A Collaborative Engineering Approach with Our Customers
At Click Bond we approach customer relationships as vital partnerships.
Our in-house prototyping capabilities enable us to experiment with new ideas and collaboratively refine designs. Our manufacturing experts drive refinements in our production processes to maximize quality, increase customer value, and shorten lead times.
Click Bond field support professionals ensure that our customers receive on-site technical training focused on reinforcing reliable installation techniques. The entire Click Bond team is dedicated to partnering with our customers every step of the way, from concept to sustainment, to enhance our relationships and our customers’ competitiveness.
Adhesive-Bonded, Rivetless Nutplpates
Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded rivetless nutplates eliminate the drilling of attachment rivet holes traditionally associated with nutplate installation, preserving structural integrity and longevity, enabling weight savings, and reducing installation, rework, and repair time and cost.
All Click Bond nutplates conform to the performance requirements of NASM25027 and other high-performance OEM specifications including those requiring 50 cycle reusability with stainless steel or titanium bolts. Click Bond adhesive-bonded nutplates are FAA TSO approved, allowing direct substitution for traditional riveted nutplates.

Acres® Sleeves
Click Bond ACRES® sleeves offer an economical solution for delivering enhanced structural fatigue life and engineered repairs. Their deep-drawn method of manufacture delivers unmatched performance and precision.
These thin-wall, deep-drawn stainless steel sleeves are designed to prevent oversize hole conditions resulting from corrosion, manufacturing error, or in-service fatigue and address them when they occur.
Adhesive-Bonded Mounts
Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded mounts offer enhanced design flexibility for routing of systems and protective blankets in both new construction and retrofit applications. Bonded attachment eliminates drilling and the resulting compromises to structural integrity, cost, and restrictions arising from stress considerations.
Mounts are available with baseplates and bodies manufactured from a variety of metallic and non-metallic materials. The thermoplastic saddles of cable-tie mounts are available in swivel and fixed options with some models offering a latching hasp. Nutplate mounts allow retention of tubing and wire bundles with clamps.
Adhesive-Bonded Bushings
Click Bond adhesive-bonded bushings enable construction using lightweight structures manufactured from composite sandwich structures with crush-sensitive or low strength core materials such as honeycomb or foam. They provide localized reinforcement and strongpoints for threaded attachment.
Bushings also enhance the performance of thin metallic structure, providing localized reinforcement without welding. Additionally, they replace potted inserts, simplifying installation, reducing weight, and delivering installed cost savings
Click Bond bushings are offered in several configurations including locking, non-locking, blind, through-hole, countersunk, 1-piece, 2-piece, and threaded varieties. A range of flange diameters and grip lengths are available as are both Imperial and metric thread sizes.
These are just a few of the hundreds of Click Bond fastening solutions, which have been specifically engineered for Unmanned Vehicles.
