FLANGE
TRI-LOC™
Triple Prevailing-Torque Locknut
The FLANGE TRI-LOC™ is an all-metal fastener designed to provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection across various applications. This locknut features three locking elements that deflect the threads in the top of the nut, ensuring optimal locking strength.
The FLANGE TRI-LOC™ locknut is engineered to maintain joint integrity under conditions involving continuous heavy vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, and numerous loading cycles. The prevailing-torque mechanism ensures that the nut remains securely fastened without the need for additional locking devices, making it crucial in applications where consistent clamping force is essential for safety and performance.
Application
The FLANGE TRI-LOC™ locknut is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Automotive Industry: Securing components subject to constant vibration and dynamic loads.
- Machinery and Equipment: Maintaining the integrity of assemblies in industrial machines operating under harsh conditions.
- Construction: Providing reliable fastening solutions in structures exposed to dynamic forces and environmental stressors.
