The BOM® (Blind, Oversize Mechanically Locked) fasteners from Alcoa Fastening Systems are so strong, one can do the work of up to four ordinary fasteners.

You won’t find a more vibration-resistant blind fastener, or one that works harder in so many different applications. With its unique push-and-pull installation design, the BOM fastening system is tough enough for military vehicles and equipment, auto suspensions, amusement park rides, rail car assembly, and automatic storage and retrieval racks of shaft steel construction. Even the most demanding high-tensile application is no match for the strength of the BOM fastening system.

Because installing BOM fasteners is so easy, a worker can learn the installation procedure in just 10 minutes, eliminating the need to hire certified welders or specially-trained employees. And because they install from just one side, they can be used in all blind side applications.

Installations are more accurate than with other fasteners of the same kind, because the element of human error is not an issue. In other words, correct installation doesn’t depend on operator skill or specialized tools. Plus, chances are you can start using BOM fasteners immediately with your current tools, saving you more money in the long run.
