Zoomlion Concrete Pump Stop Pad GB858 φ 60 1040300216

The locking washer on the mixing half-shaft nut of a Zoomlion concrete pump truck serves specific functions and plays a crucial role in the mixing process. Here is a description of its functionality:

1. Anti-loosening Mechanism: The primary function of the locking washer is to prevent the mixing half-shaft nut from loosening during operation. It acts as a mechanical lock that provides resistance against rotational forces and vibrations, maintaining the nut's tightness. This anti-loosening mechanism ensures the stability and integrity of the mixing half-shaft assembly during the mixing process.

2. Enhanced Security: The locking washer adds an extra layer of security to the mixing half-shaft nut. It helps to prevent accidental loosening or disengagement of the nut, which could potentially lead to equipment malfunctions or safety hazards. The presence of the locking washer provides peace of mind and contributes to the overall safety and reliability of the concrete pump.

3. Load Distribution: The locking washer assists in distributing the load and forces exerted on the mixing half-shaft nut. It helps to evenly spread the applied forces across the washer and the nut, minimizing stress concentrations. This load distribution helps to reduce the risk of premature wear and damage to the nut and associated components, ensuring the durability and longevity of the mixing system.

4. Vibration Dampening: The locking washer can absorb and dampen vibrations generated during the mixing process. It acts as a cushioning element that helps to reduce the impact of vibrations on the nut and the overall stability of the mixer assembly. This vibration dampening capability contributes to a smoother and more efficient mixing operation.

5. Easy Maintenance and Replacement: The locking washer is designed for easy maintenance and replacement. It can be easily accessed and removed when necessary, allowing for inspection, lubrication, and replacement if required. This ease of maintenance ensures that the locking washer can be properly maintained, contributing to the long-term functionality of the mixing half-shaft assembly.
