Laser Safety Locking Wire - 0.8mm X 30M

Safety locking wire is used to prevent fasteners (like bolts and nuts) from loosening due to vibration or other forces. It acts as a positive locking device and also provides a visual indicator that the fasteners have been properly tightened.

This specific Laser Safety Locking Wire has a diameter of 0.8mm and comes in a length of 30 meters.

The wire is made of stainless steel, which offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion.

Yes, while you can manually twist the wire, it is highly recommended to use safety wire pliers, such as the Laser Wire Twisting Pliers (Part No 2722), for effective and secure application.

Yes, it is ideal for motor racing applications and other demanding mechanical uses where vibration can cause fasteners to loosen.

The wire should be threaded through the holes in the fasteners, twisted tightly, and then trimmed. The twist provides the locking force, and the wire should lie flat against the components once installed.

Safety wire is typically a single-use item. Once removed or significantly deformed, it should be replaced with new wire to ensure reliable locking.

Ensure you are using appropriate safety wire pliers designed for this task. Check that the wire is threaded correctly through the fasteners and that you are not forcing it. Use a consistent twisting motion.

Verify that the wire is taut and securely twisted around both fasteners. Ensure the wire passes through holes in the head of the bolt and the nut or adjacent component, providing a mechanical lock.

Use specialized safety wire cutters or high-quality diagonal cutters for a clean cut. Ensure the excess wire is bent flat against the secured components to avoid creating sharp edges.
