spirallåses

Spirallåses, also known as spiral locks or helical locks, are a type of fastener used to secure two or more objects together. They consist of a threaded shaft, typically made of metal, with a helical groove or channel running along its length. This groove is designed to engage with a corresponding helical groove or protrusion on the object being secured.

The mechanism of a spirallåses relies on the principle of interference fit and the inherent strength of the helical form. When the spirallåses is inserted and rotated, the helical shape of the fastener forces its way into the material, creating a tight and secure connection. The interlocking nature of the helical grooves prevents rotational movement and thus resists loosening. This type of fastener is often used in applications where vibration or stress is a concern, as the helical design provides excellent resistance to loosening compared to traditional threaded fasteners.

Spirallåses can be found in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and hardened steel, depending on the intended application and the environment in which they will be used. They are commonly employed in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction. Their ability to create a durable and tamper-resistant joint makes them a valuable component in many engineering and manufacturing processes. The effectiveness of a spirallåses is often dependent on the precise matching of the fastener's helix angle and pitch to that of the receiving component.
