๐ SAFETY SATURDAY ๐๏ธ๐จ | LETโS TALK SAFETY WIRE.
We see a lot of questions about our safety wire application, so letโs break it down SIMPLE. ๐
1๏ธโฃ WHAT IS SAFETY WIRE?
Safety wire has been used in aerospace and motorsports for decades to help prevent critical fasteners from loosening due to vibration.
2๏ธโฃ WHY DO WE USE IT?
Your rear axle deals with vibration, road impacts, hard acceleration, and the demands of putting horsepower to the ground. Our safety wire application adds a mechanical safeguard to help prevent axle hardware from rotating loose.
3๏ธโฃ HOW DOES IT WORK?
Itโs all about DIRECTION. ๐ง
When installed correctly, safety wire is routed and tensioned so that any tendency for the fastener to rotate loose puts tension on the wire in the tightening direction.
ONE SIDE PULLS ONE WAY. THE OTHER SIDE PULLS THE OPPOSITE WAY. Thatโs the principle behind properly installed safety wire.
4๏ธโฃ WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Letโs be honest: when was the last time you checked your axle torque?
Between miles, vibration, hard riding, potholes, and the occasional hooligan behavior ๐, maintenance can get overlooked.
Safety wire provides an additional layer of protection against fastener rotation. It does NOT replace proper torque specifications, inspections, or routine maintenance.
5๏ธโฃ WHERE DOES OUR KNOW-HOW COME FROM?
Our team brings over 30 years of aerospace industry experience to the table, including work on components that have made their way into space on the Hubble Space Telescope.
That experience shapes how we approach engineering, manufacturing, and the details that matter.
THE BOTTOM LINE: We donโt believe the little details should be overlooked. We believe they should be engineered with purpose.
Ride hard. Ride smart. Check your hardware. ๐ค๐ฝ
