Square flat pad, also commonly known as square flat pad or square gasket, is a mechanical component mainly used to provide support and distribute pressure between connecting parts (such as bolts, screws, etc.) and the connected parts, to protect the surfaces of the connecting parts and the connected parts from damage, and to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection. The following is a detailed introduction to the square flat pad:
1, Structural characteristics
1. Shape and size:
The shape of a square pad is square or rectangular (in a broad sense, it can also include other quadrilateral shapes, but usually refers to a square), with four sides of equal length or designed according to specific requirements.
In terms of size, the thickness, side length, and other parameters of the square flat pad will be determined based on the actual application scenario and the size of the connecting components.
2. Material:
The materials of square flat pads are diverse, commonly including metal (such as steel, stainless steel, copper, etc.), plastic, rubber, etc.
The selection of materials depends on factors such as working environment, stress conditions, and corrosion resistance requirements.
3. Surface treatment:
In order to improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the square flat pad, surface treatment such as galvanizing, painting, etc. may be carried out.
2, Function and Function
1. Disperse pressure:
The square flat pad can disperse the pressure generated by bolts or screws during the fastening process, preventing damage to the surface of the connecting and the connected parts.
2. Increase contact area:
By increasing the contact area, the square flat pad can improve the stability of the connection and reduce the looseness or failure of the connection caused by insufficient contact area.
3. Surface protection:
The square flat pad can protect the surface of the connected component from direct compression and wear, extending its service life.
4. Adjust the gap:
In some cases, square flat pads can also be used to adjust the gap between the connecting piece and the connected piece, ensuring the tightness of the connection.
3, Application Fields
Square flat pads are widely used in various fields such as mechanical manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, construction engineering, electronic equipment, etc. In mechanical manufacturing, it is an indispensable auxiliary component between the connecting part and the connected part; In automobile manufacturing, it is used for the assembly of components such as engines and chassis; In construction engineering, it may be used for connecting steel structures, concrete structures, etc.
4, Selection and Installation
1. Selection:
When choosing a square flat pad, it is necessary to consider factors such as the size of the connecting parts, stress conditions, and working environment to ensure the rationality and applicability of the selection.
2. Installation:
The square flat pad should be installed correctly between the connecting piece and the connected piece, ensuring that its contact surface with the connecting piece and the connected piece is flat and tight.
During the installation process, it is necessary to avoid twisting, deformation, and other situations that may affect the effectiveness of the square flat pad.
