BLIND INSTALLED THREADED INSERTS AND STUDS
A blind installed threaded fastener is defined as a fastener with internal or external threads that can be
installed into a panel, tube or other structure from the front side without need to see or access the
backside, or “blind” side to complete the installation. Once installed the fastener remains captive to

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
AVK has developed specific manufacturing technology that sets our products apart from other blind
installed fastener manufacturers. We call what we do “Spinwall Technology.” AVK’s Spinwall Technology™
blind installed fasteners consist of two types. Internally threaded inserts and externally threaded studs. Both
products can be installed into a flat, tubular or other shaped materials using hand operated or pneumatic
hand held tools right on your assembly line without adjustment even if the parent material varies in thickness.
Our products can be installed after paint or other finishes is applied to your product which eliminates the need
for thread masking.

SPINWALL TECHNOLOGY™
Spinwall Technology™ ...Sets AVK apart
You will notice throughout this catalog references to the phrase Spinwall Technology™. This phrase describes the
philosophy of our product’s design, manufacturing and installation systems.
Our Spinwall Technology™ products are manufactured on high-speed, state-of-the-art cold forming equipment on
which very precise tolerances are achieved. This capability allows AVK to produce products with unique mechanical
and installation properties that result in the AVK product filling the hole prior to backside flange formation. Read
more about hole fill and the other advantages of Spinwall Technology™ on the separate product profile pages.
Our Spinwall Technology™ products can be installed using

three different types of installation tooling...

ADVANTAGES OF ASSEMBLY WITH AVK
Here are a few reasons why the use of AVK’s blind installed fasteners are
“Improving The Way We Assemble The World”™
.020 MIN
MATERIAL THICKNESS
Material thickness is being reduced to save weight, fuel, pollution and raw
material cost. Fastening to thin materials is simple and reliable with AVK.
AVK fasteners can be installed into thinner materials with greater ease
than can be accomplished with weld nuts, pierce nuts, clinch nuts, thread
tapping and thread forming screws.
*Minimum grips vary per thread size
INSTALLS BLIND
New material structures such as hydro formed tubing, alumi-
num extrusions and composite panels are being specified due
to their strength to weight ratios. These materials form blind
applications and are ideal for AVK fasteners versus
other types of fasteners.
NEAT AND CLEAN

Welding and the attachment of weld fasteners are being replaced
with AVK due to health and clean air requirements for workers. The
alternatives are expensive capital equipment vacuuming and air scrub-
ber equipment. Weld fasteners also burn away pre-applied galvanized
finishes requiring re-work to prevent corrosion. Pre-painted materials cannot
be used with weld fasteners as the paint prevents weld nut attachment. Use of pre-painted materials can eliminate
painting facility costs and environmental issues. Weld fasteners must be applied before a product is painted.
Thread masking procedures are eliminated by the use of AVK as our products can be installed after paint.
PLASTICS & COMPOSITES

Plastics and composites are being used for products to take
advantage of their molding, corrosion resistance, coloring
and strength to weight ratios. AVK has specific products for
blow, rotational, compression, vacuum, scrimp, honeycomb,
processed plastic and composites.
Products designed for consumer assembly to reduce in plant assembly costs use AVK to provide strong threads
for the attachment of component parts using conventional hardware.

A-H SERIES INSERT PROFILE
The A-H Series Insert features a radius corner hex body. When installed into a corresponding
hex hole, the radius corners of the A-H Series Insert expand and fill the hole corners providing
exceptional resistance to spinning in the panel. The A-H Series is designed to be used with
Grade 5 or Metric Class 8.8/9.8 mating screws.
The A-H Series Insert can be installed using AVK’s ARO brand pneumatic tools or AVK’s SPP™

A-R SERIES™ INSERT PROFILE
The A-R Series™ threaded insert has been designed for use in plastics and thin gauge sheet
metal applications where increased pull-out resistance is required.
The A-R Series features a PreSet™ slotted body design that when installed folds into four
segments gripping the backside of the parent material. This design feature allows the A-R
Series to be installed into single, variable or multiple thickness materials using AVK’s ARO
torque-stall pneumatic tools or AVK’s SPP™ pneumatic/hydraulic tools.

