Advantage
No risk of foreign objects
If not handled properly, the risk of foreign objects can be serious.Using KATO® Kato tailless sheath can perfectly avoid this risk.There is no need to remove the tail, so there is no need to worry about the tail being left in critical equipment.
Save time and labor costs
The unique two-way design saves positioning hours during installation, making it faster and easier in high-intensity installation operations; the tailless design also saves manual inspection and tail removal processes, further improving installation efficiency.
Flexible design
The elastic design of KATO® diamond wire allows the sheath to engage better with the bottom hole threads and better tighten the installation of male fasteners; each circle is independently adjusted to maximize surface contact to ensure even load distribution.
Industry recognition
KATO® jackets are trusted by the world's largest aerospace companies and have been used for many years in cockpit instrumentation, engines and power units, interiors, fuselages, wings, brakes and pumps.
