Name: Click Bond adhesive-bonded studs, standoffs and nutplates
Brand: Click Bond

Bonded (no hole), adhesive-bonded fastener: “Click Bond’s bonded studs and standoffs provide the designer with new options for attachment of systems and modular components to structure, without drilling.” (Click Bond Product Guide, p.9, Studs & Standoffs)

Shear: No ksi rating (loads per datasheet)
Blind bulb: n/a
Install: One-side install
Sizes: Studs and standoffs: fine .1120-40 to .5000-20, coarse .190-24 to .750-10, MJ3 to M16; nutplates "from 04-40 to 1/2-20 and from M3 to M10" (Product Guide p.3, p.11)
Lead-time risk (SpecLok assessment): Medium

Typical applications

·"Click Bond’s bonded studs and standoffs provide the designer with new options for attachment of systems and modular components to structure, without drilling." (Product Guide p.9)
·Nutplates: "simplify the closeout process for structural areas with no backside access, including attachment of removable skins and access panels" (Product Guide p.3)

Strengths

+No hole for studs and standoffs: "Surface Mounts Go from one hole to none." (Click Bond Overview p.6)
+"Click Bond adhesive-bonded nutplates are FAA TSO approved, allowing direct substitution for traditional riveted nutplates." (Product Guide p.2; TSO-C148 letters for CB6009, CB6010, CB6014, CB2009)
+Nutplates: "All Click Bond nutplates conform to the performance requirements of NASM25027" (Product Guide p.2)

Trade-offs

−No push-off, torque-out or tensile values for the aerospace studs, standoffs or nutplates are published in the free documents
−Proprietary adhesive and fixture system; cure to handling strength from 15 minutes to 24 hours by adhesive (CBPS-206 Table IV)
−Removal: CBPS-206 §2.9.1 says "Refer to CBPS-207", which is not published on clickbond.com
−Nutplates still need the one fastener hole

Derived ksi values are min shear ÷ nominal shank area, computed from the datasheet's lbf/kN figures; the datasheet itself publishes no ksi.

Installation verification and preload

Installed preload

Not applicable: a bonded fastener has no preload. No bond loads are published in the free documents.

What to check after install

Surface prep: "Abrade composite materials with 120-180 grit aluminum oxide abrasive paper to remove surface gloss, mold release and resin high spots. CAUTION - Do not abrade into the fiber reinforcement." (CBPS-206 §2.4.2)
Cure: handling strength ("CURE EXCEEDS 75% OF ULTIMATE STRENGTH") e.g. CB200-40 30 MINS, CB420-50E 15-18 MINS, CB394-43 24 HOURS; full cure CB200-40 24 HOURS, CB394-43 3-5 DAYS, at 75°F (CBPS-206 §2.7, Tables IV and V)
"All exposed edges of bonded parts shall show a continuous adhesive bead squeeze out along the joined surfaces." (CBPS-206 §3.1.3)
"Excess adhesive squeezed out of the joint shall be tested with a fingernail for cure. The adhesive shall feel tough and offer resistance to penetration and shall not be tacky." (CBPS-206 §3.1.4)

Inspection: "All exposed edges of bonded parts shall show a continuous adhesive bead squeeze out along the joined surfaces." (CBPS-206 §3.1.3); see verification below.

"Press down on the inner body of the fixture to actuate. Do not press on the protruding fastener. The over-center action of the fixture squeezes out the adhesive and holds the fastener in place while the adhesive cures." (CBPS-206 Rev. 7 §2.6.1.6). Nutplates: "Disposable installation fixtures are included with every nutplate." (Product Guide p.2)
