Overview
- The Medium Split Lock Washer from BoltCraft is a versatile and essential component for achieving secure bolted connections. Its split design creates a spring-like effect when tightened, applying continuous pressure between the bolt and mating surface, which significantly enhances the assembly’s resistance to loosening.
Applications & Advantages
- Ideal for general-purpose applications across automotive, construction, and machinery where a secure hold is necessary.
- The zinc coating provides a protective layer against corrosion, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor environments.
- Works effectively to maintain bolt tension and load distribution, reducing the risk of bolt loosening under dynamic loads or vibrations.
Material & Specifications
- Made from high-quality steel, ensuring strength and durability for reliable performance in various applications.
- The zinc plating not only enhances the washer’s corrosion resistance but also improves its aesthetic appeal, contributing to a cleaner and more consistent finish in assembled products.
Reliability & Performance
- Engineered to provide a high degree of locking security, reducing the need for frequent retightening and maintenance.
- The split design compensates for diameter expansion and contraction, adapting to changes in temperature and load, ensuring a tight fit over time.
Testing & Compliance
- Each washer undergoes rigorous testing, including a twist test to ensure flexibility and durability without compromising its locking capabilities.
- Complies with industry standards for mechanical properties and coating thickness, ensuring a high-quality product suitable for a wide range of applications.
