About Spiked Washer
The spiked washer facilitates direct soft tissue or ligament fixation to bone. Ligament staples with a low-profile bridge reduce the frequency of secondary removal due to patient discomfort caused by soft-tissue irritation.
Advanced Features
- Ensures secure and sturdy fixation
Superior Anti-Rotation ProtectionSpiked washers with customizable spike heights are specifically designed to eliminate fastener loosening caused by intense vibrations. Their spiked edges dig into contact surfaces, locking elements securely in place, making them indispensable for demanding industrial and electrical applications.
Durable Material and FinishConstructed from premium carbon steel and finished in either galvanized or plain options, these washers deliver outstanding corrosion and rust resistance. Their long shelf life and high mechanical strength ensure reliability, even in harsh operational temperatures ranging from -20C to +200C.
Versatile Industrial UtilityWhether used in heavy machinery, electrical installations, or mechanical fastenings, spiked washers provide trusted fastening solutions. Available in standard sizes, they are perfect for both new installations and replacements, with easy storage in poly bags or boxes.
FAQs of Spiked Washer:
Q: How does a spiked washer prevent nuts and bolts from loosening in heavy vibration environments?
A: A spiked washers specially designed spiked edges grip the mating surfaces of fastened parts, creating high friction and mechanical interlock. This prevents rotational movement, effectively locking nuts and bolts in place, especially in assemblies exposed to constant vibration.
Q: What are the benefits of using a galvanized or plain finish for spiked washers?
A: A galvanized finish enhances corrosion and rust resistance, ideal for humid or outdoor environments, while a plain finish can be used where corrosion risk is minimal. Both provide long-term durability and consistent performance in industrial settings.
Q: When should I choose a spiked washer with this specification for my assembly?
A: Select these spiked washers for applications requiring superior anti-loosening performance, especially in scenarios involving heavy vibrations or torque, such as electrical panels, machinery, and mechanical connections in industrial environments.
Q: Where can these spiked washers be installed?
A: These washers are suitable for use in electrical enclosures, heavy machinery, automotive assemblies, and mechanical fasteningsanywhere vibration and movement could compromise the integrity of bolted joints.
Q: What is the recommended process for installing spiked washers?
A: Place the spiked washer between the bolt head (or nut) and the mating surface. Tighten the fastener manually using appropriate torque. The spikes embed into the surface as you tighten, ensuring secure grip and anti-rotation lock.
Q: How should these washers be stored to maintain effectiveness?
A: Store spiked washers in a dry, cool place, preferably in their original poly bags or boxes, to prevent oxidation or moisture exposure, preserving their finish and mechanical properties.
Q: What makes these spiked washers especially suitable for industrial use?
A: Their high mechanical strength, customizable spike height, corrosion resistance, and ability to function over a wide temperature range make them exceptional for demanding industrial applications where vibration and high torque are common.