A-S SERIES STUD PROFILE
The A-S Series Stud offers a unique design advantage in that once installed, a threaded
stud is left protruding from the workpiece. Component parts can be located on the
stud until final assembly is accomplished with a mating nut. The A-S series is an ideal
alternative to clinch or weld studs. The A-S Series is designed to be used with Grade 5
or Metric Class 8.8/9.8 non thread locking type nuts.
The A-S Series Stud is installed using AVK’s ARO brand pneumatic tools or AVK’s SPP™
pneumatic/hydraulic tools. These tools can be located at any position on your assembly
line. The A-S Series Stud can be installed either before or after finish.

A-T SERIES INSERT PROFILE
The A-T Series Insert is unique in that it can be installed into most any material above
.030/,76 mm in thickness. As the A-T Series is installed, the threaded portion is
completely swaged 360° into the sleeve portion and the hole. This permits the A-T
Series to be used with Grade 8/Metric 12.9 mating screws.
The A-T Series Insert is installed using lightweight, handheld pneumatic ARO tools that
can be located at any position in your product’s assembly sequence. The A-T Series
Insert can be installed either prior to or after finish.

A-O SERIES PROFILE
The A-O Series Insert features a reduced profile head design which is similar to the superior A-K Series
Insert. It also has a smaller body diameter than the A-K Series Insert. The A-O Series Insert can be
specified when the application design parameters require a smaller hole or closer hole to edge
tolerances.
The A-O Series can be installed with AVK’s ARO brand pneumatic tools or AVK’s SPP™ pneumatic/hydraulic
tools. These tools can be located at any position on your assembly line. The A-O Series can be installed
either prior to or after finish further enhancing its flexibility in your manufacturing environment.

AVK COMPRESSION LIMITER
Compression limiters are utilized daily in applications where

a compressive load is applied to a composite assembly. The
compression limiter distributes and transfers clamp load
when the mating bolt or screw is installed into a composite
assembly. This distribution of clamp load prevents damage
to your assembly and compensates for expansion and
contraction of the composite substraight. Thus, the
compression limiter will provide consistent joint integrity
allowing your joint assembly to remain tight.
Compression limiters are designed specifically for

customer’s requirements. Simply call your local AVK Sales

HOW THE AVK TOOL WORKS

The operator quarter turns an AVK threaded insert onto the tool
mandrel and places it into the hole in the parent material.
The top trigger is depressed and the tool mandrel spins

into the insert.
The head of the threaded insert is gripped by the

knurling at the nose piece preventing it from spinning as

This chart designates the tool, spare parts and dynamic (tool running)
air pressure requirements for our most popular steel product.
The bearing set must be kept in a WET lubricated condition to assure proper tool operation. AVK suggests the use of high temperature grease such as LUBRIPLATE
BRAND 930 AA.
The tool mandrel should be inspected for thread wear or damage and replaced. To test the condition of the mandrel, thread an AVK insert onto the mandrel
backwards until it touches the pilot. If any drag is still felt, replace the mandrel with Unbrako socket head cap screws.

NEW SPP2™ TOOL SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The New SPP2™ Modularized Tool System
has been designed exclusively to install AVK’s
complete line of blind installed fastener. The
term SPP2™ stands for Spin Pull to Pressure.
The SPP2™ tool spins into the AVK fastener,
automatically pulling the fasteners into a
proper installation utilizing pressure as the
upset control method. Pulling to pressure
insures the AVK fastener will be installed
correctly into single, multiple or variable
thickness materials without adjustment.
THE TOOL SYSTEM FEATURES

The Power Pack contains the air over hydraulic power system.The Power Pack is capable of providing 7,500 lbs.
of pulling force enabling the tool to install any AVK product in any thread size up to 1/2” and M12. Combined
with a NEW Pneumatic-Hydraulic Boost System providing a 15% to 20% faster cycle time for rapid installation.
The all new SPP2™ comes furnished with attached tool hangers, casters and durable air and hydraulic quick
release fittings allowing the operator to pull the unit along the work floor.
The Power Pack can be adjusted to pull any AVK fastener with the simple adjustment of an air pressure regula-
tor. Our new robust design features a see through glass hydraulic fluid reservoir for visual inspection of the
hydraulic fluid level, enabling quick and easy adjustments.
The SPP2™ tool is lightweight and ergonomically designed. It features a rocker style trigger and a high speed
motor that provides the quickest spin-in / spin-out of any tool on the market. The tool also has a patented
quick release thread adaptation kit that makes thread size changes quick and easy with no wrenches required.
NEW SPP2™ DATA MASTER

