What are Standard Parts and Why JW Winco?

There are a lot of options in the market today when looking for machine components, elements, and parts. Why get Standard Parts from JW Winco and what do we mean when we say Standard Parts?

Hygienic Design Standard Parts

When we say “Standard Parts” we mean machine elements or machine components. Our Standard parts are used as the building blocks for machines and products in many different industries. 

We say, Standard because all our parts are standardized to common sizes in both inch and metric. We standardize our parts, so the engineers don’t have to customize each knob or handle for every project. Using standard parts makes it convenient and fast for design engineers to find parts by offering multiple different types and sizes. JW Winco also offers free CAD models for all of our parts to speed up the design process.

JW Winco offers a wide range of Standard Parts to allow the engineers and purchasers to order everything they need from one location. JW Winco's core standard parts are Adjustable Levers, Pull Handles, Hand Knobs, Indexing Plungers, Vibration Dampeners, Leveling Devices, Hand wheels, Crank Handles, Toggle Clamps and Casters & Wheels.

Parts like handles and knobs are found in every industry. You can find JW Winco products on packaging machines, automation machines, medical equipment, automotive accessories, marine accessories, staging equipment and a variety of others. Each industry requires different applications and specifications. JW Winco offers standard parts in plastic, steel, stainless steel, cast iron and aluminum to support each industry’s specific requirements. If a Winco product is used on food processing equipment stainless steel and hygienic design are extremely important. JW Winco released the Hygienic Design product family in late 2017 to complement our already expansive line of stainless-steel products.

JW Winco Now Offers Plastic Torque Limiting Wing Nuts

JW Winco, Inc., A Ganter Company, a leading supplier of standard industrial machine components, now has available EN 5320 Plastic Torque Limiting Wing Nuts.

These wing nuts are used when the manually applied torque is to be limited. “When turned clockwise, the torque of the wing nut triggers an ‘over-engagement’ when the specified torque is
reached. When tightening, this will ensure the maximum permissible torque is not exceeded,” said John Winkler, CEO, Office of the President at JW Winco. “When turned counter-clockwise, the torque needed for loosening will always be transmitted properly.”

The technopolymer plastic is glass fiber reinforced and temperature resistant up to 176 °F (80 °C). The wing nuts are available in either a black matte or orange matte finish.

JW Winco also offers GN 3663 Aluminum Torque Limiting Knurled Knobs.
