Objective To understand how self-locking fasteners work, what they are used for and where to find them.
Self-Locking Threaded Fasteners Outline • Conventional Nut vs Self-Locking Threaded Fasteners Comparison • Advantages • Applications • Vendors and Where to Find Them
Standard Nut vs Self Locking Threaded Fastener Comparison: • Standard Nuts • Self Locking Threaded Fasteners
Standard Nuts • Standard Nuts: • Relies on friction • between the nut surfaces.
Vibration Thermal Effects Fatigue Stress Distribution Strain Deformation Insufficient Tightening Torque Frequent Servicing/High Use Problems with Standard Nuts Accidental Disassembly Due to:
What are self-locking fasteners? Self Locking Threaded FastenersPrevent Accidental Disassembly by: • Preventing Fatigue • Resisting Vibration • Reducing Stress Concentration
Types of Self-Locking Fasteners • Mechanical • Increase contact friction • Increase interference fit • Compression • Modified threads • Chemical • Anaerobic
Why do self-locking work? Example : Stress Distribution
Where Are They Found and Who Sells Them? ANY HARDWARE STORE Stores selling over the WWW
