M8 Self Locking Flange Head Bolt Caterpillar 5186477

The Self Locking Flange Head Bolt is a fastening component to hold parts together while resisting loosening caused by vibration and repeated movement. It combines a threaded shank with a flange head that distributes clamping force over a wider surface area, reducing the need for separate washers. The self-locking feature is achieved through thread interference or locking action that creates resistance during tightening, ensuring the bolt remains secure even under continuous motion.Attributes:• Maintains consistent fastening performance in moving assemblies.• Prevents loss of preload caused by vibration or shifting loads.• Eliminates the need for a separate washer due to the flange design.Applications: The Self Locking Flange Head Bolt is used in assemblies where components must remain securely fastened despite vibration or movement. It is applied in joints where a wide clamping surface and locking action are required to maintain tight connections during operation.
