Part #112147

The locking separator nut, specifically designed for use on Reedrill SK series, Cat MD Series, Sandvik QXR, and DR500 range rigs in the open-cut mining industry It serves a critical role in retaining the separator filter securely within the Drill Rigs High Pressure Compressor Receiver Tank. This nut and insert combination offer remarkable functionality. The insert spins freely by hand onto the bearing surface as a single unit, simplifying the installation process. Once torqued, the insert expands, forming a tight plastic cushion that firmly secures the nut and bolt together, as well as seals the connection, minimizing leakage in liquid and gaseous seal applications. Beyond its sealing capabilities, the innovative design of this nut also acts as an effective dampener in the presence of vibrations, contributing to enhanced operational stability. Its ability to mitigate vibration and provide a secure seal makes it an ideal choice for applications in the open-cut mining industry where drilling rigs are subjected to challenging conditions. The locking separator nut offers a reliable and versatile solution for retaining separator filters in place within the compressor receiver tank. Its unique design not only ensures a tight seal and minimizes leakage but also contributes to increased operational efficiency and stability in the demanding environment of open-cut mining.
