Using self-locking taps

Screw connections are generally made so that they can be loosened again. However,
accidental loosening, especially under dynamic stress, must be avoided. For this reason
it is often necessary to use additional locking devices. These are often expensive, they
can be used once only, or react critically to temperature changes.
Introduction to Emuge self-locking threads
is a tap design with an integrated locking feature. Standard metric bolts
Emuge self-lock
are used. The internal thread provides a self-locking connection, which can be used
repeatedly. It is not necessary to involve a secondary locking device (e.g. chemical,
nylon or mechanical). The
(metric) threads, because the thread contact stops the sideways movement. The special
design of the internal thread profile also provides a more even distribution of the
tightening stress over the whole thread length. The assembly is just as easy as with a
normal (metric) thread. There is no general applicable standard (e.g. DIN standard)
for the
