design and all-metal construction of the

HARDLOCK Nut, it can be used repeatedly
while maintaining a strong loosening prevention effect with minimal damage to the
thread due to wear The powerful anti-loosening effect and reusability of the HARDLOCK Nut can significantly reduce
maintenance costs associated with frequent
inspection and retightening.
The HARDLOCK Nut can be positioned
at any desired point on a bolt and can maintain a strong anti-loosening effect simply by
maintaining the torque of the concave nut in
accordance to the designated tightening
torque. This allows the nut to be fixed
strongly in the desired position on the bolt
and in places where strong tightening was
not previously possible, such as rail joints
and rotating and moving parts.
The HARDLOCK Nut is widely used and
respected worldwide in various industries,
including: railroad (rail cars and track),
building construction, industrial machinery,
heavy equipment, and plants (such as
oil/gas/energy). The HARDLOCK Nut is now
available for sale in the following materials
and surface finishes:
low carbon steelISO Class 4/5 equivalent to SAE Grade 2. Surface finish: CR3
(zinc plated trivalent chromate coating);
mediunn carbon steelISO Class 8
