Advantages of REALLOCK

Safety Wire has been the industry standard for securing hardware in high vibration environments for decades, despite its consistent challenges to design engineers and maintenance technicians. Some of the issues with safety wire include:

• Safety wire is time consuming to install

• Safety wire adds weight, which reduces payload increasing the effective cost of the aircraft, satellite or missile

• Safety wire requires special training for installation and inspection

• Safety wire presents a risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD) in both installation and removal

• Safety wire can damage components particularly with attach points

• Safety wire requires special tools to install

• Safety wire is location sensitive, and can be difficult or impossible to install when there is limited space

   

REALLOCK’s patented washers have a proven twenty-year history of design features that make them superior to safety wire:

• REALLOCK installs in a fraction of the time of safety wire; about the same amount of time it takes to add a washer to a bolt assembly.

• REALLOCK is only a fraction of the weight of safety wire.

• REALLOCK’s quicker installation and removal means it saves maintenance costs during the life cycle of the component

• REALLOCK requires no special training

• REALLOCK requires no special tools

• REALLOCK uses a redundant locking system

• REALLCOK can be easily inspected

• REALLOCK is not location sensitive

• REALLOCK removes the risk of FOD from wire clippings

• REALLOCK prevents damage to the mounting points

• REALLOCK provides greater design flexibility

• REALLOCK meets biochemical warfare requirements
