Precision Locknuts & Locking Elements

We are engaged in manufacturing of precision locknuts in accordance to various industrial standards. Appreciated for durability, dimensional accuracy and high rigidity, the locknuts effectively reduces the torque that is formed by tightening the screw.

Locking elements are components manufactured to high precision tolerances and are used on shafts, to transmit torque to- or from- the shaft in a number of different ways, depending on the application.

Locking elements are essentially an alternative to keyways and keys and offer the benefit of smaller shaft diameters for a given torque rating as well as a simplified shaft and coupling manufacturing process.

A number of suppliers offer locking elements to the industry and different vendors' products usually offer different features and different specifications.

The principle of the design of a locking element is to apply a substantial radial force to two interfacing, machined surfaces and to use the resulting frictional resistance to transmit an tangential force and, in some cases, withstand an axial force along the shaft.
