In this animated video, we explain the principle behind Nord-Lock washers - the original wedge-locking technology that secures bolted joints, even when exposed to severe vibration and dynamic loads.

No challenge too big or too small for the Tensioning team!

These custom nickel-plated M10 tensioners just left Pittsburgh - the smallest Boltight product ever shipped from our US facility!

"It was clear that the assembly was showing far less wear than you would expect from a standard pin.”

See how Kafril Group upgraded their Hitachi Excavator with Expander System pivot pins to minimize wear and stay competitive in the demolition business.

“There’s a huge amount of knowlegde behind engineering a nut or bolt that can actually measure the preload force, but it's way more difficult to connect the internet to that bolt.”

A key advantage is that Nord-Lock Group #SMART solutions can collect and store large amounts of data, which can be analyzed to detect patterns and trends.

[Nord-Lock Group @NordLockGroup]

You don’t need additional skills or specialist knowledge to use our products. The plug-and-play systems can be used by an operator with a handheld device to read out preload during installation/maintenance checks, then left to transmit data during the lifetime of the application.

As wind turbines get bigger, in increasingly harsh environments or on floating platforms, bolted connections are reaching their capacity limits and are often complex to design, install, and maintain.

Part 5 of 6: Getting to Know #Boltight

Hydraulic nuts are permanent replacements for standard nuts and, unlike most of the Boltight range, are designed to remain on the application after tensioning – ideal for working in restricted spaces.
