Mechanical fasteners like screws, nuts, and bolts are fundamental components in any machine or vehicle. In this video, we will walk you through the basics of:
- Different fastener types and shapes
- Drive types
- Materials and coatings
- Galvanic corrosion
- Coarse vs fine thread
- Best practices of joint design
- Helicoils and heat-set inserts
- Calculating the correct preload and torque
- Vibration control methods
And we'll answer that age-old question: what's the difference between a screw and a bolt?

Split lock washers do help in mild vibration conditions. They are applicable if the connection is tested in service and proven to be sufficient. Otherwise wedgelock is a much better choice but the cost is much higher. We have applications with no lock washer, with split lock, and with wedgelock.

@evanparker 5 лет назад

i have been a mechanical engineer for 11 year and this video is 100% correct, except maybe for the major diss to lock spring washers. spring lock washers definitely have their place, although not in any sort of critical vibrating assembly. they are used a ton in big construction stuff, bridges, big casting forging bolted joint type stuff with much success. nordlocks are amazing but about a zillion dollars amazing for your airplane, but not for everything. Even as a believer in them, I will admit that there is a lot of correct information floating around that the spring lock washers are not as useful as many other methods. They have lots of weak points, but they're incredibly cheap. superb video!

There are washers which are two metal elements with little dots of wax between them. When they reach the design compression load the wax (dyed a bright color) squeezes out.

@erikisberg3886 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video. Agree on the general uselessness of split ring lock washers, for small screws they seem to increase failure rates. When at college I built a lab for ME students that graphically measured clamping force vs nut and bolt torque for M8 screws. Some Zn plated and some stainless screws did reduce clamping force below 50% the second time torquing them down. If at all critical, thread length and correct lubrication seems as important as correct torque and angle. Subscribed to Your channel.

(EDIT: turns out I mixed up belleville spring washer and spring washers) The mechanical engineers I work alongside doing electronics uses (belleville) spring washer all the time. They ensure good electrical connectivity in the power-electronics designs. Connectors are often made out of soft metals that can deform over time (e.g. due to temperature, pressure, vibration etc). If and when this happens the (belleville) sping-washer "springs into action" and pushes the two mating surfaces together.

@SquidIndustriesco 3 года назад

Hey Tarkka, loved the video. Could you briefly go over why an increase in grip length results in higher resistance to loosening? Also, at 10:43, you mention the deformed thread lock nuts. Is this the same thing as the locking thread operation at 11:49?

@TheEnglish2011 3 года назад

Not sure if you only wanted a answer form tarkka but I have done some research on this. I think the long neck acts like a better spring. Allowing changes in load to occur with out thread deforming or changing shape. As for the lock nuts. They are the same technology. But I don’t like thread deforming because you can’t reuse the nut. Many nylon locking nuts can be reused.

@framavia2201 4 года назад

Interesting Video - Split washers and toothed (MS35333 type) washers are often specified in the aviation industry, almost always between a plain washer and the nut. The plain washer is free to slide against the part, so the only way they can have much effect is by maintaining a little pre load if the fastener begins to loosen? I suspect its true that they have little real benefit, but I must always install them as specified!

@makarlock 3 года назад

Great video! I have just discovered your content, and its amazingly concise and straightforward. You guys even machine examples! I have begun using your videos as part of an on boarding procedure for undergrads at my rocket club. Question about lock wire: from what I understand, it does not affect the preload or the vibe resistance of the fastener, it just prevent a loose screw from becoming dangerous debris in applications like turbines by keeping it connected to the other screws in the event of backing out. Is this true? I’ve been thinking about it, and i can see how the lock wire can prevent the fastener from backing out but it seems like it can’t add preload to it or prevent the fastener from breaking the static preload friction. Are there any good resources documenting the behavior of lock wire that you know of? Thanks!

Yes, in general split washers aren't resistenant against vibrations. The toothed washers can be used, they are cheaper than Nordlocks, but not that effective, so Loctite is a way to go in most cases.

Cyclic load does not affect preload setting. Sufficient preload is critical to minimize cyclic load effect on the joint. If the cyclic load is causing preloaded screw to reach critical stress limit, the solution is to increase the screw size and/or the number of screws, not to reduce preload. Reducing the preload will cause the cyclic load to increase its effect on the joint. Unless there is material strength constraint of the tapped hole material, preload of 75% proof load of the fastener should always be applied whenever possible, especially for cyclically loaded high vibration applications.
