Laser 6869 Safety Locking Wire 0.8mm x 30m

Product Information

The imperial bolt jig suits six sizes: UNC 1/4-20, UNC 5/16-18, UNF 5/16-24, UNC 3/8-16, UNF 3/8-24 and UNC 7/16-14. Wire can prevent nuts from falling off, but can not prevent fatigue failure which results when low tensioned bolts are exposed to vibration. To finish the job, use the special Wire Twisting Pliers from Laser Tools (part number 2722) and the stainless steel Safety Locking Wire, also from Laser Tools — part number 6869. Drilling them is often difficult as, due to their small size and irregular shape, securing them properly and applying a drill effectively can be trying.

This application of witness wires is widely varied, and may cover a broad range of types of equipment and numerous situations. It also leaves behind waste products when ends are clipped off or when it is cut off secured fasteners that need to be removed during maintenance, resulting in sharp metal bits that can easily damage soft materials or injure skin.

The disadvantages are that it adds extra distance between the head of the fastener and the surface to which it is to be secured, and it is not as secure as securing the wire directly to the fastener itself as the tab could be a point of failure if it somehow unbends or the hole breaks (which is more likely than the hole in a drilled fastener failing due to the thinness and malleability of the material from which it is made).

In addition, safety wire twisting is a standard, non-proprietary technique, and tools and materials can be easily found, cheaply purchased, and mixed with other brands while still working properly (provided of course that all components are used properly and with the proper types of complementary components and tools, if not brands).

Several companies manufacture safety cable, and it is becoming an industry standard due to easier control of critical inputs and reduced installation time. Professional lock wire for commercial or occasional use Stainless steel lock wire Twist safety wire Commonly used in motor sport and also used in the aeronautical and defence industries Wide range of uses including safety wiring of nuts, bolts, turnbuckles to prevent loss through engine vibration / movement As well as this can be used for crafts, jewellery making, tying and binding Also used to secure oil drain plugs, filters, grips and bolts etc. Because the use of twisted safety wire to secure fasteners requires the fasteners to be drilled, tool makers offer drill jigs to help technicians drill the fasteners to be secured.

Locking wire is used in applications where vibrations could loosen fasteners in steel wire rope fabrications.The gauge of copper wire utilized in this application is such that the wire security can be overcome with minimal breaking force by hand, without damage to the equipment or persons, and once broken, remains affixed to the equipment without the introduction of foreign object damage (FOD). The advantage of safety wire tabs is that the fastener to be secured does not need to be drilled, which can be advantageous for fasteners that should not or cannot be drilled because of size or damage concerns. Brake and Clutch line kits come with a lifetime warranty or for the length of the time you own the vehicle. S. is being secured, then the safety wire when installed should put tension on the bolt in a clockwise direction, since that is the direction that the bolt turns to tighten. To solve those problems, jigs are available which are designed to securely hold the fastener while providing a guide-channel for a drill bit (with either a hand drill or a press) so that the technician can easily and directly apply force from the drill to the fastener without having it slip off or breaking the bit.
