HOW OUR PRODUCTS ARE USED IN MECHANICAL FASTENERS

In our business, understanding the applications and ultimate use of our products is of vital importance.
It enables us to test and demonstrate the qualities of our washers in specific configurations !

Examples of fatigue tests

Fatigue tests with stress combinations, as illustrated in the arrangement shown here, have given the following results:
 For TREP® washers: resistance of assembly to 1 000 000 cycles
Alternative products: failure at 300 000 cycles maximum.

 

Document 1 These results have been confirmed by finite element simulations as shown in the document below.	Document 2 With a Trep washer, the quality of load distribution in the assembled parts can clearly be seen in the document below.
