Lock washers: Small parts great effect
Lock washers underneath the screw head prevent the loosening or falling apart of screws and screw connections which are exposed to high loads. Ideal for achieving high-strength screw connections in agricultural engineering, mechanical engineering, the shipbuilding industry or in the energy and offshore sectors.
W.TEC®SECURING wedge lock washers for screw locking
Unlike plain washers, the W.TEC®SECURING wedge lock washers, ring lock washers and combi wedge lock washers provide you with high-quality locking systems that can reliably secure your fasteners. With the quality of our locking elements and lock nuts, we not only rely on demanding quality controls, but also subject the products to external and objective quality analyses according to prescribed testing procedures.
With us, you will always find the right product.
Every single industry requires products that are geared to very specific purposes. To support the requirements of a market holistically, we consistently analyse the current needs and future requirements of our customers.
This resulted in our W.TEC® product series with products for requirements-based solutions and industry-specific innovations. We guarantee optimal and consistent quality and first-class technical service. We can give you expert advice and best practices so that you will always find the right product, be it plastic cabs, slings, screws for thermoplastic materials or many more.
Innovative functionality
The following four factors ensure the locking function of the washers: hardness difference, difference in the angle, friction difference and preload difference.
Since the surface of the wedge lock washer or ring lock washer is harder than that of commercially available screws, the radial ribs on the outer sides of the washer are shaped into the counter material (hardness difference). When tightening the screw connection, it creates a positive connection. Due to the specific pitch angle of the wedge surfaces on the disc, it comes to a self-locking if the screw should loosen automatically (angle difference).
The wedge sections at the joint faces of the two disc halves have a significantly lower coefficient of friction than the toothed outside of the discs. As a result, an unscrewing movement always leads to movement between the two disc halves and not between disc and counter-material (friction difference). If the wedge lock washer expands by a loose rotation, this leads to elongation of the screw and thus to an increase in pretensioning (preload difference).
You will find further information in our brochure.
Individual supply solutions for locking elements
The lock washers can be used with conventional screws, i.e. you can also use W.TEC®SECURING wedge lock washers with screws from your existing stock.
We are happy to deliver the combination of screw and washer already pre-assembled reliably and safely via our integrated procurement solutions. C-Parts. With Certainty.
