For things that come lose !!

Found these lock washers ...new design to me and they could come in really handy for the problem fixings.
Link is to a US site for all you boys over the pond. See what you make of it.

I just use Stihl fasteners. Huskies pout a little bit for awhile, but they get used to it

I've seen those before.

I wonder if the picture has been 'flopped'?

Seem to remember the 'ramps' should act to increase axial pressure on turning out (R H threads).

There a new product to me un the UK that is being stocked by one of my suppliers. They look worth getting a few 6mm ones ..mild steel, stainless steel to trial.

A decent cross thread trumps all other locking device

I use a lot of nuts that are made that way they seem to stay put. You don't use lock or flat washers with them. That washer might be ok but to me the bit could still rattle loose

 

[jakethesnake]

Seems they are designed for bolts that thread into Not a nut and bolt system. I'd say to a certain degree they will work Based on the nuts I've seen made that way

 

[jakethesnake]

The nuts I keep talking about are designed for you to hold them and turn the bolt vs holding the bolt then turning the nut. The idea is so the ridges aren't grinding and take in a good bite. I feel the washer wouldn't do quite as well However I've not used one

Thats the use I was thinking of them for...Allen socket screws in particular that are not the sort used on Stihl and some other saws.

 

[jakethesnake]

It may work simondo I personally have never seen any washers that way I'd give it a go

Fastenal carries Nord-lock washers that are made that way. they work very well, and are reusable.

I've used a stack of nordlocks on larger stuff - slashers and similar 3-point linkage equipment. They are equal to a nyloc nut in my opinion and more suitable than loctite for many applications.
Haven't used them on anything under 1/2" though.

There are a lot of Industry specific products.

We got wrenches to torque to 18,000........ But SuperNuts are used for very big nuts. And hand tools will get you there.

I use a lot of nordlocks. I've seen the bolt break before it will loosen when you're taking it apart. They're great for some applications but they don't make anything under 1/2 or 3/8'', I just forget

These Heico-Lock ones start at ..6mm -1/4 in hole. They also make a captive nut/washer unit for studs Criss.

Been using smaller ones for everything for several years now ............ no problems at all, even at close to 40,000 RPM
