JW Winco Inc, a Ganter company and supplier of standard industrial machine components, has added EN 5320 plastic torque limiting wing nuts to its range of products.
Available worldwide, these wing nuts are used when the manually applied torque is to be limited. When turned clockwise, the torque of the wing nut triggers an ‘over-engagement’ when the specified torque is reached. When tightening, this will ensure the maximum permissible torque is not exceeded. When turned counter‑clockwise, the torque needed for loosening will be transmitted properly.
The technopolymer plastic is glass fibre reinforced and temperature resistant up to 176°F (80°C). The wing nuts are available in either a black or orange matte finish. Also available from JW Winco are the GN 3663 aluminium torque limiting knurled knobs.
JW Winco is a manufacturer and distributor of inch and metric standard parts, based in New Berlin, Wisconsin, USA. The company offers an extensive selection of hand knobs, spring, ball and indexing plungers, jig, fixture and fastening components, toggle clamps, universal joints, and metric tools for the industrial and commercial equipment industries.
