Efficient, accurate and cost-effective bolt securing

Think of maintenance, repair and operations performed on a radio mast hundreds of metres above ground. While mounting a pair of washers is not a complex task, working in certain settings can make it more difficult and risky than expected. As Nord-Lock products aim to minimise the danger caused by loose parts, dropping a pair of washers is a different story.

Maxime Thonnerieux, Director Performance Services and R&D, says: "For our customers dealing with highly secured applications, relying on a strong and trusted solutions, minimising the risk of error and levelling up the reliability of the joining process is more than a key to success. It's a necessity."

The Nord-Lock combi bolt combines the convenience of a combi bolt with the superior locking capacity of Nord-Lock's proven wedge locking washers. With the Nord-Lock combi bolt you can be sure that you have all bolt parts in the right place, regardless of where you perform maintenance. The combi bolt brings numerous advantages to small or hard to reach applications where it is tricky to mount separate components or where dropping bolt parts can cause serious difficulties and delays.

Maxime adds: "Having investigated several hundred of bolted joints failures, I can tell that the major part of theses failures occurred due to absence of a washer, difficult joining conditions, or inadequate product use. With the Nord-Lock combi-bolt we bring our customer a solution that is reliable and cost-efficient."

If MRO is performed in settings where having a number of loose parts is problematic and incorrectly mounted or forgotten washers can put all operations in jeopardy, the Nord Lock combi bolt is an answer.

This new product offers an option to customers seeking to generally rationalise or minimize part count for inventory and logistics. A tightened Nord-Lock combi bolt cannot loosen by itself.

With the Nord-Lock combi bolt you are able to:

• Ensure faster product assembly, thanks to pre-assembled and pre-lubricated parts
• Decrease failures related to human error, incorrect mounting or neglecting putting on the washers
• Facilitate product assembly with very small sizes
• Maintain and repair in either difficult surroundings or areas of limited access faster, easier and safer
• Ensure secured tightening conditions by having the control on both washer and screw
• Facilitate inventory and logistical savings due to reduced item numbers
• Make disassembly faster and easier as loose washers can be difficult to remove (especially from counter bore holes)
