Chisel Staking
Assembly
American Precision Assembly provides precision chisel staking services for aerospace and precision mechanical assemblies where localized mechanical retention is required.
Chisel staking creates small deformation points in the surrounding material using a chisel-shaped tool to secure installed components.
What is Chisel Staking?
Chisel staking is a mechanical retention method that uses a chisel-shaped tool to displace material against a component.
This creates retention points that prevent movement of the installed component during operation.
- Simple and reliable retention
- Minimal structural impact
- Controlled deformation points
