Toothed nut copper plated

O processo de encabeçamento a frio é um dos novos processos para a maquinagem sob pressão com menos ou nenhum corte
metal. É um método de processamento que utiliza a deformação plástica do metal sob a ação de
forças externas e, com a ajuda de moldes, redistribui e transfere o volume de metal para formar
as peças ou os espaços em branco necessários. O processo de encabeçamento a frio é o mais adequado para a produção de
elementos de fixação, tais como cavilhas, parafusos, porcas, rebites, cavilhas, etc.

A safety wire copper-plated tooth nut is a specialized fastener designed for applications requiring secure locking to prevent loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. Below is an overall description of its key features and uses:

Caraterísticas principais:

1. Copper-Plated Finish

   • Provides corrosion resistance and enhances conductivity, making it suitable for electrical grounding or EMI/RFI shielding applications.

   • Improves durability in harsh environments (e.g., aerospace, automotive, or marine industries).

2. Tooth Design (Serrated Flange or Teeth Under the Nut)

   • The nut has serrations (teeth) on the bearing surface that bite into the mating material, increasing resistance to rotation.

   • Ensures a tight, vibration-resistant lock without needing additional washers.

   • Toothed nut copper plated

3. Safety Wire Holes

   • Pre-drilled holes allow the nut to be secured with safety wire (locking wire), commonly used in aviation, motorsports, and military applications.

   • The wire is threaded through adjacent fasteners to prevent unintentional loosening.

Aplicações comuns:

• Aerospace & Aviation: Used in engines, landing gear, and critical assemblies where vibration resistance is crucial.

• Automotive & Racing: Secures high-performance components subjected to extreme vibrations.

• Industrial Machinery: Prevents loosening in heavy machinery and rotating equipment.

• Electrical Systems: Copper plating aids in grounding and electrical continuity.

Vantagens:

• Double Security: Combines mechanical locking (teeth) with safety wire for fail-safe retention.

• Corrosion Resistance: Copper plating offers protection against rust and oxidation.

Standards & Specifications:

• May comply with MS, NAS, AN (Aerospace Standards) or DIN, ISO (Industrial Standards).

• Material typically includes steel, stainless steel, or alloy metals with copper plating.

Installation Notes:

• Requires proper torque to ensure teeth engage effectively.

• Toothed nut copper plated

This type of nut is ideal for critical applications where vibration resistance and secondary locking (via safety wire) are mandatory for safety and reliability.
