DIN 7967 is a standard for spring locking nuts used to connect threaded screws to other parts. These nuts have an internal threaded profile and a special spring locking mechanism that ensures their locking function. Spring locking nuts are used where it is necessary to ensure a reliable and stable connection of a threaded screw with other parts, as well as where it is necessary to prevent their loosening from vibrations and other external influences. DIN 7967 defines the dimensions and parameters of the nut connections used to connect threaded screws to other parts using a locking nut connection.
Fastening group DIN 7967
Elastic locking nuts DIN 7967 belong to the stainless steel fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 7967 nuts
DIN 7967 nuts are made of the following materials:
- Stainless steel. Steel grades A2 and A4 allow the fasteners to be used at high temperature extremes and in aggressive and humid environments.
- Steel that is additionally coated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fasteners are to be used in aggressive environments.
Areas of application of nuts DIN 7967
Spring locking nut DIN 7967 is commonly used to connect threaded connections in mechanical engineering and other industrial sectors where it is important to ensure reliable fixation of the connection. This nut has a special design that allows it to be used in environments with high vibration and shock loads. It consists of a metal nut with a built-in spring and ball segments that provide thread stability and prevent thread loosening. Also, the spring lock nut DIN 7967 can be used as a vibration compensator, reducing noise and vibration that occur during the operation of machines and equipment. It helps to maintain a secure connection and reduces the risk of disconnection during operation.
