| DISC-LOCK Standard Washer |
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
- To install the DISC-LOCK Washer, simply mate the cams together and place between the nut and the joint material
- As the nut is tightened, one half of the DISC-LOCK Washer is seated to joint material and the other to the nut.
- When the bolt elongates due to vibration and shock, the nut will attempt to rotate loose. As one half of the DISC-LOCK Washer tries to rotate with the nut, the interlocking cams work against each other. This will increase the preload, further locking the assembly.
- As the bolt contracts, the inclined planes of the cams cause the nut to rotate back to its original position.
- In common with most fastening devices, DISC-LOCK Washers should only be used against flat, relatively smooth metal surfaces.
- If the joint material is not metal, the DISC-LOCK Washer may be used by securing a metal plate to the joint material in such a manner that the metal plate will not rotate.
- As with all fasteners, DISC-LOCK Washers should be re-examined before re-using.
