Several Ways Of Preventing Nuts From Loosening

For the fastening way of fasteners, the nut loosening problem has been the most concerned topic. Xinchi fastener Company summarizes years of experience and lists some ways to prevent the nut from tightening and loosening, to see if you have seen it.

The first way: add a flat washer to prevent loose.

Washer refers to the part between the connecting piece and the nut. The washer is usually a flat metal ring used to protect the surface of the connected part from nut abrasion and to disperse the pressure of the nut on the connected part.

The second way: add a flat and a spring washer to prevent loose.

Spring washers are widely used in load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures of general mechanical products. Spring washer is characterized by low cost, easy installation, and suitable for frequent installation and disassembly of parts. But the spring washer’s anti-loosening ability is very low.

The third way: use a nut with a brake to prevent loosening.

General nuts will come loose during use due to vibration and other reasons, such as vibration. To prevent this phenomenon, self-locking nuts were invented. The self-locking nut function is mainly anti – loose, and anti-vibration.

Nut with brake can be used for special occasions. Its working principle is to achieve self-locking by friction. According to the functional classification, the types of self-locking nuts are embedded nylon rings, neck closures, and metal locking devices. All of them are effective torque-type lock nuts. Self-locking nuts are difficult to screw due to their nature.

The fourth way: add liquid fixative for screws and nuts.

Apply the liquid fixative for screws and nuts to the place where the bolt is tightened, and then screw on the nut to achieve the effect of anti-loosening.

The fifth way: use double nuts (left and right) to prevent loosening.

It is also a good way to tighten and prevent loosening by matching a left nut with a right nut.

The sixth way: drill a hole in the screw and nut and put a split pin.

In machinery, pins are used primarily for assembly positioning. They can also be used to connect and loosen overloading shear connections in safety devices. The types of pins are cylindrical pins, taper pins, perforated pins, cotter pins, safety pins, etc.
