【Maintenance Improvement】Significantly improved work time and reliability regarding bolt fastening!
Nord-Lock Group's bolt fastening solutions
In most cases, it is possible to significantly improve the situations where bolts "loosen," "break," or where "working time" and "workload" are involved.
In various plant maintenance activities, the removal and re-tightening of bolts is rarely the "goal." Nevertheless, the reality is that addressing issues such as breakage and loosening, as well as the removal and re-tightening process itself, often requires significant time and cost. ■ Events where improvements can be expected (examples) - Loosening of bolts and nuts - Fatigue failure of bolts or breakage for unknown reasons - Reduction of time for bolt removal/re-tightening - Need for reliable measures for fastening parts that require high precision in axial force - Measures to eliminate the need for cranes in the removal/re-tightening of large-diameter bolts - Significant reduction in work time for the removal/re-tightening of large-diameter bolts - Significant reduction in physical strain from the removal/re-tightening of large-diameter bolts - Eradication of galling and seizing - Play in movable parts (due to wear in pin holes) - Elimination of the need for complete part replacement due to wear in movable parts - Elimination of costly service requests due to wear in movable parts - Elimination of the need for bushing replacement due to wear in movable parts Most of the above events can be improved in nearly all cases.

Company information
Nortlock Japan Co., Ltd. aims to be a partner in solving all bolt fastening challenges, centered around four brands: the "Nortlock Washer," a locking mechanism that does not rely on friction and prevents loosening; the "Superbolt," which allows enormous bolts and nuts that cannot be tightened by hand to be tightened with just one torque wrench; the "Boltight," which can simultaneously tighten multiple large-diameter bolts with uniform pressure; and the "Expander," a pivot pin for construction and heavy machinery that can be used semi-permanently.
