Laser 6869 Safety Locking Wire 0.8mm x 30m

Product Information

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. There are also other systems of fastener retention that do not rely on safety wire at all, such as lock washers, locknuts, jam nuts, thread-locking fluid, castellated nuts and cotter pins, all of which accomplish a similar objective as safety wire, which is to prevent nuts backing off (falling off). 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.

Drilling them is often difficult as, due to their small size and irregular shape, securing them properly and applying a drill effectively can be trying.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. Although pre-drilled fasteners can be obtained, most fasteners to be secured start out never having been intended to be secured (e. If the fastener part to be secured does not come with a hole for the safety wire, one may need to be drilled. This application of witness wires is widely varied, and may cover a broad range of types of equipment and numerous situations. 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.

We are also the UK and European distributor for Aircraft Spruce and Speciality, with whom we have been doing business with for over 25 years. 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. Safety wire tabs are washers that are used to secure fasteners by transferring the force of the safety wire to the head of the fastener to be secured. The installation and inspection of Safe-T-Cable is simple, easy to train, and rework is virtually eliminated. 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.

This is done by passing a couple of turns of mousing wire through the reach-hole provided for this purpose in the unthreaded end of the clevis pin and around the body of the shackle's hoop. DTD189A is a British Ministry specification, internationally known throughout the aerospace industry.
