The self-loosening of nuts and fasteners is common in any type of dynamic loads, such as changes in temperature, intense vibrations, or even poor-fitting parts. Such loads often have short term frictionless situations which cause the bolts to unwind from the nuts.
Usually, the effects of dynamic loads such as vibrations take weeks or months to loosen the fasteners. However, in cases where the vibrations are intense, the effect can happen almost instantly.
Another thing that makes fasteners susceptible to loosening is their size. Smaller and lighter fasteners tend to loosen much faster. As such, if you happen to experience your fasteners loosening every now and then, it’s high time you get expert assistance from Fasteners Inc.
