Characteristics of saddle washers

A saddle washer is a unique sealing element that can withstand tremendous pressure and moment due to its saddle-shaped structure. It is usually made of rubber or plastic and is characterized by corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, heat insulation, waterproofing, ing, and so on. Saddle washers can not only effectively relieve the deformation and stress of the pipeline connection but also reduce leakage and vibration to solve the sealing problem.

The structure and material of saddle washers

1. Structure: saddle-shaped washers are shaped like a "saddle" by the inner circle, outer circle, two inclined serrated sandwich compositions, the top of the top two sides of the sandwich shrugged, and the formation of two anti-loosening springs.

2. Material: saddle washers are usually made of high strength and good elasticity of plastic or metal materials, such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.

The principle of saddle-shaped washer anti-loosening

The principle of the saddle washer is to use its particular structure shape and material properties, the formation of elastic deformation, and friction in the fastener to resist loosening. Specifically, its anti-loosening mechanism has the following aspects.

1. Elastic deformation: When the fastener is subjected to external forces during use, the saddle washer will undergo elastic deformation, and the spring inside the washer will be pressed, resulting in an elastic retraction force, making the fastener tight to prevent loosening.

2. friction: saddle washers face rough holes, and the fastener surface forms a good friction fit, increasing the friction and making it more challenging to loosen the fastener.

3. Bayonet and locking: saddle washers in the fasteners on the mounting position of the design of the bayonet so that its fastening is not easy to loosen; in the tightening of the fixed, not only is the locking but also the compression of the fixed force has been strengthened.

The saddle washer use precautions

1. Select the appropriate type: When using saddle washers, the selection should be based on the fastener specifications and the unique requirements of the type to prevent mismatch and failure.

2. Correct installation method: To ensure that the saddle washer plays the effect of anti-loosening, it should be installed correctly to ensure that its bayonet position and fasteners have no gap and accurate position.

3. Inspection and replacement: Regular inspection of fasteners, such as using saddle washers found to be poor, should be replaced promptly.

The use of saddle washers

1. Compressor and pipeline connection: In the compressor and pipeline connection, due to the pressure and vibration of the two in the work of the larger, we often need to use saddle washers for connection. At this time, saddle washers can play a role in alleviating the deformation and pressure of the pipeline and, at the same time, can realize a good seal.

2. water pipeline: in the installation and maintenance of water pipelines, due to the need for frequent dismantling and installation of pipeline connections, the use of ordinary seals makes it challenging to achieve a good sealing effect. Saddle washers have good elasticity, and plasticity can be freely deformed to adapt to the different angles of the connecting pipes so that the pipeline connection achieves a perfect seal.

3. some machine tools: in some machine tools, due to the connection of components needed to withstand heavy pressure and vibration, the use of saddle washers can play a good role in alleviating, effectively preventing, and solving the problem of leakage and oil leakage.

4. Hydraulic system: In the hydraulic system, saddle washers are usually used to connect the hydraulic pump and hydraulic cylinder piping, which can relieve pressure and vibration and achieve accurate sealing to ensure the regular operation of the hydraulic system. Saddle washers have good elasticity and plasticity and can be freely deformed to adapt to the different angles of the connecting pipe, effectively alleviate pipe deformation and stress, and solve the sealing problem in many industries and with a wide range of applications.

Summarize: Saddle washers are widely used. Their anti-loosening mechanism is through their special structure, shape, and material properties, which effectively resist the natural loosening of fasteners. In reality, selecting the right type, correct installation, and regular inspection are also the keys to ensuring normal use.