AVK is committed to superior quality, reducing rework cost, and providing
optimal joint integrity for our customer’s assemblies. With joint integrity in
mind, AVK is pleased to introduce our “SPP2-Data Master™” PLC Linked
Installation Tool System.
AVK’s Data Master™ will analyze every insert installation by virtue of

the on board PLC. The Data Master Pistol sets the insert and transmits
air pressure signals to the PLC and converts that into usable installa-
tion verification information. This data appears on the systems
computer screen as a good or faulty installation. The data is stored
and collected for current and future evaluation to substantiate proper
insert placement, indicating correct product assembly installation.
AVK’s Data Master™ houses a redesigned spacing saving SPP2 Power

pack which is connected to the SPP2 Pistol and linked to our on board
PLC. Our Data Master™ collects the data you have set pertaining to your installation requirements and captures
that data by using a standard spreadsheet software program. For installation verification for your company or
customer’s assemblies, please consider the AVK SPP2-Data Master” ™ for secure joint integrity!

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS/APPLICATION CHECKLIST
The following BEST PRACTICE information should be considered to insure proper application design
when using AVK fasteners. If you have any application questions, please contact AVK.
PARENT MATERIAL
The parent material should be dense enough to support the hole fill and clamp load applied by the AVK
fastener during installation. Its thickness should be within the grip range of the AVK fastener. Experimen-
tation is suggested to determine optimum fastener selection for plastics.
HOLE SIZE
The hole produced in the parent material should be per the AVK catalog specifications. Tolerance for
paint or coating buildup should be included to avoid an undersized hole condition. The hole should be
90° square to the parent material.
AVK PART ACCESS

The AVK fastener head should sit flat on the parent material. An obstruction to the tail of the AVK product
or to the access of the power tool can be corrected by contacting AVK for alternative fastener designs and
tooling configurations. The AVK tool should be held perpendicular to the application to avoid excess
mandrel wear.
BACKSIDE SURFACE
The backside surface of the parent material should not contain a punch slug or excessive burr that
BURR exceeds the grip range of the AVK fastener. Such large obstructions may prohibit the AVK fastener from
or
TAB installing properly.
AIR SUPPLY
AVK's Spinwall Technology™ ARO brand installation tools require a pressure range of 60-110 PSI (4,1-7,5
BARS) at 25 S.C.F.M. of volume. Hose and fitting inside diameters need to be a minimum of 5/16 (7,92). An
inline oiler and pressure regulator is required. Pressure should be measured as dynamic with the tool
running.
MATING PART HOLE SIZE/ALIGNMENT

The mating part being attached should be non-rotational and contact the head of the AVK fastener. Its
hole size should be .040 (1,0) smaller than the head diameter of the AVK fastener. The alignment of the
mating part must provide perpendicular entry of the mating fastener into the AVK fastener.
MATING FASTENER
For the A-K, A-L, A-T, A-W and A-O Series™ the mating fastener should be of a "free-spinning” design and of
the grade or class as indicated in this catalog. If a mechanical, chemical locking or prevailing torque element
is required, AVK recommends the design selection of the A-H SeriesTM in a hex punched hole. Specification
of a dog point screw will minimize cross threading and speed the assembly process in any AVK application.
Mating screws should be hand started and then power driven to minimize cross threading.
ASSEMBLY TORQUE
For appropriate assembly torques, see the suggested assembly torque data contained on page 44. AVK’s
products, when used per the data provided in this catalog, have been designed to be compatible with the
torque requirements of Grade 5 or Metric Class 8.8/9.8 screws. AVK suggests customer testing to determine
the optimum torque due to mating component fit and mating fastener lubrication/finish variations.
43
AVK TEST DATA
The test data on this page is intended to provide the designer with approximate strength values in various materials
and thicknesses. The figures shown are averages of multiple tests. AVK recommends that this data be used only as a
guide since various application factors may affect AVK product performance. We recommend testing your application
when an exact strength figure is required or the load to be applied comes close to the published data.
Unified (Inch) thread size data is provided in pounds (lbs.) for force and inch pounds (in-lbs.) for torque. Metric data is
provided in kilonewtons (kN) for force and newton meters (Nm) for torque.
