Lock plate for American Crane 9310

The lock plate 512817 functions as a mechanical retention component within the American Crane 9310. Its primary purpose is to secure nuts, bolts, and other fastening elements, preventing them from loosening due to the vibrations and dynamic loads experienced by the crane during operation. By providing this additional locking mechanism, the plate ensures that critical joints remain tight and stable throughout the machine's duty cycle.

This component is compatible with the American Crane 9310 and is installed at specific connection points where fastener security is required to maintain structural integrity. The part is designed to fit the standard mounting configurations for this model. Lock plates serve as a common engineering solution in heavy machinery to maintain the torque of threaded fasteners in environments where constant movement or vibration is present. They act as a physical barrier that restricts the rotation of the fastener head or nut relative to the assembly, which helps preserve the intended clamping force of the connection.
