Fasteners are indispensable components in mechanical design and are widely used in all walks of life. In order to ensure the normal use of fasteners and extend their service life, they need to be maintained regularly.
Fasteners will be affected by various factors during use, such as vibration, impact, corrosion, etc. These factors will gradually lead to problems such as loosening, deformation, corrosion, etc. of fasteners. If not maintained in time, it may cause mechanical failure and even cause safety accidents.
Notes on daily maintenance:
- Regular inspection: The connection status of fasteners should be checked regularly to ensure that the fasteners are not loose or deformed. For fasteners that are often subjected to vibration or impact, the inspection cycle should be shortened.
- Cleaning and maintenance: The surface of fasteners should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt, grease, rust, etc. For fasteners used in humid environments, attention should be paid to moisture and waterproofing.
- Cleaning and maintenance: The surface of fasteners should be cleaned regularly to remove dirt, grease, rust, etc. For fasteners used in humid environments, attention should be paid to moisture and waterproofing.
- Replace damaged fasteners: If fasteners are found to be damaged or deformed, they should be replaced with new ones in time.
Specific methods of daily maintenance：
- Bolts and screws: Bolts and screws should be tightened with a wrench or socket wrench, and the threads should be checked for integrity. For bolts and screws that are often subject to vibration or impact, anti-loosening washers or self-locking nuts should be used.
- Nuts: Nuts should be tightened with a wrench or socket wrench, and the nuts should be checked for integrity. For nuts that are often subject to vibration or impact, anti-loosening washers or self-locking nuts should be used.
- Washers: Washers should be checked for integrity and ensure that there is sufficient contact area between the washers and the connecting parts. Rivets: Rivets should be checked for firmness and the rivet heads should be free of cracks or damage.
Daily maintenance of fasteners is essential to ensure the normal operation of machinery and extend its service life. A reasonable maintenance plan should be formulated according to specific application scenarios and requirements, and fasteners should be inspected and maintained regularly.
