Internal-tooth Lock Washer

The internal-tooth lock washer is a commonly used mechanical locking element. The following is the relevant introduction to the internal-tooth lock washer:

Structural Features of the Internal-tooth Lock Washer

Shape: It is usually a circular thin sheet. The inner diameter is adapted to the diameter of the bolt or shaft, and the outer diameter varies according to the usage scenarios and bolt specifications.

Tooth Shape: There is a circle of evenly distributed serrated protrusions on the inner circumference of the washer. These teeth can be embedded into the surface of the connected part to form a reliable locking structure.

Material: It is generally made of high-quality spring steel, such as 65Mn, etc. It has high elasticity and strength and can maintain good locking performance under certain pressure and tensile force.

Performance Advantages of the Internal-tooth Lock Washer

Good Anti-loosening Effect: Through the engagement of the serrations with the surface of the connected part, the internal-tooth lock washer can effectively prevent the nut or bolt from loosening under external forces such as vibration and impact, providing a reliable locking function.

Convenient Installation: Just place it between the nut or bolt head and the connected part, and then tighten the nut or bolt. No additional installation tools or complex installation processes are required.

Strong Adaptability: According to different bolt specifications and usage requirements, internal-tooth lock washers of different sizes and tooth shapes can be selected. It is suitable for various types of mechanical connections, including connections between different materials such as metal and metal, and metal and plastic.

Application Fields of the Internal-tooth Lock Washer

Automobile Manufacturing: It is widely used in the bolt connections of parts such as automobile engines, chassis, and bodies. For example, in the assembly of engine cylinder blocks, the connection of the chassis suspension system, and the fixing of body structural parts, etc., it can ensure that the connections of various parts are firm and reliable during the driving process of the automobile and prevent loosening caused by vibration.

Mechanical Manufacturing: Internal-tooth lock washers are often used in the assembly and maintenance of various mechanical equipment, such as the connection of components of machine tools, printing machines, textile machines, etc. It helps to improve the stability and reliability of the equipment and reduce equipment failures and maintenance costs caused by loose connections.

Electronic Equipment: In the production of electronic equipment, it is used in the bolt connections for fixing components such as circuit boards and casings. It can not only ensure the tightness of the connection but also meet the requirements of electronic equipment for miniaturization and high precision. At the same time, it can also prevent the connection from loosening due to the vibration of the equipment, which may affect the normal operation of the electronic equipment.

Construction Engineering: It is also applied in the connection of steel structures of building structures, pipeline installation, and the fixing of some construction equipment. For example, in the connection of steel beams and steel columns in steel structure buildings, and the fixing of pipelines in the building pipeline system, etc., it can enhance the reliability of the connection and improve the safety and stability of the building structure.
