Laser 6869 Safety Locking Wire 0.8mm x 30m

Product Information

A useful tool is a drill press, because it allows the technician to apply the force of the drill bit directly to the fastener being drilled and eliminates lateral movement; but even with a press the fastener needs to be secured to prevent it from sliding out from beneath the bit. It's also known as seizing wire and is most often used to prevent a fastener from shaking lose in applications where this is critical.

The single crossover provides the appropriate friction such that the wire cannot fall completely free of the equipment when broken. The disadvantages are that it adds extra distance between the head of the fastener and the surface to which it is to be secured, and it is not as secure as securing the wire directly to the fastener itself as the tab could be a point of failure if it somehow unbends or the hole breaks (which is more likely than the hole in a drilled fastener failing due to the thinness and malleability of the material from which it is made).

They are installed just like any other washer, after which the sides of the tab are bent up to make contact with the sides of the head of the fastener. f. page 7-21 specifies "Safety wire ends must be bent under and inward toward the part to avoid sharp or projecting ends, which might present a safety hazard. They can also be useful when a fastener needs to be replaced, the replacement is not already drilled, and circumstances do not afford the time or tools to properly prepare the replacement fastener.

The primary disadvantage of traditional safety wire is the time it requires to install properly when securing fasteners, although technicians who use it often can implement it fairly quickly. Although pre-drilled fasteners can be obtained, most fasteners to be secured start out never having been intended to be secured (e.

The advantage of safety wire tabs is that the fastener to be secured does not need to be drilled, which can be advantageous for fasteners that should not or cannot be drilled because of size or damage concerns.Nylon zip ties are also commonly used in applications where the shackle must be secured but easy removal is required. Chose from our fantastic selection of Nuts, Bolts, Caphead Bolts, Screws and Washers for your Model Airplane, Boat, Car, Train or Helicopter. Even though drill presses ease the process, a press isn't always available, such as at a race event; and even with a press, the problem of securing the fastener still exists.

For all our parts such as fittings, oil coolers, fuel hoses and other parts excluding brake or clutch line kits we offer a 12-month warranty. The advantage to this tool is its long and thin design, which can access hard-to-reach areas where one's hands or pliers do not fit. Another disadvantage is that since the manual skill required to implement traditional safety wire is easily learned, the techniques required to maximize the retentive force of safety wire (e. The imperial bolt jig suits six sizes: UNC 1/4-20, UNC 5/16-18, UNF 5/16-24, UNC 3/8-16, UNF 3/8-24 and UNC 7/16-14. It is usually made of stainless steel, but is also available in monel and inconel alloys for high temperature applications and copper for break-away applications.The cable is threaded through a hole on the fastener to be secured, which is large enough to accommodate the wire but too small for the cap on the other end of the cable to pass through it. Safety Locking Wire has been used as a way of locking mechanical components against vibration and for fuel and airline connections for many years.
