- Nord-Lock | TSP Mfg.
OUR PRODUCTS Nord-Lock Washers Home / Products / Standard Products / Nord-Lock / TSP Manufacturing + Nord-Lock TSP Manufacturing is proud to be Nord-Lock’s preferred distributor to the energy industry, providing advanced wedge-locking solutions for bolted joints subjected to extreme vibration and dynamic loads. TSP Manufacturing offers both prepackaged and custom quantities of Nord-Lock products, along with expert technical product support. PRODUCT INFORMATION Nord-Lock Washers Nord-Lock washers are easy and effective to use while ensuring structural security for applications exposed to vibration and dynamic loads. Installing the washers The pre-assembled washers are installed in pairs, cam face to cam face. Lubrication is recommended when possible. Tightening Tighten Nord-Lock washers with standard tools according to the guidelines. Tightening guidelines for other bolt grades are available through our technical representatives. Untightening Untightening Nord-Lock washers is as simple as tightening. Note that since the locking function is not based on increased friction, the untightening torque is generally lower than the tightening torque. Therefore it is not possible to measure offtorque as verification of locking function. Reusing Nord-Lock Nord-Lock washers can normally be reused. As with all fasteners, they should be inspected for wear before reassembly. Make sure that the washers are reinstalled correctly cam face to cam face. Nord-Lock recommends lubrication of fasteners before reuse in order to minimize changes in friction conditions. WHEN ONLY THE BEST WILL DO Washer Materials We Stock: Delta Protekt Stainless steel 254 SMO INCONEL/HASTELLOY C-276 INCONEL 718 To order contact our team today CONTACT DOWNLOAD PRODUCT CATALOG Nord-Lock Washer Product Information A pair of washers for maximum safety Nord-Lock bolt securing solutions consist of a pair of washers with cams facing each other and serrations gripping the mating surfaces. They use cam-geometry to effectively prevent the bolt from vibrating loose. Tension prevents bolts from rotating loose Think of the bolt as a spring. Turning the fastener during tightening stretches the bolt like a spring, creating the required clamp load to hold the parts together. Nord-Lock washers secure bolted joints by increasing this clamp load if the bolt tries to rotate loose. When the fastener is tightened, the cams lock and the serrations on the outer faces of the washers grip into both the fastener and the clamped part, creating clear impression marks in both. Clamping load has been created by the bolt, keeping the assembly locked in place. Because the cam angle ‘α’ is greater than the thread pitch ‘β’ a wedge-locking effect secures the fastener against rotational loosening, even under the most severe conditions. When the fastener is untightened, sliding will occur between the two washers. The upper washer is locked to the nut or bolt head by the serrations. The lower washer does not rotate as its serrations are locked into the surface being clamped. As the cams slide over each other, the clamping load from the bolt is first increased as the bolt stretches, before being released as the cams pass each other.

- Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) | TSP Mfg.
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a highly precise manufacturing process used to create complex shapes and fine details in engineered fasteners and components. The EDM Process: 1. Setup: A workpiece (conductive material) is submerged in a dielectric fluid (e.g., deionized water or oil). A tool electrode (usually made of graphite, copper, or brass) is positioned close to the workpiece without touching it. 2. Electric Discharge: A controlled electrical current is applied between the electrode and the workpiece. This creates a spark that erodes a tiny portion of the workpiece material. 3. Material Removal: Thousands of sparks occur per second, removing material layer by layer. The dielectric fluid flushes away debris and cools the work area. 4. Precision Control: CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems are often used to guide the electrode, enabling precise and repeatable machining. Types of EDM: Sinker EDM: Uses a shaped electrode to “sink” into the material, ideal for creating cavities and complex 3D shapes. Wire EDM: Uses a thin wire as the electrode to cut intricate profiles, commonly used for parts requiring fine tolerances and sharp corners. Limitations Slow Material Removal Rate: Not ideal for high-volume production. Cost: More expensive compared to traditional machining for large, simple parts. Conductive Materials Only: Limited to materials that conduct electricity. Advantages of EDM: Complex Geometries: Can create intricate shapes, fine features, and internal cavities that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machining. High Precision: Allows for extremely tight tolerances, often down to microns. Material Versatility: Can work with hard-to-machine materials like titanium, Inconel, and hardened steels. No Mechanical Stress: Since it’s a non-contact process, there’s no physical force exerted on the workpiece. Applications in Engineered Fasteners: EDM is especially useful for fasteners and components that require: Intricate Details: Ideal for manufacturing custom, non-standard fasteners with unique shapes. Tight Tolerances: Critical in aerospace, robotics, and defense industries where precision is paramount. Hard Materials: Suitable for fasteners made from high-strength alloys that are challenging to machine conventionally. Prototyping: Useful for creating prototypes and low-volume production runs of specialty fasteners.

