the future, Continental-Aero is excited to announce
new equipment additions to support our continued
commitment to quality. SCHATZ® “Analyze” system
(including SCHATZ® Vibration Tester) to evaluate
tightening characteristics of mechanical fasteners:
torque-tension, co-efficient of friction, clamp load and
prevailing torque. New, updated plating thickness
analysis equipment is also being added to further our
testing capabilities. Continental-Aero is part of the
TRAMEC LLC group, and shares their belief that having
the right equipment is key to being a leader in the field.
As the recognized industry leader in nylon insert
locknuts and a major supplier of all-metal locknuts and
hex nuts, Continental-Aero has added additional product
offerings to complement their existing lines.
AERO-FLEX , our flexible all-metal prevailing torque
locknut is currently available in light hex patterns.
Appropriate for use in high temperatures and high
vibration applications, these locknuts offer greater
re-usability than standard all-metal locknuts. Additional
patterns and sizes will be coming soon.
