Nord-Lock wedge-locking products are recognized around the world for their ability to secure bolted joints exposed to severe vibration and dynamic loads.
This lock washer system cannot loosen because it creates a wedge underneath the bolt head/nut. It's an ideal solution for bolted joint applications where failure is not an option.
Nord-Lock wedge-locking technology secures bolted joints with tension instead of friction. The system has a pair of lock washers that has cams on one side and radial teeth on the other. Under extreme vibration or dynamic loads, when the bolt makes an attempt to loosen, it will positively lock the fastener.
Bolted joints fail for two reasons: spontaneous bolt loosening and slackening. Designers try to figure out which will have the biggest effect on the bolted joint and choose a solution to handle that one problem. With Nord-Lock X-series washers — you can count on one solution for both issues. You get bolt security without compromise.
