Challenge: Loose bolted connections in power conversion units can create a risk of fire, especially under vibration and thermal cycling.

Solution: Nord-Lock® wedge-locking washers secure electrical connections in power conversion cabinets, preventing loose bolts caused by vibration and thermal cycling, eliminating the risk of fires due to arcing, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Challenge: Aircraft elevators are subject to cyclic loading and vibration during launch and recovery operations. Loose fasteners can compromise safety and operational readiness.

Solution: Superbolt® tensioners provide secure, vibration-resistant fastening that maintains preload under repeated cycling. Their modular design allows for easy inspection and maintenance, supporting safe and reliable aircraft handling.

Challenge: Steam turbine generator systems operate under high temperature and pressure, requiring bolted joints that maintain seal integrity and allow for periodic maintenance.

Solution: Boltight® hydraulic tensioners deliver uniform preload across steam chest flanges, improving gasket sealing and reducing thermal fatigue. Their fast, tool-free operation supports safer and more efficient maintenance cycles.

Challenge: Propulsion shafts must remain precisely aligned to prevent vibration, wear, and energy loss. Bearing foundations are critical to maintaining this alignment.

Solution: Superbolt tensioners provide consistent clamping force across bearing mounts, preserving alignment and reducing shaft wear. Their ease of use supports quick re-tensioning during scheduled maintenance.

Challenge: Shaft couplings in legacy vessels require durable, easy-to-maintain bolting solutions that can withstand long service intervals.

Solution: Superbolt coupling bolts offer high-strength, reusable fastening that maintains preload over time. Their design simplifies installation and inspection, reducing labor requirements on aging platforms.
