Challenge: Bolts on electrical conduits and piping in both surface and sub-surface vessels can loosen due to vibration, compromising safety and reliability.

Solution: Nord-Lock® wedge-locking washers ensure conduits and piping retain a secure bolted connection, even under constant vibration, maintaining clamp force over time, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding environments.

Challenge: High-pressure hydraulic systems are essential for steering, weapons handling, and control surfaces. These systems are subject to vibration, pressure cycling, and confined-space constraints.

Solution: Superbolt® tensioners provide vibration-resistant bolting for hydraulic foundation mounts, ensuring consistent preload and structural integrity. Their multi-jackbolt design allows for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and improving system reliability.

Challenge: Submerged launch systems must maintain secure mounting and operational reliability under pressure and vibration. Bolted joints must resist corrosion and ensure precise alignment.

Solution: Superbolt tensioners deliver high-strength, vibration-resistant bolting for signal launcher interfaces. Their corrosion-resistant materials and uniform preload capabilities support long-term performance in submerged environments.

Challenge: Underwater launch systems require consistent preload and corrosion resistance to maintain operational integrity and reduce maintenance frequency.

Solution: Boltight® hydraulic tensioners enable fast, accurate preload across launcher mounting bolts, improving seal integrity and alignment. Boltight subsea tensioners are specifically configured for subsea applications. The nickel-plated exterior provides excellent anti-corrosion properties. The tools are fitted with Boltight composite material high-pressure seals, which clip into place and require no adjustment.
