The mining industry uses these washer stacks to secure replaceable wear plates in Jaw crushers. Twist the nut down until the compressed washers all fit into a “cup” and viola bolt is torqued and the bolt has additional springiness beyond just the steel of the bolt
I would agree with Todd replacement is best as these are technically “wear parts”. But sounds like the ability to do this job was redesigned to be costly and less repairable. Can you add an extension the rod and add an additional stack of washers in a more convenient location? Got a cross section of the area? _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
