Fastener Technology Corp. has been operating in the aerospace manufacturing industry for over four decades and produces a range of high-quality standoffs and inserts.

Standoffs
 Standoffs are used throughout airframe production and are essential components.  They are used to create or maintain a gap between two aircraft components. This is necessary when there is a need to reduce friction between the parts, or to increase thermal insulation, or to allow for airflow around the parts. They can also be used to enable increased precision when positioning screws or other fasteners. Standoffs can also be threaded, and therefore can be used to increase the strength or stability of an assembly.
 
Inserts
In a similar way to standoffs, inserts can be used to ensure separation of two other aircraft components. This can be to resolve issues of friction or to reduce vibrations.  Flanged inserts can be used internally to an assembly to ensure space for lubrication or airflow within the assembly.
