Guide rail and sheave bolts, lock bar, hinge and coupling pins, foundation bolts and seawater-alloy studs and nuts, made in Houston to your drawings and specifications.
A generic aircraft carrier, about 300 m long, drawn as an outline round the bolted equipment that is particular to this kind of ship. The view closes on one area at a time: the deck-edge aircraft elevator, where the lock bars draw back, the platform lowers, and the rope sockets, hoist sheaves and guide rails come off; the arresting gear, from the cross-deck pendant's coupling down through the deck sheave to the sheave damper and engine below; the blast deflector panels and the flush tie-down fittings on the flight deck; the sliding hangar door and its tracks; the anchor windlass and chain stopper on the forecastle; and a sea chest strainer plate and hull valve below the waterline. In every joint the nuts, screws or pins come off before it opens. The fasteners we make are in colour. Press Solid view for a steel model.
Clevis pins linking each lock bar to its actuator, and each actuator to its bracket in the deck edge. The bars hold the platform level with the flight deck.
One pin through the jaws of each rope socket and the lug on the platform's lifting beam.
Studs and nuts holding the caps on the split bearing blocks of each hoist sheave, and holding the blocks to their shelf at the hull side.
Pairs of bolts through the base flange of each vertical guide rail into its seating on the hull side.
The pin through the coupling at each end of a cross-deck pendant, joining its terminal to the purchase cable.
Studs and nuts holding the deck sheave housing to its seating in the deck, and the sheave damper's base to its seating below.
Anchor bolts through the feet of the engine's skid into its seating below the flight deck.
Two pins along the forward edge of each deflector panel, through the panel's hinge lugs and the lugs on the deck.
Four bolts holding each panel actuator's bracket to the floor of the pit under the panel.
A ring of six bolts holding each bolted flush tie-down fitting to its insert in the deck.
Bolts along the overhead track the sliding hangar door hangs from, and along the guide rail on the deck beneath it.
A ring of studs and nuts holding the anchor windlass's base flange to its seating on the forecastle.
The hinge pin and the locking pin of the bar that holds the anchor chain in the stopper.
Bolts round the slotted plate over the sea chest opening in the hull. Monel K-500 or nickel-aluminum bronze is typical for seawater-wetted fasteners like these (ASTM F468, QQ-N-286).
Twelve 7/8 in. studs on a 17 in. bolt circle in each flanged joint of the hull valve (ASME B16.5 Class 150 drilling, NPS 12), each with two nuts, typically in the same seawater alloys.

The ship is an outline, and every shape is drawn to illustrative typical proportions. Only the hull valve flanges and their studs follow a standard (ASME B16.5 Class 150, NPS 12); the anchor chain follows ISO 1704 link proportions. Every other fastener count, size and material is typical. Your drawings and specifications govern. We manufacture to your drawings and specifications.
The hull valve flanges and their studs are drawn to ASME B16.5 Class 150, and the anchor chain to the stud-link proportions of ISO 1704; materials named for seawater service are those listed in ASTM F468 and QQ-N-286. Everything else is drawn to typical proportions.
