Since the Nord-Lock Group began operations in 1982 we have focused on providing the world’s most effective bolt securing systems. Our products are based on leading wedgelocking technology and are recognized for their ability to safely secure bolted joints exposed to severe vibration and dynamic loads. When you choose Nord-Lock you do not only choose a supplier or a manufacturer, you also benefit from a partner­ ship with an expert in bolted joint technology. Our global team of sales engineers work with our clients to solve bolt securing problems in the most demanding applications. Nord-Lock...

Over the years, Nord-Lock washers have been rigorously tested and approved by independent institutes as well as certification authorities. Proven in Junker vibration test The Junker test, according to DIN 65151, is considered the most severe vibration test for bolted connections. During the test, the joint is exposed to transverse movements underneath the bolt head / nut, while the clamping force is continuously measured. Proven according to NASM impact & vibration test The National Aerospace test, according to NASM 1312-7, is a test method originally developed by the U.S. military to test...

Nord-Lock stainless steel washers EN 1.4404 (AISI 316L) or equivalent, surface hardened EN 1.4404 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. This stainless steel also has extra low carbon content in order to reduce the risk of chromium-carbide precipitation. EN 1.4404 is one of the most commonly used stainless steel grades and Nord-Lock washers made of EN 1.4404 are suitable for most applications where no chlorides or acids are present.
