Claw-tooth fasteners

Claw-tooth fastenersBryce Fastener’s Raptor Claw-tooth fasteners are the most secure fasteners, providing “lock” security and not just vandal resistance. Lock security is proven by KeyRex feedback, which shows no reported security breaches in the last two million fasteners. Radial claws allow the center head to flex downward with torque, while the teeth configurations permit higher torque and the oversized head spreads the compressive load better. Under torque, the bolt stretches longitudinally and flexes down horizontally (you can feel it), and the bigger head spreads the load. Together, clamp loads and maximum torque go up 30%, making the joint stronger and more resilient. Unlike normal serrations, Raptor Claws were specifically engineered to be placed only on the outside edge with a radius that would bite—this allows the screw head to flex downward and bite in at the same time, which is proven by the higher torque values reached.
