VERBUS-RIPP® is a new development in the field of mechanical self-locking fasteners.
Alternative self-locking systems use a saw-tooth principle; teeth are set at an angle against the direction of unscrewing, during tightening these teeth cut into the parent material in order to anchor the fastener.
The VERBUS-RIPP® self-locking system features locking ribs which do not cut into the parent material. Instead of cutting, the special shaped VERBUS-RIPP® ribs use a cold forming principle to lock into the contact surface. This achieves a far more effective self-locking effect, without causing damage to the contact surface.
- The locking ribs cover the entire contact surface
- During the tightening process the mating material is "burnished/sleeked"
- Plastic deformation with compacting the surface
- The locking ribs limit the yield of connection, guaranteeing minimum creep and outstanding reusability
Features
- VERBUS-RIPP® underhead ribs
- Surface friendly locking system
- All purpose
- Easy to tighten
- Ideal for applications under vibration loading
Benefits
- Reduces the loss of clamping force
- Can eliminate need for additional washers, reducing cost and complexity
- No damage to the contact surface during removal due to unique underhead geometry
- All VERBUS-RIPP® variants are reusable
- Ideal for soft materials, joining thin sheet metals and heat treated surfaces
- Does not cut into the surface
- Meets all customer requirements
