Stop screws are a special type of fastening screws, sometimes called locking screws. Stop screws are designed to prevent natural loosening caused by vibration or other factors.
In general, stop screws are designed in a variety of ways to achieve locking effects, including, but not limited to:
1. Use a spring washer or locking gasket: this is a common way to prevent the screw from loosening by placing a spring gasket or locking gasket between the screw and the fixed object.
two。. Use nylon inserts: insert a section of nylon into the threaded part of the nut or screw. When the screw is screwed in, the nylon insert provides additional resistance to prevent the screw from loosening naturally.
3. The use of special thread design: by designing a special thread shape or changing the thread spacing, the friction can be increased and the screw is not easy to loosen naturally.
Stop screws are widely used in a variety of situations that need to prevent screws from loosening, such as mechanical equipment, automobile, aircraft, electronic equipment and other fields. Their use can greatly improve the reliability of the equipment and reduce the failure and maintenance costs caused by loose screws.
When choosing stop screws, you need to consider the following factors:
1. Screw specifications: including screw diameter, length, thread specifications, etc., which need to match the aperture and depth of the fixed object.
two。. Material and surface treatment: the material and surface treatment of the stop screw will affect its strength and corrosion resistance. For example, stainless steel screws have good corrosion resistance, while carbon steel screws have higher strength.
3. Stop payment: as mentioned earlier, stop screws have a variety of stop payment methods, including spring washers, nylon inserts, special thread design, etc. Which method to choose needs to be decided according to the specific application environment and requirements.
Generally speaking, stop screws are very useful fasteners, and their use can greatly improve the reliability and safety of the equipment. However, in use, the appropriate specifications, materials and stop-payment methods need to be selected according to the specific application environment and requirements.
