Što su sigurnosne matice?
For example, when we consider the assembly of things together we mostly prefer screws with threads. The threads are the spiral lines that tie around the screw and bind it tightly together with another piece such as a nut. Only, occasionally, if the screws and nuts are used often, they could wear down for his or her thread or come apart. And this is exactly where Žlijeb and locknuts can be very useful!
Why Locknuts Are Important?
But first, how serious can be a thing about locknuts? Yes, as this type of screw is under great pressure / weight it can break off the threads. This phenomenon is known as thread shear, and it can lead to significant problems and destruction. Picture that you are constructing a tree house and the bolts keeping it held together snap from thread shear. That could result in the entire treehouse crashing down! It sounds scary, right?
Why Use Locknuts For Strengthening Connections?
Locknuts not only stop threads from being sheared off. They can even secure the connection more tightly! During self locking hexagon nut and locknut tightening, the excess nominal pressure developed by ring inner shoulder against fit-contact area along threads also enables secure contact under uniform lug loads. This increases the tensile strength of piece that are being connected and also the overall strength and durability of connection.
Locknuts Keep Threads Healthy
To this point, we have discussed the distribution of loads through locknuts, how they prevent thread shear and what enhances their strength. However, what you may not be aware of is that locknuts can also prevent the threads of the screw from wearing out. However, when a threaded connection is made and broken several times, the threads can rub on each other and wear or even break them in the long run. However, with a locknut you have an even load distribution, and as such less rubbing and reduced wear.
Why You Should Use Locknuts?
In summary, locknuts bring great value to any threaded connections. They also ensure proper load distribution, prevent thread from shear, increase joint strength and help maintain the health/strength of the threads. The use of locknuts will always be a wise idea whether driving up rocket ship, treehouse or just to tighten it screw.
No matter the project, we know an essential aspect is a strong connection and reliability that JQS understands. And that is why we have high quality pocinčane matice and locknuts designed to complement our screws and fasteners. Whether it be for small home renovations or larger construction tasks, JQS locknuts will help you reinforce your connections. So next time you have a project, remember to think about just how simple yet effective locknuts can be!
