Higher demands for functionality and comfort at winter resorts applies to ropeways, gondola lifts and aerial tramways. Nord-Lock washers secure bolted connections to ensure you really stay safe no matter what peak you are at.

How does it work? 
Think of the bolt as a spring. Turning the fastener during tightening stretches the bolt like a spring, creating the required clamp load to hold parts together. Nord-Lock washers secure bolted joints by increasing this clamp load if the bolt tries to rotate loose.

Check out how washers perform during a tough vibration test!

The biggest challenge for a bolted joint, causing it to lose preload and fail, is spontaneous loosening often caused by vibrations. This test shows all 5 nuts stays secured using Nord-Lock washers. A straight line in the graph indicates a success. Read more about the Junker Test.
