DESCRIPTION

Standard Washer Nord-Lock 316L Stainless Steel M18x29.0x3.2 (Box=1)

(Price per unit)

Nord-Lock is the Swedish inventor / manufacturer of the wedge-locking fastener security system.

  • Nord-Lock Washers are a locking washer system made from two matching washers.
  • They feature radial teeth on the outer surfaces and cam surfaces on the inner faces.
  • When installed correctly, the cam angle is greater than the bolt thread pitch.
  • If the bolt attempts to rotate loose, the washer design forces the bolt to move upward instead, increasing tension and preventing loosening.
  • This creates a secure joint that remains tight even under severe vibration and dynamic loading.

Benefits

The patented wedge-locking system prevents fasteners from loosening when exposed to vibration and dynamic forces.

  • It works by using a wedge-locking effect to maintain joint security.
  • The design does not rely on additional components such as:
    • Springs
    • Thread-locking adhesives
    • Nylon locking inserts
  • This provides a reliable mechanical locking solution for applications where fastener integrity is critical.

Common Applications:

  • Heavy machinery and industrial equipment
  • Mining operations
  • Wind turbine structures
  • Railway and transport systems
  • Other safety-critical bolted connections where loosening cannot be tolerated.

Available Materials and Coatings:

  • Delta Protekt zinc flake coating for corrosion protection
  • A4-70 grade G316 stainless steel for harsh or corrosive environments

To ensure optimum strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance, washers should be selected from a material compatible with the bolt and nut. For example, use stainless steel washers with stainless steel fasteners, and galvanised washers with galvanised fasteners.
