MDS WEDGLOKING
Operating as a company within the Socket & Allied Screws Group, MDS Wedgloking offers a bespoke after-service of wedgloking - a process of embedding an engineered plastic pellet compressed into the side of the thread promoting a locking action.
The pellet is compressed into a hole drilled in the threaded region of the fastener. Its size and position are standard but can be modified to meet customer requirements. This system forms a wedge, creating metal to metal friction when the pellet is deformed. As the pellet strives to regain its original shape, this causes firm locking.
Wedgloking features:
High resistance to vibration
Negates the need for locking washers or nuts
Easy to assemble
Can be used across a wide range of materials
Compatible with mating parts
Corrosion-resistant (ie. fuels, lubricants and hydraulic fluids).
Great durability
Cost effective
Pellets made from Nylon 66 possess a wide operating temperature range
(-56°C to 121°C).
