The Swedish wedge-locking solutions manufacturer Nord-Lock range of securing washers, distributed and supported by industrial equipment supplier BMG, is reportedly the only brand on the market that currently displays the European CE quality mark of approval.

“The prestigious CE marking is certification that these wedge-locking washers adhere to stringent safety and quality regulations required in the building and construction industry,” says BMG fasteners sales manager Maryna Werner.

She adds that BMG takes extreme care in the selection of quality branded components throughout the entire product range.

“The company’s supply encompasses bearings, seals and gaskets, power transmission components, drives and motors, materials handling, tools and fasteners, agricultural products, hydraulics, filtration and lubrication,” she points out.

Further the BMG fasteners team is proud to supply and support Nord-Lock wedge-lock washers, as “the most important benefit of Nord-Lock washers now carrying the CE marking is that building and construction businesses have the assurance of compliance and safety”.

With a locking mechanism that uses tension instead of friction, Nord-Lock washers keep bolted connections tight and secure and, even when subjected to severe vibrations, heat cycling and dynamic loads, operators are assured that bolts will stay in place.

BMG specialists work closely with customers in all sectors, to offer a complete service solution, where technical expertise supports quality structural fasteners and fastening components.

The team offers an important service to determine the dimensions and load conditions of existing or required bolted joints.

Current tightening methods are evaluated and bolt preloads, for absolute reliability and durability, are calculated.

Werner concludes that BMG, which is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year, knows this quality range reinforces its pledge to delivering excellence and provides its customers with a competitive edge in their operations.
