The thread-lock FS Vario-Lock® from Flaig + Hommel GmbH is a screw thread-lock that allows variable positioning, extreme flexibility and versatility in securing screw threads.
The braking torque, based on the DIN EN ISO 2320 standard, can be defined individually according to customer requirements. Any special thread can be implemented at the time of manufacturing special purpose screws and bolts with external thread, as well as for any customer specific screw types.
The locking effect is achieved through parallel displacement of the thread flanks at 360° of the screw thread. The thread play is eliminated from the screw joints at this point in the counter thread, which results in a locking effect. The Vario-Lock® thread grips the counter thread flanks firmly. The Vario-Lock® thread flank acts like a spring, producing the locking torque as specified by DIN 2320.
