The globally recognized HLN Hardlock Nut

Leveraging the power of the wedge principle used in ancient Japanese architecture, the HLN Hardlock Nut is the ultimate self-locking nut which completely integrates the nut and the bolt.

Self-locking design

HLN structure

The HLN Hardlock Nut has a structure that prevents looseness through the traditional Japanese principle of the wedge. To effectively utilize the wedge structure, two nuts are used: (1) a convex nut with an eccentrically formed boss, and (2) a perfectly circular concave nut. When these nuts are fastened together, the wedge principle mechanically creates a powerful locking effect transverse to the bolt shaft. This powerful anti-loosening effect achieved with the HLN Hardlock Nut wedge completely fuses the bolt and nut. Once locked with this powerful force, the HLN Hardlock Nut is not susceptible to impulsive forces or shocks.

Improved workability

HLN working efficiency

When a HLN Hardlock Nut concave nut with a rim is tightened, the tightening tool does not attach to the convex nut, greatly increasing the workability compared to conventional nuts.
