Portuguese term or phrase: PORCAS FENADAS
Fente é uma linha de porcas fendadas importadas da França, que garantem a estabilidade de estruturas com frequente vibração. As fendas calibradas geram pressão constante sobre os filetes da rosca do parafuso, evitando a perda da tensão de aperto, independente do torque inicial, com um sistema de auto-travamento.
