A fastening tool according to the invention includes: a female screw member (10) having an inverse screw that is fixed to the first member (1); a collar bolt (11) that is screwed with the female screw member (10); a fastening bolt (27) that is inserted into a center hole (19) of the collar bolt (11) from the second member side (2) and rotates the collar bolt (11) through a torque transmitter (25), thereby moving the collar bolt to a position colliding with the second member (2); and a fastening nut (33) that is fixed to the first member (1). An earth claw (21) protruding toward the second member (2) is formed at an outer periphery of an end surface of the collar bolt (11) facing the second member. The earth claw (21) is configured to bite into the second member (2) in an axial direction due to axial force generated by screwing the fastening bolt (7) with the fastening nut (33), thereby breaking an insulating coating layer (3) and thus ensuring electrical conduction.

A plug assembly configured for installation in a hammer assembly, the plug assembly comprising a cylindrical plug and an anti-rotation component. The cylindrical plug may include a plug head and a plug body. The cylindrical plug may include a receiving feature located in the plug head. The anti-rotation component may include a first locking feature and a second locking feature. The first locking feature may be configured to fixably engage with the receiving feature. The second locking feature may be configured to engage with the hammer assembly.

The present invention relates to a fastening arrangement for fastening a component A to a component B with automatic tolerance compensation between the components A and B. The fastening arrangement comprises a fixable base element into which a mounting screw can be screwed via a first thread pair, and an adjusting element with an external thread that can be screwed into the base element via a second thread pair, wherein a first and a second anti-rotation safeguard are provided between the base element and the adjusting element, wherein said anti-rotation safeguards can be used to prevent detachment of the adjusting element from the base element during transport as well as locking of the adjusting element with the base element.

A male fastener, female fastener, and a plunger that is adapted to secure the female fastener to the male fastener, and to prevent unwanted loosening of the female fastener from the male fastener. The male fastener includes a shaft that may optionally include a plurality of protruding elements that extend outwardly from an external surface of the shaft. The protruding elements may be radially positioned in rows around a circumference of the shaft, to create a channel between the rows of protruding elements. The channel is adapted to receive a corresponding thread located within an aperture of the female fastener. The plunger is adapted to be inserted into a trench located between a set of protruding elements (or into multiple trenches located between multiple protruding elements). The plunger prevents the female fastener from rotating around the shaft in a direction towards the bottom portion of the male fastener.

A fastener assembly is provided and includes a fastener member and a washer member. The fastener member includes an end, an opposing head, and an elongated threaded body portion extending therebetween. The threaded body defines a center axis. The head includes a pawl arm having a pawl tooth and a flange. The washer member includes an axial aperture formed therethrough and a lock tab extending therefrom. The lock tab is configured to be received within a recess defined in a substrate member to rotationally fix the washer member relative to the substrate member. The washer member further includes a plurality of lock teeth. The pawl tooth is configured to intermesh with the lock teeth to allow rotation of the fastener member relative to the washer member in a first direction about the center axis, and substantially prevent rotation in an opposite second direction about the center axis.

A tie nut of a formwork tie for connecting two formwork elements is secured on a tie rod to prevent inadvertent rotation by way of a form fit coupling that can be axially made to engage therewith.

A method for preloading a bearing includes releasably, threadably, and directly attaching an attaching member to a circumferential outside surface of an exposed end of a threaded shaft of an axle or spindle. A frame is axially separated from, and coupled to, the attaching member. A plurality of extensions extends from the frame axially past the attaching member toward the wheel hub assembly. An adjustment mechanism moves the frame and the plurality of extensions axially towards the wheel hub assembly to contact the wheel hub assembly and/or the bearing to apply a preload to the bearing within the wheel hub assembly.
