FS All-Steel Lock-Nut:

Competent reliability even under extreme pressure!

 

fastening problems with dynamically highly stressed threaded joints have lead to the development of the FS all-steel lock-nut. It has a flexible and completely threaded locking element which is fitted into the nut body.


As opposed to competitors' lock-nuts, the FS all-steel lock-nut can be used universally. This is due to the fact that the design combines all elements required for a safe threaded connection, such as re-usability, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, protection of the counter thread and narrow tolerance of the locking torque.


The FS all-steel lock-nut can be reused many times without significant loss of its locking capability and exceeds, after 15 times of tightening and loosening of the nuts, the values given in DIN EN ISO 2320.

 


 

BASIC ADVANTAGES

• The FS all-steel lock-nut offers double-safety. The locking element works both in radial and axial direction. Thus the locking effect remains fully operational even after repeated unfastening of the FS lock-nut.


• The FS all-steel lock-nut locking element, which is offset but otherwise conforming to standard thread sizes, prevents the counter thread from being damaged.


• Economical storage due to universal use.

 

ASSEMBLY ADVANTAGES

Cost- and space-effective automated assembly instead of castellated nuts, split pins, counter nuts, etc.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

• The clamping force Is adjustable during manufacturing within fine tolerances.

• The FS all-steel lock-nut can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C. For use within temperatures in excess of 300°C, suitable heat resistant materials are being employed depending on the application.

• High axial loads are granted as threads are manufactured to DIN EN ISO 2320 standards.

• The nut measurements meet the requirements of the standards

DIN EN ISO 7042 / DIN EN ISO 10512,
DIN 6925, DIN 980 M and DIN 6927 /
DIN EN ISO 1667 / DIN EN ISO 1664
(flange nuts).

Flaig + Hommel is recognized, worldwide, as a manufacturer of the FS-all-steel-locknuts and, since the 1950s, as a reliable and innovative partner of the automotive and rolling stock industries.

BENEFITS

• Reliable even in difficult screwed connections such as used in turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, catalysts, highly stressed gearboxes, superchargers and vibrating machine components.


• The FS all-steel lock-nut has proven itself over many years and has created a host of new possibilities to crack old problems (new solutions to old problems).


• The FS All-Steel Lock-Nut are resistant to high temperatures and corrosion due to F+H's use of modem technologies, resulting in better reliability than galvanizing. These techniques have been accomplished with out inducing hydrogen embrittlement.
