Taper Nut is an important accessory for scaffolding connection and fastening. The following is a detailed introduction:
Features
Angle adjustment ability: It has a conical structure and a taper inside, which can provide appropriate angle adjustment ability, so that the connector can achieve a more solid connection effect, thereby improving the stability and safety of the scaffolding.
Enhanced fastening force: Through its unique shape, it can provide a stronger torsion angle and torque, enhance the prevention measures for loosening and falling off, and ensure the strength and stability of the connector.
Good sealing performance: In some scaffolding connection parts that need to be sealed, the conical surface of the conical nut can cooperate with the corresponding conical hole or conical seal. By tightening the nut, while axial compression, radial sealing pressure will also be generated, thereby achieving a good sealing effect and preventing liquid or gas leakage.
Application scenario
Climbing formwork scaffolding: In climbing formwork construction, the external scaffolding and hanging scaffolding of the climbing formwork need to be connected and fixed with conical nuts. The conical nut can adapt to the angle changes and stress conditions of the climbing formwork during the climbing process, ensuring the stability and safety of the scaffolding.
Cantilever scaffolding: The connection between the cantilever beam of the cantilever scaffolding and the main structure of the building usually uses a conical nut. The conical nut can firmly fix the cantilever beam to the building and bear the weight of the scaffolding and the construction load.
Gate scaffolding: During the assembly of the portal scaffolding, the conical nut can be used to connect the vertical poles and horizontal poles of the portal frame, as well as the connection between the portal frame and other accessories. It can provide reliable fastening force to ensure the overall stability of the portal scaffolding.
Installation and use points
Choose the appropriate specifications: According to the type of scaffolding, the size of the rod and the stress conditions, choose the appropriate specifications of the conical nut. Make sure that the thread of the nut matches the screw rod, and its conical shape can meet the requirements of the installation environment.
Correct installation sequence: During installation, first pass the screw rod through the connected part, and then screw the conical nut into the screw rod. During the screwing process, make sure that the conical surface of the nut fits correctly with the conical surface of the mating part. Some auxiliary tools (such as positioning pins) can be used to help position and avoid installation deviation.
Tightening torque control: Due to the special shape of the conical nut, you need to pay attention to controlling the torque when tightening. If the torque is too small, a good tightening effect may not be achieved; if the torque is too large, the nut, screw or connected parts may be damaged. In general, the appropriate tightening torque can be determined according to the product manual or relevant standards, and a torque wrench can be used for operation.
