The Lighter Choice: Reducing Weight Without Reducing Quality
Lighter doesn’t mean weaker. Avdel Speed Fasteners combine low weight with high strength, making them perfect for aerospace, rail, and high-volume manufacturing. Every gram saved reduces handling strain, speeds up assembly lines, and improves product efficiency.
What Makes Avdel Unique
- Half the installed weight of equivalent break-stem rivets
- Cycle times under 2 seconds in optimized setups
- Excellent shear, tension, and vibration resistance
- Compatible with aluminium, steel, and composites
That means faster, cleaner assemblies without compromising strength.
Industry Impact
Aerospace: Every gram counts. Lightweight fasteners improve fuel efficiency, payload, and overall performance. Modern aircraft panels see up to 10% weight reduction with advanced fastening solutions.
Rail: Lighter assemblies reduce handling, cut cycle times, and save on material costs, helping manufacturers meet efficiency and weight targets.
On the Factory Floor
- Lighter tools = less operator fatigue
- Mag-fed or bowl-fed systems = faster, more accurate installations
- Consistent joints = fewer rejects and reworks
The Takeaway
Avdel Speed Fasteners let you reduce weight without reducing quality. They make assembly faster, easier, and more efficient, whether you’re building trains, planes, or high-volume components.
