What is a safety screw?
Safety screw is an industrial standard fastening element that uses a tight blocking wire system to prevent unintentional release due to vibration and impact forces. It has one hole drilled to accept the safety wire locking. The locking wire system also serves as a visual inspection aid to verify that the fasteners are properly tightened. The safety screw is commonly used in applications that place extreme mechanical requirements for machinery such as air and motor sports.
Fastening elements used in machines exposed to extreme structural voltage during regular operation are susceptible to the free functioning of time due to continuous impact, vibration and torque distortion. The failure of the critical fasteners in these highly stress applications could have serious consequences. The use of the safety screw system is a particularly simple and effective way to prevent this. This system isCheap, fast and easy to use and provides both additional security levels and cluster visual indication of the integrity of the connector.
The safety screws have a small hole drilled over their heads, which allows it to pass through the wire, and the adjacent connecting head or other anchor point then twisted to maintain the voltage on both. The wire is inserted in such a way as to maintain the voltage in the tightening of the screw, thus preventing its free vibration. The wire is a slight material that holds the shape as soon as it stretches and continues to keep the locking action until it is removed.
This loop to lock the wire also allows everyone to find out installation at first glance to see if the fasteners are still safe. Applications such as aircraft and car plants are the use of safety screws often legislative safety requirement and standard controllerh lists before use. The same principle of locking is also used to secure the cleans for pilgrimages and other applications where the loss of the connecting connector could lead to damage or damage. The simplicity of the safety screw system also makes it a particularly cost -effective method of locking the fasteners, which is an attractive option with regard to the costs of systems that usually protect.
Safety wire is available in a wide range of different meters and materials and requires only one simple tool. The most commonly used measurement and material is a stainless steel wire of 0.032 inches (0.8 mm) and the tool used for wire voltage is a simple, purpose -built device that resembles a conventional screwdriver. Safety wire cards are also commonly used to increase the efficiency of the safety screw system. These cards resemble a standard card pad, one card is longer than the other with opening at the end. The screw is tightened above the washing machine in a normal way and the backup cards withThey bend to contact the screw head and then locked in place with security times.
