Alternative to the traditional caulking nut

The innovation from Flaig and Hommel presents a groundbreaking alternative to the traditional caulking nut. Historically, securing components onto a grooved shaft necessitated the use of standard fastening methods, such as a caulking nut or a castle nut. The exhibitor has disrupted this norm by introducing the new FS®-R locking nut (see image, www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XcHEpmEDfQ), which serves as a superior substitute for conventional screw fasteners. The FS®-R lock nut incorporates an advanced gearing mechanism that significantly outperforms traditional screw connections in terms of security and reliability. The ingenious integration of the locking element within the FS®-R lock nut eliminates the need for additional labor-intensive steps, such as caulking the nut or inserting a cotter pin. This innovation streamlines the assembly and disassembly process, yielding a reduction in time and cost without compromising on safety.
