HEICO, HLS-3/8, Heiko-Lock Wedge Lock Washers Standard Diameter, Steel, Zinc-Flake Coated
Features:
- Certified system for securing bolts, working at low and high preload levels
- Particularly suitable for dynamic loads - including when using lubricants
- Can be re-used
- Very easy to install and remove (wedge lock washers are supplied as a pre-assembled pair)
When the bolt is tightened, the external radial teeth of the HEICO-LOCK Wedge Lock System embed themselves in an interlocking fashion with the respective mating surface.
If the securing system is subject to dynamic stress, movement is only possible between the internal washer surfaces. This results in an increase in the clamping force.
In addition to HEICO-LOCK® Wedge Lock Washers made from steel [1.1191 / C45E] and stainless steel [1.4404 / 316L] we also produce products from other special materials like 254 SMO® [1.4547] and INCONEL® / Alloy 718 [2.4668]. These special materials are resistant in highly corrosive environments (i.e. seawater or acids) with a high temperature stability. This leads to a wide variety of applications, especially within the offshore industry, energy sector, chemical industry and many more.
