From a variety of sizes for traditional tube nuts and banjo bolts, to the improvements offered by FLOGRUV®, Acument Global Technologies has your fluid handling needs covered. There is also the new Revel™ sealing fastener that will seal (with optional electrical grounding), without additional thread or underhead sealants.
Fluid Fasteners
FLOGRUV®
BOLTS FOR FLUID TRANSFER APPLICATIONS
FLOGRUV® bolts are engineered to effectively transfer fluid and securely connect components in high-pressure hydraulic systems. FLOGRUV® bolts feature helical surface grooves that direct fluid while reducing the risk for trapping contaminants. Acument’s design and forming process incorporates the helical channel, thereby eliminating issues commonly found in drilled banjo bolts. These external channels are visible for direct inspection, simplifying the quality process. Hydraulic circuits utilizing FLOGRUV® bolts benefit from consistent fluid transfer.
FEATURES
► Helical grooves for fluid flow
► Tensile strength and fluid transfer performance comparable to traditional banjo bolts
► A wide variety of sizes, styles, finishes, and materials are available
BENEFITS
► Improved part cleanliness
► No internal passages which can become clogged with coating or debris
► No hidden burrs which can dislodge and cause system failures
► Fewer manufacturing steps allow shorter lead times
Banjo Bolts
Banjo bolts transfer fluid and securely connect components in high-pressure hydraulic systems. They consist of a drilled center hole and cross-drilled hole(s) at the proper location to correctly align with corresponding fittings.
FEATURES
► Drilled holes for fluid flow
► A wide variety of sizes, styles, finishes, and materials are available
BENEFITS
► Effectively transfers fluid through fittings in hydraulic systems
► No need for other complicated solutions
Tube Nuts
TUBE NUTS – FASTENERS FOR FLUID HANDLING
Acument tube nuts are compression fittings specially designed and manufactured for pressure resistant, leak-tight seals. Acument employs enhanced manufacturing techniques in addition to ISO 14001 / TS 16949 to protect threads from nicks and to keep features in check. Acument Global Technologies is capable of manufacturing tube nuts in a variety of sizes to meet your specific application needs.
FEATURES
► Innovative product handling to minimize thread nicks commonly seen in standard production processes
► Unique rolling and soft-packaging processes minimize thread nicks
► Multiple size options for various uses and applications. Custom size options available for special needs
► Multiple plating options available
► MAThread® style available to allow easier thread engagement
► High-quality ISO 14001 / TS 16949 certified production manufacturing processes
BENEFITS
► Used to seal brake, fuel, transmission and HVAC lines
REVEL™
REVEL™ STUD
REVEL™ is a revolutionary sealing stud designed for use with
plain or coated soft metal (HRB 80 or less). Its unique dual-
sealing ring design provides a robust sealing solution without
the need for secondary sealing washers or chemical sealants.
An optional grounding ring that penetrates coatings to provide a
secure ground is also available.
FEATURES
► Dual-sealing rings designed for painted or unpainted surfaces, mild steel, or aluminum
► Optional grounding ring that penetrates coatings.
► Available in two standard flange/head diameters based on ISO 15071:2011 and DIN 1665. Other diameters available upon request.
BENEFITS
► Seals against fluids without the need for expensive chemical sealants or sealing washers resulting in a lower overall cost
► Sealing features are cold-formed in a die for consistent performance.
► Fast and easy installation— no significant installation changes required.
► Less damage to the clamped component compared to a standard flange bolt.
► The optional grounding ring is designed to minimize debris generation and generated debris is trapped by the sealing rings which results in minimal loose debris at installation.
