Machine Building

The Machine building Industry covers a very wide range of Industries that the machines are built for but all the machines have a few things in common. The first thing is that they want to be running as efficiently as possible with the least amount of downtime and the second part is that they will all have lots of moving parts that are subjected to dynamic loads and vibrations.

Highly complicated machines are available now with as many as 5 axis and with robotics that are moving at speeds never seen before.

To keep up with the electronics on these machines the mechanical parts need to be more robust than ever. Maintaining the Pre-load in the bolted joint to stop it coming loose is essential and can be achieved by introducing the WL series wedge locking washer to joint.

The WL Series Wedge Locking washer will maintain the load in the joint until it is physical untightened, see our video on how it works.
