Hexagonal cross flange face triangular teeth locking screws are a sophisticated type of fastener designed for high-strength and secure connections, particularly in environments where resistance to vibration and loosening is crucial. These screws are distinguished by their hexagonal head, which allows for precise and controlled tightening using a wrench, and a flange face that provides a larger contact area with the material being fastened, reducing the risk of material damage. The triangular teeth on the threads offer a self-locking mechanism that enhances the screw's holding power.
These screws are usually made of stainless steel, carbon steel, or other metallic materials. Surface treatments may include zinc plating, nickel plating, passivation, etc. to improve corrosion and wear resistance. The chemical composition of the stainless steel material should be within the range specified in the steel group, the chemical composition of A2 and A4 stainless steel is specified in the following table .
Advantage:
Hexagonal Head: Provides a larger surface for torque application, allowing for easier and more controlled tightening and reducing the risk of the wrench slipping off during installation.
Flange Face: The flange or washer-like face on the head distributes the load over a larger area, which can help prevent the material from sinking or damaging, especially in softer materials.
Triangular Teeth Self-Locking Mechanism: The unique triangular teeth on the threads engage with the material to provide a mechanical lock that resists loosening due to vibration or dynamic loads.
High-Strength Materials: Often made from high-strength materials like carbon steel or stainless steel, these screws offer reliable strength and durability, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Versatility: These screws can be used in a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, making them a versatile choice for various industries.
Scope of Application
Construction and Infrastructure: Ideal for fastening metal roofing, wall paneling, and ductwork where a strong connection without pre-drilling is needed, and resistance to environmental vibrations is essential.
Mechanical and Structural Applications: Used in machinery and structural assemblies where high torque and preload are required, and the connection must resist loosening under dynamic loads.
Aerospace and Marine: Employed in aerospace and marine applications where lightweight, high-strength connections are required, and the ability to resist loosening in critical safety components is essential.
Electronics and Appliance Assembly: Secures components in electrical enclosures and control panels, as well as in the assembly of electronic devices where a low-profile appearance is desired.
