Fastener Components: MacLite³

MacLite³ Key Details

MacLite³ is a lightweight fastener design. MacLite³ was born out of the need to error-proof an application for a customer, and in doing so we were able to reduce mass of the part by up to 18% with our unique three-sided design. Although MacLite³ features a trilateral design, the ingenious fastener needs no special tooling. All versions work seamlessly with standard hex and six-lobe sockets to drive and loosen.

MacLite³ benefits include:

• Reduction of mass up to 18%
• Estimated savings of 2.5 lbs for an SUV or Truck if all nuts are changed to MacLite³
• Performance data equal to that of a hex flange nut
• Part can be locked by adding a prevailing torque feature
• Uses standard hex or six-lobe sockets to drive and loosen

MacLite³ is also available in a Stainless-Steel Capped Wheel Fastener design with OEM quality approved for appearance and durability.
