MATERIAL
Turned and hardened steel.
ELASTIC RING
Steel spring wire.
FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS
DIN 6311 thrust pads are used to transmit clamping forces by means
of grub screws DIN 6332 (see page 636).
The retaining ring creates a simple and fast coupling between the grub
screw and the thrust pad.
They can be adapted on irregular or non-parallel surfaces and prevent
the rotating movement of the screw from being exerted directly on the
piece to be locked.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Insert the grub screw inside the thrust pad, by keeping the grub screw
inclined by a few degrees, in order to allow the retaining ring, inside the
thrust pad, to fit correctly into the groove at the grub screw end.
We suggest not to assemble the screw to the thrust pad by keeping the
latter on a plain surface to avoid exerting an excessive clamping force
which may damage the retaining ring. Keep the two components in your
hands during the assembly operation.
