FAQs
The HYTORC J-Washer is an enhanced version of the HYTORC Reaction Washer, featuring a locking feature that prevents loosening of pre-loaded fasteners under dynamic loads. The addition of a ridge band on the surface with a knurled design ensures the nut remains locked when torque is applied.
The J-Washer's knurled surface and locking design are strategically placed to prevent loosening of pre-loaded fasteners, particularly under dynamic conditions. The design has been verified through industry-standard testing, including the Junker test, simulating transverse forces that typically cause loosening.
The J-Washer provides outer reaction lobes that safely engage with a socket driver or reaction plate to brace the reaction forces during torque operations. This eliminates the need for a separate reaction arm, reducing pinch points and significantly lowering the risk of hand injury.
The unique design of the J-Washer, combined with HYTORC Torque Tools, offers unmatched efficiency in bolting operations and reduces job time. Its locking feature ensures that pre-loaded fasteners remain secure, providing a reliable and efficient bolting solution.
HYTORC J-Washers are manufactured from AISI 4140 low alloy steel, which is hardened and tempered for superior strength. The washers are finished with black oxide for corrosion protection, making them suitable for harsh structural and industrial applications.
