The Hardlock Nut is a simple fastener that enhances build quality. \u00a0For decades Hitachi have specified Hardlock as a self-locking nut on applications throughout their range of trains and rolling stock.<\/p>\n
Why Hardlock? \u00a0Because Hardlock has the ability to resist loosening caused by vibration. \u00a0It is a reusable product that retains the same level of locking ability after many uses. \u00a0It has been adopted by other Japanese train manufacturers because it improves the final product.<\/p>\n
What about your products? \u00a0Hardlock is a simple versatile solution that enhances fastening integrity. \u00a0For minimal cost expensive machinery can be better protected from the effects of vibration. \u00a0Another benefit is that it reduces subsequent time-consuming checking and inspection for loose fastenings. \u00a0The replacement of non-reusable locking nuts when maintenance is required is also unnecessary.<\/p>\n
Network Rail have fitted over 500,000 Hardlock Nuts on safety-critical track point (S&C) applications. This is a vote of confidence.<\/p>\n
