Can quarter turns also carry shear load and what are the values for each?

The moment you have shear loads, then it is not advised to use the standard quarter turns
the best quarter turn that can hold a little bit of shear load is the 4002 series, as these are fitted with a grommet

Please read this blog:

if it is not a critical part, then you can go ahead with the cost-effective 4002 series, otherways, you’ll need to transition to the panel fasteners specifically developed for taking up shear strengths too

1/4 turn fasteners are used into composites, however the big issue with composite is that the thickness is not regular spread over the panel. This influences the thickness of the plate where the receptacle and stud are mounted, this means that a stud that is designed with a certain length to cope with, will not work if the panel is thicker or thinner then designed (with the 2600 series, the tolerance of thickness is max. +/-0,3mm ; but your tolerance is dependant on how thick the plates are and how close your calculation is near to this value out of the table.

 

If you have a considerable amount of shear load, please opt to use latches:

To recommend you the best latch for your application depends on different criteria:

1)      Is it vibrating, if yes: use a secondary lock

2)      In which media:               outside or corrosive = stainless as a material other ways steel zinc plated

3)      Are your panels very well aligned installed:       if not: use latches that have some tolerances: like V951L or V917L

4)      If you need a very strong tension: opt for V18L latches

5)      Select your connection method to the panels: welding or riveting and select then the appropriate model

6)      …

 

The Camloc latches can come with certs.

If you do not need certificates, then you can opt for following latches:

Another option is the vlier ball lock pin, which will take up all the shear load you need.
