I n t r i n s i c D e v i c e s I n c o r p o r a t e d Intrinsic Devices specializes in the manufacture of nickel-titanium shape memory alloy products used for fastening, sealing and electrical interconnection. We produce a family of standard heat shrinkable metal rings under the name UniLok. Other...

I n t r i n s i c D e v i c e s I n c o r p o r a t e d UniLok a Revolution in Fastening, Sealing and Electrical Interconnection The threaded fastener has been a boon to engineering, allowing the application of axial loads to join a wide variety of components. Inventors have struggled to come up wit...

I n t r i n s i c D e v i c e s I n c o r p o r a t e d Active Fasteners In most cases our products are used as permanent or semi-permanent fasteners. The alloy is chosen such that the fastener will exert clamping force over the entire ambient temperature range the assembly will experience. For disa...

I n t r i n s i c D e v i c e s I n c o r p o r a t e d Use of Shape Memory Alloys in High Reliability Fastening Applications In 1962 the shape memory effect is discovered in NiTi alloys by the U.S. Naval Ordnance Lab. The nominally equiatomic NiTi alloy was dubbed "Nitinol" for Nickel Titanium Nava...

I n t r i n s i c D e v i c e s I n c o r p o r a t e d Shape Memory Technology Intrinsic makes its products from proprietary nickel-titanium alloys that have a property called shape memory. These alloys undergo a transformation from one crystal phase to another over a particular temperature range. ...
