Shplint – fastener
Shplint is a fastener, which is made by bending the wire of the semi -oval section, which has a loop at the base called the ear or head. The longitudinal part of the codium is formed by two ends of the wire after the bend, and one leg is shorter than the other. This is done for the convenience of breeding them to the sides after installation.
Shplint, as a rule, performs one of two functions. If the acting forces are not large, then he, along with the puck, acts as a stop, for example, hinders the loss of brake pads in the car or the wheel axis in the wheelchair. The other function of the use of Shplint consists in the stopping of the fastener nut, so that it does not spin in the mechanisms that large forces affect, but for this the nut should be coronet. In this case, the cobblestone passes through the hole in the rod and the slot. Both ends are divorced to the sides and do not allow the nut to shift relative to the rod.
Clicks are easily collected and versed, though re -use is prohibited, due to the violation of the integrity of the structure. Due to the cost and accessibility of Shplint himself, this is not a problem. In many stores or markets, cords of all kinds of shapes and sizes are sold. But it is worth paying special attention to the quality of the codes themselves. As a rule, the quality of the metal is determined by GOSTs. For example: Shplint 5×28 GOST 397-79-this means that Shplint is made of low-carbon steel, without coating. Has a conditional diameter of 5mm and a length of 28 mm. Or Shplint 5×28.3.036 GOST 397-79B-this Shplint is similar to the first example, only made from the material of the third group-brass, has a copper-nickel coating.
