Saturn Fasteners Inc

Saturn Fasteners makes aerospace fasteners and machine parts. It is a privately owned US company, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Its contact page lists an address in Burbank. The company was established in 1989.

Saturn Fasteners has spent more than 37 years building a record of awards and recognition. It is now part of Poggipolini S.p.A. of Italy, a group that works in precision manufacturing and machining for aerospace, automotive and motorsports.

The company mainly makes externally threaded fasteners. These include bolts, screws, studs, taper pins and clevis pins made to AN, NA, NAS, MS, AS and NASM standards. It also makes special fasteners to customer drawings. Its products serve commercial, military, defense and space uses.

Size range is wide. Inch and metric fasteners are made from 4-40 up to 3/4 inch diameter by cold heading. Hot headed parts go up to 1 1/4 inch diameter. Materials include alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, brass and aluminum. Other materials are available for special needs. The company also offers the TORX PLUS drive system.

A featured product is the positioning pad. It is a two-piece ball joint that keeps in-flight ordnance mounts in precise axial alignment. It allows at least 40 degrees of axial motion and is made of silver plated 4140 steel. Stud diameters are 3/8 or 1/2 inch, pad diameters are 1 or 2 inches, and lengths run from 2.5 to 3.8 inches.

Saturn says it keeps all processes in house to make production leaner and faster. These include hot forging from solid bar in titanium and special steel alloys, CNC machining, hot and cold thread rolling, and heat treatment for small and large lots. Certified special processes include dye penetrant and magnetic inspection, and galvanic processes for any material.
