THE LATEST Pop Avdel lockbolt systems for jobs requiring safety- critical fastening security are powered by high- efficiency Enerpac pumping systems engineered to complete maintenance and fabrication tasks with optimum speed and minimum downtime.

The ‘ruggedly engineered’ lockbolt systems are designed for high-strength, secure assembly tasks in applications that may involve a wide range of moving parts, or which are subject to vibration and unpredictable stresses and rugged conditions that can produce fatigue failures, says the manufacturer.

Quick and simple to place, the tools from Stanley Engineered Fastening are designed for higher speed installation of larger diameter lockbolts as an ideal solution where spot welding is not practical and other methods are costly, time- consuming or not possible, says Ashley Gorman, National Sales Manager, Infastech Engineered Fastening Pty Ltd, the exclusive distributor of Stanley Engineered Fastening in Australia and New Zealand.

The ‘robust and highly durable’ installation tools – featuring highperformance hydraulic seal and wiper technology with piston bearing rings for long working life – are complemented by the Enerpac pumping technologies selected for integration with them to deliver compact, ergonomic and highspeed operation reliably in extreme conditions.

Industries where Avdel’s lockbolts are typically applied include mining and energy, oil and gas, bulk handling, ports and loaders and construction and infrastructure development. Fabrication and maintenance tasks on which they are employed include road barriers, bridges, tunnels, road and rail networks; static plant including mineral processing and iron ore and coal handling technologies; as well as mobile rail, road and off-road machinery ranging from trucks and railway wagons through to conveyors, elevators, draglines and loaders.

Enerpac says its pumping technologies selected by Infastech have all been proven globally and locally in arduous conditions and complement Avdel tools’ optimised operator comfort and manoeuvrability in limited access situations.

They include:

• Enerpac ZE series electric pumps with high- efficiency oil flow and bypass features to minimise delays, as well as strong protection of electronics, power supplies, and LCD readout for clear control in aggressive environments, including mines and resources worksites.

• Enerpac ZU series energy- conserving portable pumps with powerful 1.25kw motors, providing high power-to-weight performance complemented by high- efficiency two-speed pump design incorporating high oil flow and bypass pressure. DETAILS,NEVILLESTUART,PH:021667716; EMAILNEVILLE@ENERPAC.CO.NZ
