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 />
