Star type lock washers have either internal or external teeth. Aircraft
engine acessories use the internal teeth type lock washers while the
hardware store variety generally have external teeth. My question is
this, is there any technical difference in their locking capabilities?

========================================
George-
Actually, there are some that have both internal and external teeth on the
same washer. My experience with star washers would suggest the following.
Internal teeth seem to be better at providing mechanical locking and
maintaining the preload of the bolted joint, as these teeth are actually under
the
nut's bearing surface and benefit from the full locking torque applied to the
bolted joint. These teeth actually get somewhat flattened out in the
tightening of the fastener.
External teeth seem to be better at cutting thru surface treatments (paint
and such) to establish and maintain a good electrical connection. These teeth
are often outside of the area of compression and teeth remain in a higher
pitch state. This would do little to maintain the mechanical integrity of a
bolted joint.

I am flying in my 5th winter with my 6A in Minnesota, and have had frozen
brakes frequently. If I taxi through any loose powder or even just a
dusting, I can expect a clunk when I touch down after that flight.
Obviously, the cause is from snow finding its way onto the brakes and
melting during taxi, and subsequently freezing after takeoff. I've tried
taxiing with NO brake usage, which is an interesting challenge in itself,
but no help. I believe that the tires have enough internal friction to heat
stuff up without any braking action. The brakes are not dragging, and the
wheels turn freely. I thought today about beginning the takeoff roll with
the brakes dragging to heat them just prior to take off, in an attempt to
dry them out. BTW, I got about 600 landings out of the first set of brake
pads, in case you might think I drag them unknowingly while taxiing (maybe
that is what I need to do?).
Landings can get interesting with one or both wheels locked, and today one
tire landed on pavement while the other was on hard pack snow. It is a
little unnerving to have to apply a bunch of rudder immediately at
touchdown! (I would think it would be even more fun in a taildragger.) In
one landing today, I dragged the left main for quite a while before it broke
free, owing partly to less than ideal runway conditions and partly to the
fact that it happened to be a greaser landing.
I wonder if there is some aerodynamic subtlety to my gear fairings which
causes snow to be drawn up inside the wheel fairings. I do notice that
black tire dust comes out of the top of the gear and gets on the belly. Do
others see this black dust up there?
What are other's snow and winter experience? (no cracks needed from the
SCAL group about moving away from the snow!)

--> RV-List message posted by: <gmcjetpilot@yahoo.com>
About 7.3 lbs for the 60 amp. If you are worried about weight go with the smaller
industrial ND alternators like Niagara Air Parts sells. They weigh about 6.1
lbs and the brackets are going to more compact (lighter).
The Niagara kit has everything for $275. Also most important, Niagara supplies
only NEW genuine ND alternator, not a rebuilt alternator with aftermarket brand
replacement parts (like Van sells).
The Niagara / Nippondenso (ND) alternator is rated at 40 amps, but if you rated
it like Van, it would be a 45 amp alternator. Not sure why Van calls his alternator
is 60 amps, it's a 55 amp alternator at 5000 rpm. Alternators do tend
to make more power at higher RPM's, but the standard rating is at 5000 rpm.
The quality control of Van's supplier, where he buys rebuilt alternators is a
little questionable. ND alternators are VERY reliable, but there have been many
"events" with rebuilt alternators from Van, like: DOA, fails in hours of use,
voltage regulator starts to act odd (unstable voltage control) and a few other
things. In 15 years of using ND alternators (in both cars and planes), I have
never had a problem and have 1000's of combined hours on them. However these
are all genuine ND alternators, not rebuilds.
Reading and talking to other builders it seems there is a disproportionate number
of problems with the ND alternators Van sells. In fact of the 4-5 problems
I know of, every one came from Van. Where Niagara has never had a return or
complaint in 8 years.
If a rebuild is done well, with all serviceable parts replaced, with best quality
parts (even aftermarket just good aftermarket), inspected, assembled and
tested with care, they can be OK. However the quality of many rebuilds are suspect.
Go to automotive message boards and read about all the people who buy rebuilt
alternators for there car and complain about how long they last, not long.
A new ND alternator (brand new original ND) is much better than a rebuild in
my opinion, if you can get them. Unfortunately the Suzuki Samurai NipponDenso
alternator Van sells can not be bought new from ND. So you have to pick your supplier
carefully.