- Laser Marking | TSP Mfg.
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES Laser Marking Laser marking is a precise and non-contact process used to create permanent markings on engineered fasteners and components. It is often employed for identification, traceability, and branding purposes. The Laser Marking Process: 1. Laser Source: A laser beam, generated by a fiber, CO2, or Nd:YAG laser, is directed onto the surface of the material to create the marking. The type of laser used depends on the material and the desired marking effect. 2. Material Interaction: The high-energy laser interacts with the surface of the fastener or component, causing localized changes without damaging the structural integrity. These changes can include: Color change (annealing): Controlled oxidation that changes the surface color. Engraving: Ablating material to create a recess in the surface. Foaming: Raising material slightly to create a raised marking. Carbonization: Darkening certain areas for contrast. 3. Marking Design: Patterns, alphanumeric codes, logos, or 2D barcodes are programmed into the laser system and precisely applied to the surface. 4. Non-Contact Process: The laser operates without physically touching the material, ensuring no mechanical stress or deformation of the component. Why Use Laser Marking for Engineered Fasteners? Enhanced Quality Control: Ensures every fastener can be traced back to its origin for quality assurance. Customization: Enables detailed and consistent branding or functional markings. Minimal Downtime: Fast and efficient marking suitable for automated production lines. Limitations Initial Cost: Laser marking equipment can be expensive to purchase and set up. Material Sensitivity: Some materials require careful parameter adjustments to avoid unwanted effects. Marking Depth: For deep engravings, multiple passes or specialized lasers may be needed. Advantages of Laser Marking: Durability: Markings are permanent, resistant to wear, corrosion, and environmental conditions. Precision: Creates high-resolution, detailed markings without damaging the material. Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and nickel alloys. Efficiency: Fast marking speeds make it ideal for high-volume production. Non-Intrusive: No physical contact with the workpiece eliminates risks of deformation or mechanical damage.

- Hot Heading | TSP Mfg.
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES Hot Heading Hot heading is a manufacturing process used to produce engineered fasteners and components, especially when working with materials that are hard to deform at room temperature. The Hot Heading Process: 1. Material Heating: The metal is heated to a temperature at which it becomes malleable, typically below its melting point. Heating is performed using furnaces, induction heaters, or other methods, depending on the material type (e.g., titanium, nickel alloys). 2. Forming: The heated material is placed into a die and deformed by applying force through a punch. The heat allows the material to flow more easily, making it suitable for forming complex shapes or working with harder metals. 3. Multi-Stage Forming (Optional): Similar to cold heading, multiple stages of deformation may be required for intricate geometries. 4. Post-Process Treatments: The component may undergo further processes such as trimming, threading, heat treatment, or surface finishing to meet final specifications. Advantages of Hot Heading: Material Versatility: Enables forming of high-strength, low-ductility metals like titanium, nickel alloys, and certain stainless steels that are difficult to work with at room temperature. Enhanced Shape Complexity: Allows for the production of parts with complex geometries that cannot be achieved through cold heading alone. Improved Grain Structure: The process can refine the grain structure of the material, enhancing mechanical properties. Applications in Engineered Fasteners: Hot heading is often chosen for fasteners and components that require: Extreme Strength and Durability: Used in aerospace, nuclear, and defense applications where high-performance materials are critical. Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for marine and offshore environments where exposure to saltwater and harsh conditions is a concern. High-Temperature Performance: Ideal for turbomachinery or automotive applications where fasteners must endure elevated temperatures.

- Axial Tensile Test | TSP Mfg.
testing capabilities Axial Tensile Test An Axial Tensile Test measures the strength of a fastener or material when pulled along its longitudinal axis until failure. This test evaluates key mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation , which define how a material behaves under direct tension. For engineered fasteners, axial tensile testing is one of the most fundamental methods to ensure structural integrity and verify that components can withstand the loads expected in service. How the Test is Performed Specimen Preparation – A fastener or machined test piece is mounted in a tensile testing machine. Load Application – A controlled axial force is applied by pulling the specimen along its longitudinal axis. Monitoring Deformation – The machine records elongation, reduction in area, and applied load throughout the test. Failure Observation – The test continues until the fastener or specimen fractures, at which point the maximum load is recorded. Data Collection – Results are converted into stress-strain curves, providing detailed mechanical property data. Why It is Performed Axial tensile testing is performed to confirm that fasteners and components meet design load requirements and safety margins . This test verifies material performance, manufacturing consistency, and ensures that parts can reliably handle the stresses encountered in service. Determines ultimate tensile strength and yield strength Verifies ductility and elongation Confirms material processing and heat treatment effectiveness Prevents premature failure in critical applications Application to Engineered Fasteners Engineered fasteners are often subjected to direct tensile loads in bolted joints, structural connections, and machinery assemblies. Axial tensile testing ensures that these fasteners: Meet required tensile strength levels for high-stress environments Perform reliably in mission-critical applications such as aerospace, oil & gas, nuclear, and defense Withstand combined stresses when used with other loading conditions (shear, torsion, vibration) Provide assurance of joint integrity in safety-critical systems Standards & Compliance At TSP Manufacturing, axial tensile testing is performed in accordance with ASTM, ISO, and customer-specific standards to ensure precision and reliability.
