Safety and Lock Wire

Safety wire, often known as lock wire, is a twisted wire used to secure fasteners and prevent them from loosening under vibration or stress. It is widely used to maintain the integrity of assemblies.

Standards for safety wire are established to ensure that the materials and application methods meet stringent reliability and performance criteria with specific wire diameters, limiting the number of items secured with a single wire, and proper wire twisting techniques. Products meeting these standards are rigorously tested and certified, providing assurance to maintenance teams.
