Nord-Lock washers – when safety really matters 28 July 2017

The original Nord-Lock wedge-locking washers are recognised all around the world for their ability to secure bolted joints exposed to severe vibration and dynamic loads. With 35 years of market presence they now launch the ultimate proof of quality – Lifetime Warranty.

Application security and customer satisfaction The Lifetime Warranty guarantees the washers will stay in place and fulfil their function for the entire lifetime of that connection. “Offering a Lifetime Warranty Functionality at minus 50ºC – now independently approved One of the newest additions in this offering includes an extended temperature range for steel washers.

Nord-Lock steel washers have for a long time been used in cold climate applications but it was first until recently that the functionality in extremely low temperatures was independently tested and approved. The Swedish independent test institute Swerea KIMAB has, after extended testing, concluded that the mechanical properties of the Nord-Lock steel washers are the same at -50°C as at room temperature. The performance of the Nord-Lock steel washers at low temperatures has also been verified by TÜV with a vibration test at temperatures down to -46°C /-50°F (DEF STAN 00-35 Part 3, Issue 4).
Facilitated download of CAD files Yet another improvement is that customers can now download CAD files of Nord-Lock wedge-locking washers directly from the dimension list on the Nord-Lock website. The most common CAD formats are available.
