Laser 6869 Safety Locking Wire 0.8mm x 30m

Product Information

This marine-grade, corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel Seizing Wire is a strong and secure way to safely lock off shackles. The imperial bolt jig suits six sizes: UNC 1/4-20, UNC 5/16-18, UNF 5/16-24, UNC 3/8-16, UNF 3/8-24 and UNC 7/16-14. Locknuts such as Nyloc nuts and HARDLOCK nuts have the additional objective of preventing lost bolt tension. Wire can prevent nuts from falling off, but can not prevent fatigue failure which results when low tensioned bolts are exposed to vibration. The disadvantages are that it adds extra distance between the head of the fastener and the surface to which it is to be secured, and it is not as secure as securing the wire directly to the fastener itself as the tab could be a point of failure if it somehow unbends or the hole breaks (which is more likely than the hole in a drilled fastener failing due to the thinness and malleability of the material from which it is made).

When drilling a fastener, the choice of where to drill it depends on the type of fastener and to what it will be wired. There are also other systems of fastener retention that do not rely on safety wire at all, such as lock washers, locknuts, jam nuts, thread-locking fluid, castellated nuts and cotter pins, all of which accomplish a similar objective as safety wire, which is to prevent nuts backing off (falling off). S. is being secured, then the safety wire when installed should put tension on the bolt in a clockwise direction, since that is the direction that the bolt turns to tighten.Although many systems purport to be more efficient than installing traditional safety wire, an advantageous by-product of the twisting method of installing safety wire is that it leaves a highly visible and easily inspectable indication that the fasteners in question are in fact properly secured.

Safety wire tabs are washers that are used to secure fasteners by transferring the force of the safety wire to the head of the fastener to be secured. There is another type of basic safety wire twister which is similar to a standard screwdriver, except that the tip has a small grasping mechanism to hold the ends of the wire while the technician turns the handle to twist the wire. Since safety wire is made of a malleable alloy, it retains its shape after being bent, rather than springing back to its original shape.Trials UK are Worldwide off-road motorcycle specialists supplying the very best products from quality manufacturers around the globe. g., a production motorcycle which was built for the street but which has been converted into a race-bike). It’s especially useful for critical areas such as suspension and brakes, but it’s also very useful for securing other components, such as keeping exhaust manifold bolts, or remote oil filter mounting bolts from becoming loose. Unlike safety wire, Safe-T-Cable installations have no sharp edges, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Several companies manufacture safety cable, and it is becoming an industry standard due to easier control of critical inputs and reduced installation time.
