  Star washers are a type of washer meant to boost locking force by resisting nut torque and preventing the nut from unscrewing or splitting. Star washers include either internal or external tabs, allowing them to be used in a wider range of applications. Internal tabs run along the interior diameter, while external tabs run along the outside diameter, giving superior locking capabilities and making them excellent for applications requiring constant reliability. Boker's makes star washers to customer requirements, with over 2,000 commonly specified and hard-to-find materials, including metallic and non-metallic materials, to choose from. Low-carbon sheet steel, various spring steels, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, and nickel silver are among the metallic materials available. ABS, acetal, polyester, nylon, nylon MD, polycarbonate, fibre, polyethylene, and different NEMA grades are non-metallic material possibilities.

  Individual bolt load cells, known as DTIs , measure pretension created during tightening regardless of the bolt's torque resistance. A DTI is placed on one end of a bolt and tightened until the bumps are crushed to the point where a feeler gauge cannot be inserted all the way around, or until the Squirter® DTI has appropriately squirted out silicone. DTIs are fully independent of the bolt assembly's torque resistance, and because the compression of the DTI bumps can be seen, bolt installers are less likely to leave bolts with insufficiently compressed DTIs.

  A Center Bolt is an essential component of your suspension. The particular spherical head is designed to fit in the axle seat or block seat, as well as holding the leaf spring pack together. The torquing of the ubolt is crucial for the suspension's lifespan. Your vehicle's tracking is determined by centre bolts and stationary Spring Eye Bolts ( driving straight). Inspect for broken main leafs (eyes) or loose ubolts with a bent or broken centre bolt if you feel or see your rear axles are back or forward. It's a good idea to replace your ubolts when repairing bent or damaged centre bolts.

                         Shear Nuts are conical nuts with coarse threads that are used in permanent installations where it is important to avoid tampering with the fastener assembly. The way shear nuts are fitted gives them their name. Installing them does not necessitate the use of any special tools; nevertheless, removing them will be difficult, if not impossible. Each nut is made up of a conical part with a thin, threadless standard hex nut on top that breaks or shears off when torque surpasses a specified point on the nut. The finished product looks similar to a Tri-Groove or Trident Nut, but it lacks the grooves for installation and removal. Shear Nuts are often used to fasten various equipment and prevent unwanted removal on signs in hospitals, public areas, playgrounds, schools, and correctional facilities.
