Key challenges

How to prevent bolted joints from loosening in artillery systems exposed to shock and recoil?

Repeated firing and transport create extreme shock and vibration, causing joints to loosen and affect accuracy and safety. Nord-Lock® wedge-locking washers secure the joint and maintain clamp load under dynamic conditions.

How to maintain consistent preload in weapon systems under dynamic loads?

Shock, recoil, and vibration can reduce preload, leading to joint instability and increased wear. Superbolt® multi-jackbolt tensioners deliver high and uniform preload for stable and reliable performance.

How to achieve high preload in large fasteners used in artillery systems?

Large fasteners require high preload, but conventional methods often result in uneven or insufficient tension. Superbolt® tensioners enable precise preload using low installation torque, ensuring reliable joint integrity.

How to simplify installation in confined areas within artillery systems?

Limited access in turrets and structures makes installation difficult and increases the risk of improper tightening. Superbolt® tensioners use simple hand tools, enabling safer and more reliable installation in restricted spaces.
