How it works
Nord Lock washers are designed to help secure bolted joints using a wedge-locking principle. The washer system works as a pair, with cams on one side and serrations on the other, creating a locking effect that helps resist loosening in demanding conditions.
This makes Nord Lock washers a practical choice where standard washer arrangements may not offer the same level of joint security. For buyers, the key selection points usually come down to bolt size, material choice and the operating conditions of the assembly.
When to use
Common buying situations
- When bolted joints are exposed to vibration or dynamic movement.
- When application reliability makes joint security a higher priority.
- When buyers need a locking washer solution rather than a standard plain washer.
- When maintenance teams want a washer option matched to demanding operating environments.
What to compare
- Washer size matched to the bolt or fastener setup.
- Material selection for the operating environment.
- Joint type, mating surfaces and assembly arrangement.
- Whether the application involves higher vibration, load movement or more demanding service conditions.
Selection checklist
- Match the washer size to the bolt size used in the joint.
- Check the washer material against the operating environment.
- Confirm the application needs a locking washer solution, not only a standard washer.
- Review whether vibration or dynamic loading is part of the service condition.
- Make sure the joint setup and mating surfaces suit the washer arrangement.
- Verify the final product specification on the item page before buying.
