Uni-Torque ®

UNI-TORQUE® all-metal top lock nuts from TRAMEC Fastener Service provide exactly that. The spring action of the locking thread permits locking efficiency over the entire range of bolt thread tolerances.

The horizontally opposed deflections at the top of the nut create an oval contact surface that “flexes” with vibration; always returning to an at-rest position that maintains clamp load. Even in high-heat environments.

This “flexability” permits fastener reuse many times without galling, seizing or appreciable loss in locking torque. The fact the “lock” is near the top of the nut allows more free-running threads before the locking threads engage.


Whiz-Lock ®

Whiz-Lock one-piece, all-metal, free-spinning nuts and screws have been proven to overcome vibration and a variety of other forces. Tests have shown it takes an average of 30 percent more torque to remove a Whiz-Lock nut and screw than it took to apply them.

The underside or bearing surface side of a Whiz-Lock fas-tener has a series of spiraling serrations or teeth. The number, height, shape and curve of the teeth are important features in producing the high breakloose (off) torque in comparison to application (on) torque. Yet, application is as simple as spinning them on.
