POWERLOK® screws

POWERLOK^® screw is the solution for your loosening problems on tapped holes and reduces in-place fastening costs.

TRILOBULAR® POWERLOK^®screw for metal is a unique locking concept solution for tapped holes: the thread design provides a locking action over its entire length, regardless of the fastened materials and operating temperatures.

POWERLOK^®screw benefits

• Immediate and continuous locking action.
• In-place fastening cost reduction by eliminating the need for additional locking elements.
• Excellent vibration loosening resistance.
• The spring effect maintains clamping force.

How do POWERLOK^® screws work?

The innovative Dual-Angle™ thread form provides “live-action” locking.

It interferes with the root of the nut thread, which removes any tolerance.

To ensure the correct screw performance, the screw’s hardness must be greater than the nut's.

We recommend contacting our technical department to ensure the suitability of POWERLOK^® screws for your application.
