When it comes to securing critical joints in machinery or structures, traditional washers don’t always make the cut—especially under intense vibration or dynamic loads. That’s where wedge lock washers come into play, and Sachinshim is at the forefront of offering these high-performance fastening solutions.
What Are Wedge Lock Washers?
Unlike standard washers, wedge lock washers are designed to prevent bolts from loosening over time. They work on a simple but highly effective principle: using tension instead of friction. These washers come in pairs with interlocking cams on one side and radial teeth on the other. When installed correctly, the cam side faces each other and the teeth grip the mating surfaces. As the bolt is tightened, the cam angle (which is greater than the thread pitch) ensures that any loosening attempts actually increase the tension, keeping the bolt locked in place.
Why Choose Wedge Lock Washers?
In environments where reliability is non-negotiable—think wind turbines, railways, heavy machinery, or construction—wedge lock washers are a game-changer. Their self-locking action makes them ideal for situations where safety and durability matter most. They’re tested, proven, and engineered to outperform conventional washers under extreme stress and vibration.
