Nord-Lock Demonstration Video

Got more than I expected, thank you for the information.

Wow. This video is so direct and informative you forget that it is advertising something. Best nut video I have ever seen.

Im going to use them on My headers

The video acknowledges that the bolt must stretch to loosen the nut. But then it claims that there is no risk of over-stretching the bolt. If the bolt were tightened to its theoretical maximum, then stretching it some more would clearly exceed it's elastic limit. They really should provide a percentage value by witch you have to lower the maximum torque, in order to accommodate the extra stretching required to release the fastener.

@nowheretosit

Hi

I think the comparison they make is no matter the torque you use on an alternative method (adhesive, locking nut etc...) it will eventually fail. Using the correct torque with fasteners is crucial, but some fail to consider this. Using the correct torque with Nordlock removes the likely hood of stretched threads and as the angle of the thread is less than the angle on the cam washer, it will not come undone unless you intend it to.

looks like good solution...

[utacadmonkey]

Wow, made a believer out of me!

[CheatinChad]

Brilliant.

[ALCATOOLS]

It's because the rake angle of the teeth is a greater angle than that of the thread form.

[jeffgooloolie]

Nordlock assumes the teeth side does not fail, so why is this any different than a washer with teeth on both sides.

[Asestar]

We use nordlock in Norway for railways. Best thing ever made. Expensive, but good.

[Razersun]

nuts and bolts gone all scientific with math and shit

[68ray]

Sweet.

What about rust & corrosion. I always use Loctite, then not only does it keep it together it lets me get it apart!

[ace2a66d20]

@shansen5150 you could use a non drying silicone, that would keep out the moisture, preventing corrosion and lubricate the joint.

[shansen5150]

@ace2a66d20 then wouldn't I have to do two steps. I would like to not add work into my processes.

Great video mate, ill spred the word!!!!! Nord-Lock!!

[antoscooter]

Excellent Vid.Very informative

[Sh0wtym3]

I need some of those for my motorcycle

[mouloodahmadshahid]

excellent
