Key Features

Optimal Material Condition for Reliable Performance

The NASM MS20995 Aerospace Safety Wire is meticulously supplied in a soft-annealed condition, meaning it has been thermally treated to enhance its ductility, making it sufficiently malleable for installation.
Annealing adjusts the microstructure of the wire, consequently reducing its hardness and increasing flexibility, allowing for easier manipulation and twisting during the safetying process. Despite its malleable nature, the MS20995 wire retains enough tensile strength to withstand the mechanical loads and vibrations typically encountered during service.
Adhering rigorously to Aerospace Standards, the wire features consistent dimensions and finish, ensuring reliability and functionality. This balance of pliability for ease of use and robust strength for operational integrity establishes the MS20995 wire as an optimal choice for securing components in high-stress aerospace applications.

Applications

The versatility of lockwire extends far beyond the critical realms of Aerospace and Defense—it is an unsung hero in numerous other sectors.

Common uses include securing important fixtures and fittings against the loosening effects of vibration and dynamic forces, such as in agricultural machinery, or even within the household setting to ensure safety and maintenance of various appliances.

Lockwire & Breakaway Wire: Ensuring Safety Across Fields

Lockwire, or safety wire, is renowned for its role in “safetying” – a term describing the secure fastening of nuts, bolts, and hardware on aircraft to prevent them from loosening during operation. This is crucial in applications where integrity and reliability are non-negotiable, such as in Aerospace and Defense, where the slightest hardware malfunction could have dire consequences.

Breakaway wire, often referred to as shear or witness wire, is designed with a dual purpose. While it secures components to prevent accidental disengagement, its material properties allow it to break away cleanly in emergencies, providing an additional layer of safety.

Typical breakaway wire applications include securing the pins in fire extinguisher handles, emergency gear releases, and other safety-critical mechanisms.

These safety wires, including lockwire, find their way into thousands of everyday applications. From the domestic domain to the industrial workspace, and throughout the diverse environments of farm equipment management, lockwire stands as a testament to ingenuity, ensuring operations run smoothly and safely without the shadow of unwelcome surprises.
