Switch Locking Screw Mechanism Prevents Fatigue Failure of Thumb Screws

  • Kowa’s VM series features a newly designed switch locking screw mechanism that prevents thumb screws from falling off by utilizing a fixing screw that does not rotate in a set position.
  • The thumb screw locks into place by sliding the fixing screw to the right side.
  • It can then be detached by sliding the fixing screw to the left side.
