The proven original

Since the Nord-Lock Group began operations in 1982 we have focused on providing the worlds most effective bolt securing system. 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: The worlds most effective bolt securing system.

Nord-Lock secures bolted joints with tension instead of friction. 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 is the optimum choice for critical bolted joints.

Over the years, Nord-Lock products have been rigorously tested and approved by independent institutes as well as certication 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. Vibration test

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 connections resilience against impact and vibration.

Fig 2: Drawing of the test rig. The assembled parts are vibrated vertically and the joints are subjected to two impacts per cycle. The impacts are parallel to the bolt. The arrow displays the direction of vibration during the test. After testing, the fasteners are inspected for rotation.
Load cycles

Fig 1: The Junker test shows that Nord-Lock safely secured the bolted connection; only a limited amount of tension is initially lost due to normal settlements. The wedge-locking function is veried through the clear increase in tension during untightening. All other bolt locking methods in the test failed to prevent loosening of the joint.

Nord-Lock washers are proven as a safe bolt securing system according to NASM 1312-7 tests performed by the independent organisation Det Norske Veritas (DNV). If you wish to perform your own real-life testing and evaluation of Nord-Lock for your application, you can order samples through Maryland Metrics.

Nord-Lock washers are proven as a safe bolt securing system according to DIN 65151 tests performed by the independent research organisations IMA and CETIM. In addition, NordLock personnel performs over 10,000 live Junker vibration tests around the globe every year. Would you like to see a live demonstration? Contact Maryland Metrics.

Widely used & globally approved

Nord-Lock is a high end product with documented success in many industries. Our products are approved by several industry standards and specified by numerous international companies. Industries where Nord-Lock washers are used Nord-Lock washers are used in industries such as: energy, transportation, offshore, mining and quarrying, construction and bridge building, manufacturing and processing, ship building, forestry and agriculture, heavy vehicles, and military. The number of industries that use Nord-Lock products is continuously growing. Often joints do not start to loosen until an application is in regular use, therefore Nord-Lock is commonly retrofitted during maintenance, repair and overhaul procedures. Certicates & approvals The most prominent of our certificates are: AbP (Allgemein bauaufsichtliches Prfzeugnis) DIBt (Deutsche Institut fr Bautechnik) DNV (Det Norske Veritas) EBA (Eisenbahn-Bundesamt) TV (Technischer berwachungsVerein) Quality & environmental assurance ISO 9001 ISO 14001 Licenced by Drken to perform Delta Protekt surface coating in-house RoHs, ELV and Reach compliant Full traceability For more information or a complete list of certificates and approvals, please visit our website or contact your nearest Nord-Lock representative. 4

Traceability Nord-Lock products are rigorously tested in all steps of production to verify that the quality requirements are met. Each batch is assigned a control number which ensures full traceability and confirms that the product is a genuine Nord-Lock article. The control number is printed on the package as well as on every washer pair, enabling full traceability down to first assembly even when using bin systems for fastener supply.

With implementation during 2011, every washer pair will be laser marked with the Nord-Lock brand name, the control number and a type code.

Using Nord-Lock washers

Nord-Lock washers are easy and effective to use while ensuring structural security for applications exposed to vibration and dynamic loads. Installing the washers The pre-assembled washers are installed in pairs, cam face to cam face. Nord-Lock recommends lubrication when possible. Tightening Tighten Nord-Lock with standard tools according to the guidelines (on page 9-11). Tightening guidelines for other bolt grades are available through your Nord-Lock representative. Untightening Untightening Nord-Lock is as simple as tightening. Note that since the locking function is not based on increased friction, the untightening torque is generally lower than the tightening torque. Therefore it is not possible to measure offtorque as verification of locking function. Reusing Nord-Lock Nord-Lock washers can normally be reused. As with all fasteners, they should be inspected for wear before reassembly. Make sure that the washers are reinstalled correctly cam face to cam face. Nord-Lock recommends lubrication of fasteners before reuse in order to minimize changes in friction conditions.

Possible to verify the locking function

When untightening a bolt secured by Nord-Lock, check that sliding occurs between the cam faces.

After disassembly, impression marks must be visible on both the fastener and the contact surface.

When the two criteria above are met, you have veried the locking function of the Nord-Lock washers. Utilize the advantages of lubrication Nord-Lock recommends the use of a high quality, anti-seize lubricant as it improves the tightening results. It is especially beneficial for large sized bolts and stainless steel applications. The Nord-Lock bolt securing system provides safe locking in both dry and lubricated conditions. Benefits of lubricated fasteners include: Improved reusability Reduced friction and deviation Facilitated assembly and disassembly Reduced torsion stress due to minimized thread friction Avoided galling and thread seizure Additional protection against corrosion

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.

