Lock plate for American Crane 9310

The lock plate, part number 401128, serves as a mechanical fastener used to secure various assemblies within the American Crane 9310. Its primary function is to lock nuts, bolts, or shafts in a fixed position, preventing them from rotating or vibrating loose while the machine is under load. By maintaining the integrity of these connections, the plate ensures that critical components remain properly aligned and fastened during lifting operations.

This component is specifically designed for integration into the American Crane 9310 model. It provides a reliable method for locking hardware in place, which is necessary for maintaining the structural stability of the crane assembly. Proper installation of this plate helps prevent the unintentional loosening of fasteners that can occur in heavy machinery environments.

In crane systems, lock plates are used to provide a positive mechanical stop for threaded fasteners. They are typically installed after a nut or bolt has been tightened to the specified torque. By engaging with the fastener and the surrounding structure, the plate prevents the fastener from backing out, thereby maintaining the intended clamping force across the joint.
