Self-locking screws protect against vibration

Arnold-Powerlok locking screws feature a trilobular thread and are designed for screwing into existing metric ISO threads (tolerance zone 6H).

Arnold-Powerlok locking screws feature a trilobular thread and are designed for screwing into existing metric ISO threads (tolerance zone 6H).

Onto the normal 60-degree thread flanks there are additional small 30-degree flanks rolled which extend beyond the normal diameter of the screw thread.

When screwed in these 30-degree points penetrate into the counter thread (ISO 6H) and effect self-locking of the screw, providing a seat that is resistant against oscillation and vibration.

The deformation of the nut thread by the 30-degree points takes place in the ductile range of the material.

This ensures a high degree of self-locking and reusability of the screw of up to five times in the same nut thread.

Longitudinal and lateral movement between screw and mating thread are eliminated.

Arnold-Powerlok screws correspond to Property Class 10.9.

By slight carburisation an additional increase of surface hardness is possible.

Arnold-Powerlok screws combine fastening and locking elements in one.

They can replace mechanical and chemical lock retention methods.