Temperatures NORD-LOCK washers have similar temperature characteristics as bolts/nuts of corresponding material. The hardness of NORD-LOCK steel washers decreases at temperatures above 200C. Stainless steel (A4) washers start to degrade at temperatures above 500C. For applications up to 700C we recommend our Inconel 718 washers.

Lubrication NORD-LOCK recommends the use of a good lubricant (e.g. GTP600 or Molykote 1000) in order to reduce friction, minimize preload deviation and protect against corrosion.

Calculation of load area The load area [mm2] under the washer must be larger than the clamp load [N] divided by the yield point [N/mm2] of the material. Load area [mm2] > Clamp load [N] Yield point [N/mm2]

Reuse NORD-LOCK washers can normally be reused. However, for high temperature applications, reuse is not recommended. Always lubricate fasteners before reusing!

ZINC FLAKE COATING DELTA PROTEKT


APPLIED ON NORD-LOCK STEEL WASHERS
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE ELV compliant (EU directive 2000/53/EC) RoHS compliant (EU directive 2002/95/EC)

COATING SPECIFICATION

Zinc and aluminium based inorganic surface coating: Base coat KL100 (according to EN ISO 10683). Silvery / matt grey colour. Top coat VH 302 GZ. A water based and transparent seal.

APPLICATION TECHNIQUE

Dip spin The method offers an evenly applied micro layer. Furthermore; the use of a non-electrolytically applied surface treatment eliminates the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. After dip spin, the washers are heated in order to cure the coating.

CORROSION RESISTANCE

Endures a minimum of 600 hours of salt spray test in accordance with ISO 9227 and DIN 50021. The coating provides cathodic protection and also a barrier effect.

TEMPERATURE TOLERANCE

Temperatures above 180C affect the corrosion resistance according to Drken. sensitive environments such as clean rooms, food processing facilities, hydraulic / engine oil. Therefore NORD-LOCK requirements for high purity (no loose particles). Contact NORD-LOCK for product samples and further technical advice.

Nord-Lock joint guide


Tapped holes Nord-Lock washers safely lock the bolt against the underlying surface.

Counter bores The outer diameter of regular Nord-Lock washers is designed for counter-bore holes according to DIN 974, i.e. the washers fit under the head of standard bolts.

Through holes As for all locking washers, through holes require two pairs of Nord-Lock washers one pair for securing the bolt and a second pair for securing the nut. Turn both fasteners in order to close the cams on both washer pairs before tightening to minimize settlements. Keep the nut secured while tightening the bolt.

Stud bolts Nord-Lock washers safely lock the nut on stud bolts and eliminate the need for adhesives.

Applications with large / slotted holes or soft underlying surfaces To optimize the load distribution for applications with large / slotted holes or with soft underlying surface, use a flanged nut / bolt together with Nord-Lock SP washers with enlarged outer diameter.
Large / slotted holes Soft underlying surfaces

Designs where Nord-Lock washers are not recommended Mating surfaces that are not locked in place (see left figure) Mating surfaces harder than the washers Very soft mating surface, e.g. wood, plastic Applications with extremely large settlements Non-preloaded joints If your application corresponds to one or more of the mentioned design critera, contact your Nord-Lock representative and we will help you nd an alternative solution.

Nord-Lock washers with enlarged outer diameter


Nord-Lock washers are available with an enlarged outer diameter, referred to as SP washers. SP washers are designed for use on large / slotted holes, painted / sensitive surfaces or soft materials. Use Nord-Lock SP washers with flanged bolts or nuts for optimum load distribution.
inner regular = inner SP outer regular < outer SP

A anged nut and Nord-Lock SP washers increase the load supporting surface for applications with slotted holes.

By using SP washers, the load is distributed over a larger surface which can be more gentle for sensitive surfaces. Please consult Nord-Lock to find the optimal solution for your application.

Uniform friction with Nord-Lock


It is important to have control over the friction conditions in order to obtain the desired preload when tightening a joint.
Untightening Tightening

Load [kN]

Regular nut M8 on steel without washer

When no washer is used under the fastener, the friction depends on the contact surface. At a given torque, the obtained preload will vary depending on the contact material.

Tightening Regular nut M8 on steel with Nord-Lock

When using Nord-Lock washers, sliding always occurs between the upper washer and the bolt head / nut. At a given torque, the preload will be the same, regardless of the contact material. Nord-Lock provides customized torque guidelines for your application, contact your nearest representative.
