Product overview

Built for secure, serviceable joints.

Nord-Lock SC-Washers use paired cams and radial serrations to resist rotational loosening in steel construction. Their geometry allows them to replace a plain or chamfered washer in compatible structural bolting assemblies.

  • Wedge-locking security for structural bolting
  • Suitable for compatible preloaded and non-preloaded assemblies
  • Can replace a standard plain or chamfered washer in suitable joints
  • Resists vibration without relying on added friction
  • Clear mechanical locking principle for critical connections

How it works

Made for steel construction joints

The pair sits beneath the nut or bolt head, with serrations against the mating surfaces and cams facing inward.

01

Seat the washer pair

The construction washer is installed in the location normally occupied by the compatible plain washer.

02

Engage the serrations

Tightening allows the outer teeth to grip the fastener and steel joint surfaces.

03

Block rotation

Any loosening movement is redirected between the cams and opposed by the wedge effect.

04

Verify the assembly

Bolt grade, assembly standard, dimensions and preload requirements must be checked for the complete joint.
