Twins-Lock Washers DIN25021
Short Description:
Twins-Lock Washers DIN25021, also known as Double stack self-locking washers, or Anti-vibration self-locking washers, works by using tension rather than friction, which has been the basis for most traditional fastening methods. This ensures the securing of threaded systems. The part consists of two identical flat washers which have a set of cams on one side and a radial knurling on the other side. A Twins-Lock washer is supplied with a pair of washers glued together to avoid any orientation mistake during assembly. In case of reuse, the washers need to be assembled cams face to cams face.

► Twins-Lock Washers Introduction

The angle of inclination α of the washer cam is bigger than the pitch ß of the screw thread. When the fastener is tightened, the radial knurling surfaces grip both the bearing surface of the fastener and the material into which the screw is being fastened. The larger angle of the cam α, compared to the smaller angle of the screw thread ß, will not allow the screw to loosen because of the tension caused by the cam lifting.

► Twins-Lock Washers Advantages
Thanks to its own know-how and the lab tests carried out, Twins-Lock washers can ensure the following main advantages.
1. Best locking performance in the presence of vibrations and dynamic loads.
2. The system works independently from the type of lubrication used and guarantees a secure locking in dry as well as in lubricated conditions. The use of high quality lubricant in order to maximize the performance of this fastening system is recommended.
3. Reusable - depending on application and environment.
4. Locking of fixing elements with high as well as low pre-load.
5. Can be used with any kind of bolt/nut of any class of resistance (up to 12.9).
6. No retightening required.
7. Assembly-friendly system as the pieces are delivered pre-glued (cams face against cams face).
► Twins-Lock Washers Applications
Twins-lock washers are used in a wide range of industries: Energy, transportation, maritime, mining and quarrying, construction and bridge construction, manufacturing, processing, shipbuilding, forestry and agriculture, heavy vehicles and the military.

RETAINING RINGS
Retaining rings, also known as circlips, is divided into circlips for holes and circlips for shafts. It plays the role of axial restraint, which can prevent the axial movement of other parts. The circlips is formed by punching sheet metal. It’s functional cross-section is conical, and contact is linear after assembly. Some of the large-size circlips are made of wire winding and punching surplus materials, with regular rectangular cross-section and “surface contact” after assembly.
