Technical info
Report
HEICO-LOCK wedge-lock washers according to DIN 25201-4 /6/ are available in various alloys depending on your application. Enlarged diameter washers are available for use on slotted holes and softer materials. Custom sizes are available upon request. Feel free to contact us for engineering support. HEICO-LOCK washers are designed with unidirectional serrations that do not score mating surfaces.
Principle of Operation
Report
HEICO-LOCK washers are a paradigm shift in locking fastener technology. Conventional fasteners often rely on the physics of friction instead tension to maintain clamp load. Hence nylon insert nuts, metal lock nuts, split lock washers, safety-wire, thread adhesives, etc. offer limited performance.
Known as "wedge-lock, " "cam-lock, " or "wedge washers, " the unique tension based design of the washer system provides superior resistance to constant vibration, high dynamic loads and thermal cycling.Bolt loosening results in both washer halves separating under the bolt head, resulting in an increase in tension and clamp load.

Junker Tests
Report
The Junker vibration test meeting DIN 65151 (Dynamic testing of the locking characteristics of fasteners under transverse loading conditions - vibration test) standards is a common and reliable method for testing and comparing the security of bolted joints. The Junker's transverse vibration-loosening test provides a simplified method for broad scale testing and inspection of the transverse vibration (loosening) properties of fasteners.
