Solon Manufacturing is a leading manufacturer of washer solutions for the automation industry. When production relies on customized parts and components for automated solutions, our products provide a reliable and functional solution to automation processes. 

Maintain Bolt Preload

Solon’s Belleville Springs and Washers, when paired with a bolt, stud or nut, provide an optimally tight connection where high spring loads are desired. Our washers reduce bolted joint failures by maintaining the bolt preload. They are particularly useful where vibration, differential thermal expansion, relaxation, bolt creep and bolt yield are problematic. These features benefit industrial automation applications in the following ways:
  • No deformation or fatigue under normal conditions
  • Absorbs shock
  • Compensates for vibration
  • Predictable load-deflection

Prevent Bolted Joint Failures

Bolted joints fail in the automation industry can fail for a number of reasons:
  • Overloading leading to yield or fracture of the bolt or joint components
  • Fatigue failure of the bolt
  • Loss of load on the bolts due to DTE
  • Loss of load on the bolts due to yielding
  • Self loosening due to shock or vibration
  • Seal leaks due to loss of sealing stress

Applications that use our products include:

  • Packaging conveyors
  • Pallet wrappers, bagging equipment, case sealers
  • Thermoforming machines: cut sheet thermoformers, trim press thermoformers, rotary machines
  • Blister packaging machinery
  • Paper box machines: box folders, automatic packing machines
  • Bottle filler equipment
  • Robotics
  • Hoists
  • Cranes
