What distinguishes Camloc high-stress panel fasteners from screws?

Camloc high-stress panel fasteners are specifically designed with unique features that enhance their functionality and ease of use in high-stress applications. The defining characteristic that sets them apart from traditional screws is the deep No. 2 Phillips recess in the stud head and the corresponding bushing into which the stud is installed. This design allows for quick engagement and disengagement, facilitating easier panel access while providing a secure fastening solution.

The deep recess not only accommodates a more substantial turning force without stripping but also helps guide the fastener into the bushing accurately, ensuring proper alignment and fit. This specialized design makes Camloc fasteners particularly advantageous in aviation and other demanding environments where reliability and quick access are critical.

While other options such as thread type differences, material composition, and size and weight may play a role in differentiating fasteners in general, the specific mechanics of the deep recess and bushing setup are what uniquely characterize Camloc fasteners in comparison to conventional screws.
