Nord-Lock - Stand No. 192 For two decades Nord-Lock self-locking washers have provided 100% safety for bolted joints. This unique bolt securing system uses tension instead of friction. When the bolt and/ or nut is tightened, the teeth grip and seat on the mating surfaces. The teeth lock the nord-lock system in place, allowing movement only across the face of the cams. The tension created makes the bolt self-locking. Nord-Lock will be demonstrating their wedge action vibration proof bolt securing systems on the stand. A comparative demonstration of various styles of fasteners will be tested under vibration conditions using a junkers machine.
