Hexagonal safety wire bolt

Das Kaltstauchverfahren ist eines der neuen Verfahren für die Druckbearbeitung mit weniger oder gar keiner Zerspanung
Metall. Es handelt sich um eine Verarbeitungsmethode, die die plastische Verformung von Metall unter der Einwirkung von
äußere Kräfte, und mit Hilfe von Formen wird das Metallvolumen umverteilt und in die Form gebracht
die gewünschten Teile oder Rohlinge. Das Kaltstauchverfahren ist am besten geeignet für die Herstellung von Standard
Verbindungselemente wie Bolzen, Schrauben, Muttern, Nieten, Stifte usw.

A Hexagon Sicherheitsdrahtbolzen is a specialized fastener designed to remain secure in high-vibration or high-torque environments, commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. Here’s a detailed description:

Wesentliche Merkmale:

1. Hexagon Head – Features a standard six-sided (hex) head for easy tightening and loosening with a wrench or socket.

2. Safety Wire Holes – Includes pre-drilled holes (usually two) in the head or shank to allow safety wire (lock wire) to be threaded through, preventing loosening due to vibration.

3. Material – Typically made from high-strength materials like:

   • Rostfreier Stahl (e.g., AISI 304, 316) for corrosion resistance.

   • Alloy Steel (e.g., Grade 8, 10.9) for high tensile strength.

   • Titan (e.g., Grade 5) for lightweight, high-strength applications.

4. Gewindetyp – May have fine or coarse threads depending on the application (e.g., metric or SAE).

5. Surface Finish – Often coated with corrosion-resistant treatments like zinc plating, cadmium, or anodizing (for aluminum variants).

Gemeinsame Anwendungen:

• Aircraft & Aerospace – Securing critical components like engine parts, landing gear, and control surfaces.

• Motorsport – Used in engines, exhaust systems, and suspension to prevent bolt failure.

• Military & Defense – Ensures reliability in firearms, vehicles, and machinery.

• Industrielle Maschinen – Prevents loosening in vibrating equipment like turbines and pumps.

Sicherheitsdraht Methode:

• The bolt is tightened to the correct torque, and then a stainless steel wire is threaded through the holes and twisted tightly, connecting it to another secured bolt or fixed point. This prevents rotation in either direction.

Vorteile:

• Vibrationsbeständigkeit – Prevents self-loosening in dynamic environments.

• Verlässlichkeit – Provides a fail-safe mechanical lock where threadlockers may fail.

• Reusable – Unlike chemical adhesives, safety wire can be replaced.
