2015-11-23
On Nov. 04, U.S. ND Industries released a new Stay-Put® Washer that can increase the efficiency of the assembly process. Designed as a retention aid, Stay‑Put Washers are used to hold a fastener or multiple components in-place before final assembly.
Unlike plastic retaining washers, Stay‑Put Washers are metal, allowing for proper load distribution. Stay‑Put Washers exhibit a low installation force while still providing excellent retention of the washer to the threaded fastener.
Dry to the touch flexible polymer bonded to the inner surface of a washer at 120° intervals. This geometry helps keep the fastener centered in the washer opening and ensures a secure hold.
Under normal conditions the Stay‑Put Washer can be installed and removed five times or more without a significant loss of retaining force. No need to manually hold a washer in place while working over head or in hard to reach locations. Fasteners can now be pre-assembled and staged for final locking.
