Lockwasher for Terex BT4792

The 222-00028-9 lockwasher is a mechanical component used to maintain tension in bolted assemblies. This specific part features a 1/4 inch internal diameter and a zinc-plated finish. It is utilized in the front bumper extension frame assembly of the Terex BT4792 crane to ensure that fasteners remain secure under operational conditions.

Lockwashers are designed to exert spring force between a nut and the mating surface. This force helps to prevent the loosening of threaded fasteners that can occur due to mechanical vibrations or thermal expansion and contraction. By maintaining this tension, the lockwasher ensures that the components of the bumper assembly stay firmly in place throughout the service life of the machine. The zinc plating serves as a protective layer for the metal surface. These components are standard hardware in various heavy machinery systems where maintaining the integrity of bolted connections is required to prevent hardware from backing out during use.
