U.S. Navy Landing Craft, Air Cushion (LCAC)
Specialty fastener manufacturer Permanent Technologies Inc. delivered a supply of the latest advanced hybrid version of their patented TineLok Vibration Proof Fasteners to the U.S. Navy for use on the LCAC Hovercraft.
“We worked closely with the U.S. Navy to engineer TineLok to meet the most severe conditions imaginable — including extreme vibration and a highly corrosive environment — experienced by Navy vessels,” said Pierre Dionne, president of Permanent Technologies Inc. “And TineLok exceeded the Navy’s demanding performance requirements.”
Each of the 72 Hovercrafts in the fleet employs a skirt system secured by approximately 10,000 fasteners. Permanent Technologies’ objective is for TineLok to replace the existing fasteners on every ship.
In addition the company believes other applications are possible for TineLok within the Navy and within other military branches.
“Our new hybrid TineLok fasteners should be installed on the Hovercraft very soon for field testing. Once that test is successful we believe the Navy will roll out TineLok for the skirt system on all the existing Hovercrafts as well as new crafts being developed,” continued Dionne.
Permanent Technologies refined the TineLok’s design based on customer feedback.
Its updated manufacturing plan includes engaging Aztec Tool, an experienced manufacturing, product design and plastic injection molding company located in Edgewood, NY.
“Their ability to fabricate prototypes, build injection molds and produce complex injection molding, all under one roof, makes Aztec an integral part of our enhanced product development,” Dionne added.
Huntington, NY-based Permanent Technologies developed the patented TineLok vibration-proof fastening system. The TineLok system is designed to hold in extreme and harsh conditions. Web: tinelok.com ©2010 GlobalFastenerNews.com
