What are the advantages of self-locking tuning screws in aerospace field?
Self-locking tuning screws have the following advantages in the aerospace field:
Excellent anti-loosening and anti-seismic performance: aerospace vehicles will experience various complex vibration and impact loads during flight, and ordinary screws are prone to loosening or even falling off, which will lead to serious safety accidents. The self-locking tuning screw is designed by a special self-locking structure, such as the outer periphery of the self-locking end is provided with mutually staggered thread segments and radial slots. When it is screwed into the mounting part, the radial slots generate compression deformation, which can eliminate the clearance between the thread segments and the internal threads of the mounting part and generate a large friction force, so that the screw and the mounting part can form reliable self-locking, effectively resist vibration and impact, and prevent loosening.
Stable and reliable connection: the structural parts of the aircraft need to bear huge external forces and pressures, and the connection parts must be stable and reliable. Self-locking tuning screws can provide stable fastening force, ensure the tight connection between components, and will not loosen due to external force during long-term use, thus ensuring the integrity and safety of aircraft structure.
Adapt to complex environment: The working environment in aerospace field is complex and changeable, including high temperature, low temperature, high humidity and strong radiation. Self-locking tuning screws are usually made of high-performance alloy materials, which have good high-temperature and low-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and other characteristics, and can maintain stable performance under various harsh environmental conditions to ensure the reliability of connection.
Easy installation and debugging: In the process of manufacturing and maintenance of aerospace equipment, it is necessary to install and debug components efficiently. The design of the self-locking tuning screw makes it relatively easy to operate during installation, without additional complicated tools or special installation process. At the same time, in the process of debugging, if the components need to be adjusted or reinstalled, the self-locking tuning screw can also be easily disassembled and fastened again, which improves the working efficiency.
High precision and consistency: the aerospace field requires extremely high precision of parts. The advanced processing technology and strict quality control in the manufacturing process of self-locking tuning screws can ensure the dimensional accuracy and performance consistency of screws. This is helpful to realize the accurate assembly between the parts of the aircraft, improve the overall performance and reliability, and reduce the potential risks caused by the difference in precision of the parts.
