| | .jpg) | Twisted Tooth Lock Washers
ITW Shakeproof is the largest, most diverse and uniquely tooled producer of tooth lockwashers in the world. These time proven washers are the finest anti-vibration, anti-loosening mechanical fastening devices available. Available in wide range of sizes to fit all standard screw diameters, economical tooth washers stand up to high torques and heavy loads.
The twisted teeth compress as torque is applied when fastening. A strong spring reaction is set up as the teeth seek to return to their fully twisted position. These unique teeth contribute greatly to the integrity of a joint assembly.
The powerful spring reaction of the teeth work to maintain fastening tension. The teeth also react instantly to any loosening force, setting up a strut action that is in direct opposition to the loosening rotation of the fastener. The flexed teeth of the washer absorbs shock and vibration, while the spring reaction of the teeth work to absorb high torque and prevent slipping. | |

Shaft Retainers, or stud receivers are designed to hold securely on unthreaded metal or plastic shafts, rods or studs. These retainers are used to hold wheels or gears to axles or shafts and to hold panels in place.
Our retainers generate a pull-off force typically 10 to 20 times greater than the moderate push-on force required for installation.
An external tooth version securely grips the inner wall of a cylinder tube. Teeth, or prongs on the retainer flex as they are pushed into a cylinder, setting up a strut that strongly resists back-off pressures. No groove, recess or other preparation is needed on the inner wall of the cylinder | |
