Fastening Solutions
Gala's range of Fasteners can be used on wide range of applications in a variety of industries
With the ever increasing demands placed on engineered products the importance of fastener security is paramount.
Whether your need is to provide security against vibration then the Gallock or safety washer products are for you, and if you have joints that need to be kept under tension then load washer products fills this need.
Anchor Bolts and Studs
Anchor bolts are designed to attach structural elements to concrete.
In our industry, anchor bolts are typically used to attach steel to concrete. One end is embedded into the concrete, while the opposite end is threaded to attach structural support
Gallock - Wedge Lock Washers
Gallock - Wedge Lock Washers ensure the integrity of fastener thread systems by using tension rather than friction, which is the basis of most traditional fastening methods. This provides security to the threaded systems.
​
Gallock - Wedge Lock Washers consists of two identical flat washers which have a set of cams on one side and a radial knurling on the other. These two washers are supplied glued together, in order to avoid any orientation mistake during assembly.
Safety Disc Washers
Gala Safety Disc Washer Series GS
Safety Washer GS is suitable for normal requirements and available for bolt sizes from M 1.6 to M 36.
​
Gala High Safety Disc Washer Series GVS
Safety Washer H can be used with high- tensile bolts. These are stronger safety disc washers having higher thickness for higher pre-tensioning loads. The outside and inside diameters as well as the serrations are same as GS series.
​
​Standard safety washer material is Spring Steel but also available in stainless steel, Inconel etc. Standard finish is Phosphate but other finishes such as zinc lamellar and electrolytic plating are available.
Load Washers
Conical Spring Washers are used to counteract the loss of preload of a bolted connection for bolts. They are most effective on axially loaded short bolts where they increase the axial compliance. These are highly stressed components and are therefore only recommended for static or infrequent varying load applications.
​
Nominal Bolt Size ranging from M2 - M30 and are available in a variety of materials and finishes.
​
​Standard material is Spring steel but also available in stainless steel. Standard finish is Phosphate but can be supplied zinc plated, zinc lamellar coating among others.
Slotted Spring Pins
Standard Sizes of Slotted Dowel pin considered as per ISO 8752.
​
Slotted spring pins consist of a single coil of spring steel or stainless steel with an open slot sufficiently wide to enable the pin to reduce in diameter as it is driven into a hole of appropriate size. The ends of the pin have a beveled chamfer.
They are designed for plain drilled holes but a countersink makes assembly easier, especially for the ISO 8752 type. Slotted pins are normally supplied in the heavy duty form to ISO 8752.
Gala have used their knowledge gained in three decades of producing disc spring products to extending their range to include fastening solutions for a variety of engineering needs.
