PROXXON NUTS - INNOVATION IN COMMON THINGS
PROXXON NUTS - INNOVATION IN COMMON THINGS
At any construction site or during the repair, maintenance and installation of construction equipment, socket nut heads are often used, but not of the best quality. It is widely known that a loose nut or bolt causes a major accident. In addition, a poor-quality tool does not allow unscrewing rusted nuts and bolts, which leads to unjustified downtime of equipment, workshops, construction sites, factories, etc.
It is a common phenomenon when, due to poor-quality keys and heads, the corners and edges of the hex heads are torn off, which is why they can then be unscrewed only with the help of welding or a grinder.
The Proxxon German company, which manufactures tooling of the Proxxon industrial series for threaded connections, takes especially seriously the convenience, reliability and durability of the tool. For this, scientific research is constantly being conducted, which leads to the introduction of a variety of innovations aimed at improving the capabilities of the tool.
As an example, we will give several innovations implemented by Proxxon in such a seemingly banal thing as a nut head.
The main innovation is the Proxxon thread tightening system:
As you can see in the drawing, the edges of the head are not straight, but somewhat rounded, which ensures the transfer of force not to the corners of the nut or bolt, but to its edge, while the contact patch will have a much larger area. This practically eliminates the likelihood of breaking the corners of the nut with all the ensuing consequences. And that is not all!
- The high carbon content and special alloy allowed the heads to be made thinner than those of other manufacturers, while providing the necessary hardness and rigidity.
- The increased head height makes it easy to handle protruding bolt heads. If more depth is required, extended heads are also available.
- All heads have a tapered chamfer at the entrance and cylindrical grooves at the corners, which makes it easier to fit the head on a nut or bolt in tight spaces or even “blind”.
- All heads are double-nickel-plated, but the outer surfaces are also matt chrome to reduce the sliding effect.
- Innovative laser marking technology that allows the head size to be read even after 20 years of use.
Therefore, Proxxon nut sockets even exceed the requirements of industrial DIN / ISO standards and are suitable for all industries and production.
Test instruments is the official distributor of Proxxon and has been supplying these products to Kazakhstan since 2011. During all this time, there was not a single return or complaint about the quality of products, and this despite the fact that the main consumers are industrial enterprises.
