Tapped holes
Nord-Lock X-series washers safely lock the bolt against the underlying surface.
|
 |
Counterbores
The outer diameter of Nord-Lock X-series washers is designed for counterbore holes (i.e., the washers fit under the head of standard bolts).
|
 |
Through-holes
As for all locking washers, through-holes require two pairs of Nord-Lock X-series washers — one pair for securing the bolt and a second pair for securing the nut.
|
 |
Stud bolts
Nord-Lock X-series washers safely lock the nut on stud bolts and eliminate the need for adhesives.

Applications with large / slotted holes
To optimize the load distribution for applications with large/slotted holes, use a flanged nut/bolt together with Nord-Lock X-series “SP” washers with enlarged outer diameter.

Designs where Nord-Lock X-series washers are not recommended:
- Mating surfaces that are not locked in place (see left figure)
- Mating surfaces harder than the washers
- Wooden mating surfaces
