DISC-LOCK
Washer Installation Procedures
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.
