Securing & Anti-Loosening Elements: Ensuring Maximum Reliability in Safety-Critical Assemblies
In safety-critical assemblies, unintended fastener loosening is not an option. Loss of clamp force due to vibration, dynamic loads, or thermal cycling can result in severe operational failure and costly damage. At Bossard, we provide advanced self-locking and anti-loosening solutions engineered to maintain clamp force integrity - even under the most demanding conditions. Securing and anti-loosening elements are specially designed to prevent the failure of threaded connections. Through friction, mechanical locking, tension-based locking, or chemical bonding, these elements ensure long-term joint reliability across industries. How Anti-Loosening Mechanisms Work Self-locking fasteners maintain joint integrity through the following operating principles: Securing through friction - Increasing resistance between mating threads Securing through mechanical locking - Physical locking mechanisms preventing rotation Securing through tension - Utilizing preload and wedge principles to...
