Lock nuts for demanding industrial applications
When operational reliability is crucial, Otto Olsen AS delivers lock nuts developed for demanding and safety-critical applications. Our solutions are designed for environments with high vibration, mechanical stress and long service life requirements.
As a distributor of Lanfranco in Norway, we offer a wide range of lock nuts and related fastening solutions for industry, energy, infrastructure and transport. The range includes both all-metal lock nuts and nuts with nylon inserts in several dimensions, materials and strength classes.
High vibration resistance lock nuts
Lock nuts are used where ordinary nuts can loosen over time due to vibration, temperature variations or dynamic loading. The solutions are designed to ensure stable and reliable clamping without damaging bolt threads or requiring special tools during assembly.
We deliver solutions for both new constructions and maintenance of existing facilities.
Our range of lock nuts
All Metal Locknuts
All-metal lock nuts are designed for use in demanding conditions where plastic inserts are not suitable. They withstand high temperatures, corrosive environments and continuous vibration. These solutions are used where long service life and high mechanical safety are essential.
We deliver, among other things:
- Double groove lock nuts (ESL and ERM)
- Thread sizes from M2–M48 and inch dimensions
- Carbon steel, stainless steel and special materials
- Several types of locking mechanisms/tracks
- Mechanical strength classes from class 04 to 12
- Surface treatments such as GEOMET® and similar corrosion protection
Nylon Insert Locknuts
For applications with other locking requirements, we also offer self-locking hex nuts with nylon inserts.
These provide a stable locking torque and are also available with high-temperature nylon for more demanding operating conditions.
Available finishes include:
- Metric and imperial dimensions
- NE, NU and NUT variants
- UNJC and UNJF gangs
- Solutions according to military standards
Bolts and washers for complete fastening solutions
In addition to lock nuts, we supply associated components for complete fastening systems.
The range includes, among other things:
- Specially turned bolts
- T-bolts in metric and imperial dimensions
- ISO 4014 and ISO 4017 bolts
- Large dimensions for heavy constructions
- A4-80 stainless bolts
- Zinc flake coated solutions for corrosive environments
- Hardened discs according to ASTM F436
- Disc washers and special washers according to ISO and NFE
Typical applications
Railway and rail transport
In railways, lock nuts are used in components that are exposed to continuous vibrations and dynamic loads.
Typical applications include rail and sleeper fasteners, bogies, brake systems and other structures where secure attachment is critical for operation and maintenance.
Energy
In the energy sector, lock nuts are used in installations that require high reliability over long periods of time. The solutions are used in wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants and other energy systems where the components are exposed to alternating loads and demanding operating environments.
Oil and gas
In the oil and gas industry, lock nuts are used in environments with vibrations, corrosion and high mechanical stress. The products are well suited for offshore installations and other process equipment where secure and stable fastening is required.
Construction and infrastructure
In construction projects, lock nuts are used in structures where long service life and high mechanical safety are important. Typical applications are bridges, elevators, steel structures and other installations that are subject to movement or repeated loads.
Industry and process
In industrial and process plants, lock nuts are used in machinery and rotating equipment where vibrations can cause standard fastening solutions to loosen over time. This includes pumps, motors, transmissions and production equipment.
