Shear Wrench helps minimize operator fatigue.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:43:45 -0500

Electrically powered Model DL-537E utilizes outer socket to engage nut and inner socket to engage bolt. Two sockets rotate in counter force allowing nut to turn while bolt remains stationary, preventing torque from passing to operator. DISC-LOCK tension control bolt is available in hex head and button head configurations, both using DISC-LOCK locking nut. Free-spinning and vibration-proof, self-locking nut solves problem of fastener failure.

Providing positive locking without washers and keys, Spieth Locknuts ensure thrust bearing retention on compressors, shafts, spindles, and other industrial/commercial applications. Two axially arranged radial grooves, one from outside and one from inside, result in diaphragm-like cross-section to give locknut predetermined axial elasticity. Full circumference contact ensures locknut does not back off, even when subjected to extreme shock loads.
