The Nord-Lock wheel nut safely secures wheels on on-road and off-road heavy vehicles by maintaining high clamping force even under extreme operating conditionsThe Wedge Lock Nut incorporates a re-engi- neered pair of Nord-Lock washers secured to a flanged nut. The outside of the washers has radial teeth, which grip and seat the mating surfaces when the Wedge Lock Nut is tightened. Additionally, the inside of the washers forms a wedge, making the pitch greater than the thread pitch of the bolt. When assembled correctly, the Nord-Lock wheel nut cannot loosen by itself. It represents a simple and cost effective way to make wheels safe and secure for more productive and efficient operations. The Nord-Lock wheel nut is designed for flat-faced steel rims.
