GOST 10464-81 is a German standard that defines the parameters and dimensions of toothed lock washers designed to prevent nuts or screws from loosening on their own during operation. These washers are toothed and usually made of carbon steel or stainless steel. They are often used in mechanical systems, the automotive industry, and other industries where it is necessary to ensure that screws or nuts are securely fastened. Due to their toothed shape, these washers create additional friction between the surface of the nut or screw and the surface on which they are screwed, which provides a more secure fixation and prevents self loosening.
Fastener group GOST 10464-81
GOST 10464-81 Locking toothed washer is most often made of stainless steel and belongs to the stainless fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of washers GOST 10464-81
GOST 10464-81 Locking toothed washer is made of the following materials:
- Steel, which can be additionally coated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments.
- Stainless steel grade A2 allows the fasteners to be used at significant temperature drops and in aggressive and humid environments.
Scope of application of washers of GOST 10464-81
GOST 10464-81 Locking toothed washer is used in various industries where it is necessary to ensure reliable fixation of screws or nuts and prevent unauthorized loosening. Some of its applications include:
