Subject field(s)
  • Joining Elements (Mechanical Components)

An external tooth lock washer has teeth that extend radially outward to bite into the bearing surface. Like internal tooth lock washers, they are designed to prevent a nut or bolt head from loosening with the strut action of the teeth. They work best with larger screw or bolt heads. External tooth lock washers provide maximum torsional resistance.

OBS

external-tooth lock-washer: designation officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

CONT

The purpose of this switch is to avoid overflowing the laundry tub when the automatic washer is discharging its water. The switch is installed on the drain line between the laundry tub and laundry pump. Head pressure from the laundry tub activates the switch. Simultaneously a flow of water forming a loop from the pressure side of the pump through the switch bowl and returning to the pump intake keeps the switch contacts closed.(Pump runs continuously). When the laundry tub is completely empty the pump suction line takes in air. This pocket of air travels through the pump and through the return pressure loop. When the air enters the switch bowl, the pressure gives way to the pump suction side, thus pulling the switch contacts open(pump shuts off).

Preload indicating(PLI) washers consist of two concentric steel rings sandwiched between two close-tolerance washers that are heat treated to a minimum of 160, 000 psi and placed between the material and the nut, or under the bolt head, and become a permanent part of the installation. As the nut is tightened, it compresses the inner washer which is thicker than the outer washer, until the outer washer cannot be moved. This is the desired preload of the bolt.
