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. The Nord-Lock solution has been on the market for more than 35 years.
The range is constantly growing and the offering improved to meet market requirements. Some of the newest additions in the offering include Lifetime Warranty, extended temperature range and facilitated CAD downloads.
Facilitated download of CAD files
CAD files of Nord-Lock wedge-locking washers can now be downloaded directly from the dimension list on the Nord-Lock website.
Functionality at minus 50ºC - now independently approved
Nord-Lock washers have for a long time been used in cold climate applications but it was not until recently that the functionality in extremely low temperatures was independently tested. 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 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).
Lifetime Warranty as proof of reliability, performance and security
The Nord-Lock washers are now covered by a lifetime warranty that guarantees they will stay in place and fulfil their function for the entire lifetime of that connection. “Offering a lifetime warranty is a very clear way of showing that we have absolute confidence in our products” says Nord-Lock Group CEO Ola Ringdahl. “It’s proof that we genuinely believe that the quality of our products is the best in the industry”.
The Nord-Lock product catalogue with updated type guide can also now be downloaded.
