Agriculture

The development of machinery to assist the land owner over the years has gone from strength to strength with the introduction of many different machines to assist in the cultivating of the land as well as other general tasks that used to be manual. The development continues with the technology of driver less vehicles as well as remotely operated equipment such as drones but the need to hold everything together still relies on the humble nut and bolt.

The improvement in efficiency usually results in machines working faster and generating more power so the stress on the bolted joints becomes more and more critical. The need to ensure that the machinery goes out to perform its duty either with a human or on its own with everything functioning correctly and the peace of mind that nothing is going to come loose is essential to the owners.

The WL Series Wedge locking Technology will maintain the load in the joint until it is physically untightened.

Applications include the securing of nuts on the power transmission shafts of vehicles, securing the bolted joints on plow’s as well as many general applications where bolted joints are subjected to dynamic loading and vibrations on tractors and other agriculture machinery.
