Unlimited Applications

Unlimited applications in landmark projects

Our comprehensive product range suits any engineering project, wherever the location, whatever the material, from railways and tunnelling to scaffolding and formwork.

Our range of Excalibur Screwbolts from 6mm through to 20mm diameter - with corresponding lengths of 30mm to 420mm with varying head styles - are simple and cost-effective to install. Ours was the first anchor designed to be removed and replaced, suitable for both permanent and temporary applications.

Our Excalibur Screwbolts are used to attach any infrastructure, including heavy equipment, to all known substrates including concrete, brick, timber, rock, stone and steel. You can see our Excalibur Screwbolts utilised in landmark engineering projects including the London 2012 Olympic Village, the UK Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland.

Continuous locking action -
POWERLOK® screws do not have to be seated to lock as the locking thread feature extends the entire length of the fastener. They resist vibration at any point along their body length. POWERLOK® fasteners are excellent adjusting screws. The locking action is instantaneous and unlike chemical locking agents, no reaction or curing time is required.

Resistant to high temperatures -
POWERLOK® screws do not lose their action or efficiency in high temperature environments. Non-metallic additives featured with many locking screws lose much or all of their developed force or deteriorate with time under the influence of a temperature of 200°F or higher. POWERLOK®, being an all-metal locking fastener, is unaffected by these or higher operating temperatures.

POWERLOK®

Already in use in automotive and other mass-assembly operations. You can use POWERLOK® screws wherever you need - reliable vibration resistance and continued high performance despite repeated assembly/disassembly - using normal tapped holes. They can be used in pre-tapped holes in ductile metals. http://www.caparoatlasfastenings.com/registered/43-powerlokr/
