Locking Devices for Screwed Joints
Fastening is a process of joining two or more machine elements together to work in a function. There will be two types of fastening. Permanent fastening such as welding, riveting and temporary fastening such as screwed joint. Screws are the temporary fasteners. which means the joining of the machine elements can be disassembled whenever it is required without damage […]
