Vibration, shock, or temperature extremes can drive up warranty and service costs, impair quality or safety, and raise liability issues. Also important are fastener assembly costs, as well as service issues in the field where operators or mechanics may adjust vehicles and need access to reusable fasteners.

Fortunately, vehicle manufacturers such as Gehl Products - a Madison, South Dakota-based manufacturer of construction equipment, are taking advantage of a unique internal thread locking design that not only virtually eliminates warranty and service concerns related to the vibration and shock of travel but also enhances product quality, safety, ease of assembly, and facilitates necessary adjustments in the field. By solving vehicle design issues, some manufacturers are enjoying six figure total cost savings simply by changing to the self locking threaded fasteners.
