Mating screw applications that require secure attachments can rely on self-clinching locknuts, which self-lock threads to reduce loosening and can be removed repeatedly without affecting performance.
By Michael J. Rossi, Marketing Services Supervisor, PennEngineering
By all measures, the hardware specified to attach components is expected to perform reliably in service. But sometimes application-related factors — vibration, thermal cycling, or other disruptive forces — will place fasteners in jeopardy. Especially in the case of mating screws, such forces can loosen them and potentially result in attachment failure. How can designers prevent such problems?(…)
