, Magna-Bulb creates a full-strength joint. Environment and budget friendly installation. Because Magna-Bulb fasteners aren’t installed with torque wrenches, welding equipment, or riveters’ hammers, they offer an inherently quieter work environment. And since workers experience fewer injuries and less fatigue using our revolutionary tooling system, you’ll experience added cost savings. Easy, one-step operation and inspection. The Magna-Bulb system eliminates the need to hire certified welders or specially trained employees, because workers can be instructed to install these foolproof fasteners in 10 minutes. 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. If the core pin is flush, then the installation is successful; a quick visual inspection is all you need. Torque inspections or x-rays aren’t necessary. And the lock is repeatable –there’s no need to grind or fill. Strong support. Alcoa Fastening Systems’ skilled and knowledgeable technicians – your Huck System Specialists – are ready and waiting with valuable consultation, evaluation, installation assistance, and in-depth staff training capabilities. No other fastening company can match this level of premium, value-added support.
