QSLM Approved Fasteners

What Are QSLM Approved Fasteners?

QSLM approved fasteners are fasteners manufactured by an organization on the Defense Logistics Agency's Qualified Suppliers List for Manufacturers. The U.S. Military uses some of the most technologically advanced and important machines, many of which are aircraft, so it is important to establish a criteria to make sure these fasteners are up to standards. To fully ensure that the parts used in these aircraft are of the utmost quality with consistent manufacturing, the manufacturers must be on the pre-qualified list by the Defense Logistics Agency Qualified Suppliers List for Manufacturers, which is the QLSM approval.

In order to be on this list, you must apply. All applicants must meet certain conditions and comply with all of the established QSL criteria. The actual requirements will vary depending on the commodity being manufactured. As a manufacturer of high-strength aerospace fasteners, we work in accordance with the QSL criteria, as well as all other Fastener Quality Act regulations.

At Sesco Industries, we manufacture Class 3 Threaded Fasteners that match the QLSM approval. Class 3 threaded fasteners are tight tolerance threads that have no allowance and have very tight tolerances. These threaded fasteners are often specified for tight tolerance fastener applications in critical use situation where strength and safety are the primary concern, like it is in the aerospace industry. A Class 3 threaded fastener must be created by a manufacturer with precision machinery and that is exactly what we have at Sesco Industries.
