Nord-Lock Wedge-locking Technology

Nord-Lock's unique wedge-locking technology has been used extensively for 30 years worldwide to secure millions of bolted applications exposed to vibration and dynamic loads. The system is comprised of a pair of washers that has cams on one side and radial teeth on the opposite side. Since the cam angle '?' is greater than the thread pitch '?' a wedge effect is created by the cams, preventing the bolt from rotating loose. Nord-Lock washers maintain high clamp loads, are quick and easy to install and remove, and are reusable. The product range additionally includes the Nord-Lock wheel nut and the Nord-Lock combi bolt, both incorporating the same principle.

Superbolt Multi-jackbolt Tensioners (MJTs)

Superbolt multi-jackbolt tensioners (MJTs) is an ideal solution for larger size nuts and bolts. MJTs are designed as direct replacements for conventional nuts and bolts. Instead of having to generate enough torque to tighten an entire hex nut, MJTs break those torque requirements down by utilizing a series of hardened jackbolts threaded through the body of a round tensioner. This enables the user to generate the needed clamping load while using only hand or air tools for installation and removal.

Nord-Lock Production System includes rigorous internal testing, full traceability and always assures all products manufactured in-house are of the highest quality.
