ciency, accuracy <strong>and</strong> safety of an<br />
<strong>assembly</strong>, while at the same time<br />
keeping inventory <strong>and</strong> part count<br />
at a minimum.<br />
The concept of bolts with captivated<br />
washers has been around<br />
for several decades, bringing<br />
numerous advantages to <strong>assembly</strong><br />
lines <strong>and</strong> maintenance <strong>and</strong> repair<br />
settings in all kinds of industries.<br />
Nord-Lock takes the combi bolt<br />
concept to a whole new dimension<br />
by incorporating the superior<br />
safety functions of the wedge<br />
locking washer. The Nord-Lock<br />
combi bolt is offered as a custom<br />
made product, so the parts can be<br />
adapted to specific requirements.<br />
Loose parts damaging or shutting<br />
down <strong>assembly</strong> lines during<br />
manufacturing or maintenance<br />
can be very costly. With the<br />
combi bolt, users can rest assured<br />
that the parts are not only safely<br />
secured, but also correctly assembled.<br />
Furthermore, the combi bolt<br />
is as simple to use in the field as it<br />
is in confined spaces or areas<br />
where access is difficult.<br />
Nord-Lock secures bolted<br />
joints with tension instead of friction.<br />
The system is comprised of a<br />
pair of washers that has cams on<br />
one side <strong>and</strong> radial teeth on the<br />
opposite side. Since the cam<br />
angle (β) is greater than the thread<br />
pitch (β) a wedge effect is created<br />
by the cams (see diagram), preventing<br />
the bolt from rotating<br />
loose. The system is proven as a<br />
safe bolt securing system according<br />
to NASM 1312-7 tests performed<br />
by the independent organisation<br />
Det Norske Veritas<br />
(DNV).<br />
