The SPC4™ load indicating fasteners allow users to install a bolted assembly with accuracy and confidence. The user can constantly monitor the clamp load on the bolted joint, whether static or dynamic, by attaching a probe to the datum disc located on the head of the fastener and reading the value on a hand held battery powered digital monitor.

NORD-LOCK washers provide a secure terminal connection over the life of the EnerSys Data Safe 16V Front Terminal UPS Batteries. (read more)

Since the bolt was invented it has been important to prevent its self-loosening. Under static loads the bolt will be kept in place thanks to the self-locking effect caused by frictional force under the head/nut and in the thread exceeding gliding forces in the pitch of the bolt. (read more)

Tolerance Rings are an economical way to mount ball bearings in stamped, cast or welded parts. Tolerance Rings eliminate rotating outer ring in housing bores. Tolerance Rings allow relaxed housing bore tolerances. Tolerance Rings allow bearing float. (read more)

Clevises and clevis joints are some of the most frequently used linking elements in industry. These parts can be found everywhere where simple movements are required, e.g. linear pulling, pushing or even axle offset compensation. The clevis specialist, mbo Osswald, provides a particularly wide application range with a whole assortment of different clevises and clevis joints. (read more)

The axial joint is a typical example of a solution in the field of angle joints to DIN 71802. The transfer of the applied forces does not take place at an angle of 90° but linearly as 180° variant. These axial joints are available in the popular angle joint and ball joint standard sizes in either galvanized or stainless steel. (read more)

The knuckle eyes can be used as standard linking element on the connecting rods of pneumatic cylinders or gas springs. (read more)

Included in the mbo Osswald standard program are angle joints and ball joints, which can significantly simplify mechanical construction and are essential in all mechanical operations such as cushioning, drawing, tilting, levering and more. They are just about as diverse in their geometry, appearance, and construction, as the visions of the designers. (read more)

Angle joints/Ball joints serve as linking and guiding elements for movable parts and create corner joints. These parts from component suppliers can significantly simplify mechanical construction, be used to transfer power in offset axles, transmit movement and are indispensable in all mechanical operations such as cushioning, drawing, tilting, levering, etc. (read more)
