Product Information

Full details

The Heico Pairs of Wedge Lock Washers are precision-engineered for engineers, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who require secure fastening in high-vibration environments. These washers provide a reliable locking mechanism for M6 bolts, ensuring that connections remain tight under heavy loads and mechanical stress. While they offer superior security compared to standard flat washers, they require careful orientation during installation to ensure the wedge-locking surfaces engage correctly.

FAQs

Can these be reused?

Yes, Heico wedge lock washers can generally be reused, provided that the cam faces and radial teeth show no significant signs of wear or deformation.

Do I need to apply thread locker with these washers?

No, the wedge-locking mechanism is designed to replace the need for chemical thread lockers in most vibration-prone applications.

Are these washers compatible with stainless steel bolts?

Yes, they are compatible with most standard M6 metal bolts, but always ensure the material hardness is appropriate for the application.

What is the benefit of the Delta Protekt coating?

It provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring the washers do not seize or rust in harsh or outdoor environments.

How should the washers be oriented?

The washers must be placed in a pair with the cam faces touching each other in the middle, and the textured radial teeth facing outward toward the bolt head and the substrate.

Troubleshooting

Bolt feels loose shortly after installation

Verify that the washers were installed as a pair with the wedge faces aligned toward each other, rather than flat-side to flat-side.

Surface indentation after tightening

The radial ribs are designed to bite into the surface to create a lock. If the surface is too soft, consider using a hardened backup plate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents loosening in high-vibration environments
  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to Delta Protekt finish
  • Simple, intuitive assembly process
  • High structural integrity for demanding applications

Cons

  • Specific orientation required for proper locking function
  • Not intended for use with extra-soft mating surfaces
  • Single-sized compatibility for M6 hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, the washers must be installed in pairs with the cam faces facing each other.

  1. Preparation: Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris.
  2. Assembly: Place the pair of washers between the bolt head and the workpiece, or between the nut and the workpiece.
  3. Tightening: Use a torque wrench to reach the required specification for your M6 bolt.
  4. Compatibility: These washers are designed strictly for M6 hardware. Do not attempt to use them with different thread sizes or pitches.
  5. Care: While the Delta Protekt coating is robust, inspect washers for wear or deformation if the bolt is removed after a long service period. Replace the pair if the cam surfaces appear rounded or significantly worn.
