As trains and railway networks become more advanced, so do the demands on rail lines and train components. BOLT LOOSENING ANYWHERE ON RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE AND ROLLING STOCK CAN BE COSTLY, AND EVEN DANGEROUS IF A TRAIN IS IN MOTION.
When a train is traveling at over 300 km/h, the whole carriage is rattled with constant vibration and strain, putting bolted connections to test. However, checking and tightening bolted joints is time-consuming, tedious work; the tracks are long, and switch types are many. We have bolting solutions to ensure that bolts stay put, but also cutting-edge digital solutions to continuously monitor preload force.
OEMs can rely on Nord-Lock wedge-locking technology to safely secure critical bolted connections. When bolted joint integrity is of utmost importance, use Nord-Lock washers. Our washers are used on roller system devices for railway points, rail absorber, noise absorbing walls, switch machines and more.
