Nord-Lock Tensioners
Since 2012, Berardi Fasteners is an authorized distributor of Nord-Lock, a Swedish company that is an international leader in fastenings for bolted joints subject to strong vibrations and dynamic loads.
Nord-Lock is not just Tensioners
Superbolt tensioners are designed to replace conventional nuts and bolts. They can be threaded onto a new or existing bolt, stud, threaded rod or shaft.
The main thread positions the tensioner on the bolt or stud against hardened washer and load bearing surface. After the thread is put in place, actual bolt or stud tensioning is accomplished with simple hand tools by torquing the jackbolts encircling the main thread. The jackbolts transfer the preload evenly into the main thread and, consequently, onto the joint. The main thread is tightened in pure tension.

Boltight has been the cutting edge of hydraulic fastening for over a decade. These tensioning tools provide fast, accurate and safe solutions to tighten and loosen various bolts at a time.
The Expander System is a permanent solution for pivot wear, a common reason for equipment breakdowns. It is a cost effective repair or add-on to new machines for preventive purposes. The technology eliminates the need for welding and line boring, while also allowing greater tolerances.
