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 bolted...

Nord-Lock 254 SMO® washers EN 1.4547 or equivalent, surface hardened 254 SMO® is a high performance austenitic stainless steel (according to EN 1.4547) with greater mechanical strength and resistance against corrosion than most austenitic stainless steel grades. The material is resilient against pitting and crevice corrosion due to high contents of chromium, nickel, molybdenum and nitrogen. Nord-Lock 254 SMO® washers are specially designed for chloride rich processes and salt water solutions / atmospheres, i.e. environments where stainless steel washers made of EN 1.4404 are not suitable.
