Lock nuts are widely used in daily life and have the function of locking and fixing. After tightening the lock nut unless it is broken, it usually will not loosen on its own. The following is an introduction to how the locking nut is locked, and how to properly assemble the locking nut.
Locking nut locking principle.
Lock nuts are generally locked by friction, mainly to prevent loosening and vibration. Lock nuts by function of the type of classification are embedded nylon ring, closing, plus metal anti-loosening device. They all belong to the effective torque type lock nut. The principle is to press into the pre-set hole of the sheet metal through the embossed teeth, and the general square pre-set hole is slightly smaller than the diameter of the riveted nut. Using the nut and locking mechanism connected, when tightening the nut, the locking mechanism locks the ruler body, the ruler frame can not move freely to achieve the purpose of locking; when loosening the nut, the locking mechanism disengages the ruler body, the ruler frame moves along the ruler body.
There are several types of lock nuts as follows.
High-strength lock nuts: a type of self-locking nuts with high strength and high stability.
Nylon lock nut: nylon self-locking nut is a new type of high seismic fastening tightening parts.
Swimming lock nut: two-ear sealing swing self-locking nut consists of sealing cover, self-locking nut, pressure ring, sealing ring 4 parts.
Spring clip lock nut: spring clip lock nut, which is composed of S-type spring clip and lock nut.
To install the locknut (using the nylon locknut as an example) you must be equipped with the following items: nylon locknut, flat washer, and 2 sets of wrenches. First install the correct size stainless steel screws or double-headed bolts with washers on the threaded end. Remove and replace the nut or screw on the screw by hand until it encounters frictional resistance prompting the nylon to be inserted. Firmly twist the lock nut, we use a wrench, replace the original nut, turning clockwise. If the head of the bolt can be tightened, use the second wrench to tighten it as well, and at the same time tighten the nut.
