November 10, 2006

JENKINTOWN, PA - A full-color, twelve-page brochure detailing preload indicating washers manufactured by SPS Technologies Aerospace Fasteners Group is now available. Graphs illustrating load vs. compression and accuracy of preload indicating methods enables full understanding of preload indicating washer advantages. Listings for under nut parts, under bolt head parts and oversize parts are included. Brochure’s photos, illustrations, graphs and charts are easy to follow and facilitate washer selection.

Using SPS Preload Indicating Washers to achieve maximum preload allows designers to maximize joint strength. By gaining this advantage, smaller diameter fasteners or fewer fasteners can be used reducing weight without reducing joint reliability.
