Bolt-securing washers
Nord-Lock adds a new dimension of safety to bolt security with the launch of the Nord-Lock X-series washer. X-series combines Nord-Lock’s wedge-locking protection against spontaneous bolt loosening (due to vibration and dynamic loads), along with a spring effect that protects against slackening due to settlement and relaxation. This unique combination makes X-series a true, multifunctional solution, offering the highest security for critical joints without compromise.
As with Nord-Lock’s original washers, each washer pair has cams on one side and radial teeth on the opposite side to secure the bolted joint with tension instead of friction. The Nord-Lock X-series washers’ conical shape also creates an elastic reserve in the bolted joint to compensate for the loss of pre-load and prevent slackening. Nord-Lock X-series ensures total bolt security, while simplifying design and maintenance, since there’s no need to use or stock multiple solutions.
