Threaded fasteners such as bolts and screws are common to countless assemblies, allowing for two or more pieces to be secured together with ease. When exposed to various forces such as vibration and shock, such fasteners can often become loose over time. To prevent such incidents from occurring, specialized components known as locking fasteners may be used. Generally, these are components that are specifically designed to prevent loosening through various locking schemes. In this blog, we will discuss the most common forms of non-permanent locking schemes, allowing you to find the most optimal locking fasteners for your needs.
