Wedge Lock Washers

The stainless steel Wedge lock washers are among the locking elements in the large family. However, Wedge lock washers were introduced into mechanical engineering companies relatively late. The triumphal march of stainless steel Wedge lock washers only began when the mechanical engineering and automotive industries had problems with loosening of screw connections. After long periods of vibration, for example on gears or engine parts or on technical machines or equipment, the screws were often unscrewed very slowly. Vibrations or fine - continuous shocks - cause screws or even nuts to loosen from the given position and then slowly unscrew from the thread until the screw or nut falls off completely and disappears. For this reason, Wedge lock washers have been developed and have slowly positioned themselves on the market and have been used in companies and in the private sector. The triumphal march had begun. The sole purpose of stainless steel Wedge lock washers is to protect screws or nuts from unintentional loosening and thus counteract vibration. There are many different types of Wedge lock washers. Depending on the intended use, single washers or double Wedge lock washers made of stainless steel or steel are used. In the last few years, double metal Wedge lock washers have become widely accepted and have become indispensable in industry and private life.

In order to give you an understanding of the locking function of the Wedge lock washers, we start with the assembly of the Wedge lock washers. The Wedge lock washers consist of two counter-rotating toothed washers which should only be used in pairs to really ensure their function. Both Wedge lock washers - each one has toothed notches - which can only be secured in one direction and can be turned in the other direction. The Wedge lock washers interlock with each other in such a way that they "bury" themselves once in the backup material, the component. This means that the Wedge lock washers press themselves with the notches into the material and the second washer presses itself against the lower head of the screw and also presses itself into the material. This means that only a further turning in the "tightening direction" is possible. Loosening the screw connection becomes more and more difficult as the closing pressure increases. In order to be able to loosen the screw connection nevertheless, the locking forces of the Wedge lock washers with the toothing must be overcome once with increased resistance. The double lock washers cannot be used again, because the locking teeth are worn out after one use and the formerly sharp edges are now round and unsafe. New Wedge lock washers must then always be used!

The production of Wedge lock washers is intrinsically simple, but many people don't know anything about it and for this reason we would like to explain this important aspect of production in more detail. In order to produce Wedge lock washers from steel or stainless steel sheet, you need steel sheets or strip steel that is wound on a reel. This is then inserted in a punching machine. A suitable punching tool must also be available. If all these points are given, the discs can be punched out of the sheet metal. At the same time, the diagonal wedge is also punched with each individual stroke and brought into the correct shape, so that a Wedge lock washers is created. All parts fall into a collecting container where they can be collected. If there are stainless steel safety washers, they can go directly to the sales department. Steel lock Wedge lock washers usually have to be nickel-plated to protect against corrosion.
