housing containing a spring and a stud with a steel pin.

This assembly is held onto the removable portion of the cowling or

access door with a metal grommet. The stud fits into a pressed steel receptacle which is riveted to the structure of the aircraft,
and a quarter of a turn locks the steel pin in a groove in the bottom of the receptacle.

Camloc fasteners are made in a variety of styles and designs. Included among the most commonly used are the 2600, 2700,
40S51, and 4002 series in the regular line, and the stressed panel fastener in the heavy duty line. The latter is used in stressed
panels which carry structural loads. A quarter turn (clockwise) of the stud locks the fastener. The fastener can be unlocked only
by turning the stud counter-clockwise

d. Airlock

An Airloc fastener consists of a steel stud and cross-pin in a removable cowling or door and a sheet spring-steel receptacle in the
stationary member. The studs are manufactured from steel and case hardened to prevent excessive wear. The stud hole is
reamed for a press fit of the cross pin. The total amount of material thickness to be secured with the Airloc fastener must be
known before the correct length of stud can be selected for installation. The total thickness of material that each stud will
satisfactorily lock together is stamped on the head of the stud in thousandths of an inch (0.040, 0.070, 0.190, and so forth).
Studs are manufactured in three head styles: flush, oval, and wing. The cross pin is manufactured from chrome-vanadium steel
and heat treated to provide maximum strength, wear, and holding power. It should never be used the second time; once
removed from the stud, replace it with a new pin.

Receptacles for Airloc fasteners are manufactured in two types: rigid and floating. Sizes are classified by number: No. 2, No. 5,
and No. 7. They are also classified by the center to center distance between the rivet holes of the receptacle: No. 2 is inch; No.
5 is 1 inch; and No. 7 is 1 38 inch. Receptacles are fabricated from high-carbon, heat-treated steel.

An upper wing assures ejection of the stud when unlocked and enables the cross pin to be held in a locked position between the
upper wing, cam, stop, and wing detent, regardless of the tension to which the receptacle is subjected.

To lock this type of fastener, the stud slips into the receptacle and is rotated a quarter of a turn. The pin drops into an
indentation in the receptacle spring and holds the fastener locked.

5.12.1 Outline the construction, applications, installation procedures and precautions relating to the following classifications of
cable:

a. Nonflexible

In areas where a linkage does not pass over any pulleys non-flexible cable can be used. It is available in either a 1 x 7 or 1 x 19
configuration. The 1 x 7 cable is made up of one strand comprised of seven individual wires, whereas the 1 x 19 consists of one
strand made up of 1 x 19 individual wires. Nonflexible cable is available in both galvanised carbon steel and stainless steel.

b. Flexible

Made up of seven strands of seven wires each is called 7 x 7 or flexible cable, and is available in 1/16 and 3/32 inch sizes in both
galvanised carbon steel and stainless steel.
