What are anti-loosening screws? What is their function?
Anti-loosening screws are screws that prevent loosening. Let's take a look at how screws achieve this anti-loosening effect.
Adhesive anti-loosening primarily uses specially processed engineering plastics on the screw threads. This allows the screw and nut, during the tightening process, to generate a small frictional torque and counteracting force due to the compression of the engineering plastic. This creates full-tooth engagement, providing relative resistance to vibration and turning ordinary screws into strong anti-loosening screws. This effectively solves the problem of screw and nut loosening.
Sometimes, after a screw thread is tightly fastened to a workpiece, if the workpiece is frequently subjected to vibration, operation, and impact, it can easily cause the locking force between the screw thread and the workpiece to disappear, resulting in the risk of screw loosening. This can easily lead to safety accidents. Therefore, anti-loosening screws play an important role in industrial construction.
Anti-loosening screws are mainly used in the following aspects:
Anti-loosening treatment for extremely small screws used in cameras, glasses, watches, and electronics.
Anti-loosening treatment for ordinary screws used in televisions, electrical products, musical instruments, and furniture.
Anti-loosening treatment for large screws and nuts used in outdoor facilities such as engineering, construction, bridges, and amusement park equipment.
And anti-theft and anti-loosening screws for vehicles such as airplanes, cars, electric vehicles, and bicycles.
