Eccentric fastener

An eccentric fastener is a specific type of mechanical locking device characterized by its ability to securely close or secure moving parts of machinery and equipment. Its main purpose is to enable quick and reliable closure or connection of components without the need for tools or significant physical force. It operates on the principle of eccentricity, meaning that the axis of rotation of the fastener is not located in the center but slightly offset. This offset causes when the fastener is rotated, its part to move, thus firmly compressing or grasping the counterpart, ensuring the connection.

An eccentric fastener finds wide application in various industrial sectors, including engineering, automotive industry, construction, or even in the field of household appliances. Its popularity lies in its simplicity of use, reliability, and ability to withstand high loads without damaging the joint or requiring frequent maintenance. Given these characteristics, the eccentric fastener is an ideal choice for applications where frequent and rapid connection or disconnection of parts with guaranteed strength and safety of the connection is required.
