Sterke sluitring

The influence of a washer on the quality of the screwed connection is very often underestimated. With washers GN 6339, high quality preloaded screwed connections can be established. A high static clamping force can be reached avoiding loss of tension. At a specified preloaded clamping force it is often possible to use thinner bolts. This can result in a better ratio between clamping distance and bolt diameter to minimise the danger of failure. The case-hardened smooth bolt head/screw contact face leads to a lower and more constant friction co-efficient even when continuous clamping and releasing operations are required. Washers GN 6339 are only suitable for machine construction bolts of classes 8.8 / 10.9 / 12.9, and not for steel bolts DIN 6914.
