- Force-fit, static and dynamic transmission of the operating load via the braced components
- Strength classes up to 12.9 or A80
- Circular hole and slotted hole connections (See also NSK-L for small installation spaces)
Special features
- Suitable for high preload forces
- Defined, constant coefficient of friction
- Increases the flexibility of the screw connection
- Special spring characteristics / optimum residual spring behaviour for strength classes 10.9 and 12.9 (Spring characteristics stored e.g. at M-Design)
- Locking element to prevent loosening & automatic unscrewing
- Complies with standards DIN 267-26, DIN 25201-4, DIN EN 17976

Applications
Why do screw connections come loose?
How does an NSK-B work?
Force-locking effect with curved geometry matched to the preload force depending on the strength class
- Increases the flexibility of a bolted joint
- Prevents slackening effects and supports the locking effect against selfacting loosening
Form locking effect due to the interlocking under the screw head or on the nut
- Supports the locking effect against selfacting loosening
How are NSK-B tested?
Minimum residual spring force test according to DIN 267-26
Force measurement, if the screw connection is relieved by 20μm (Technical specifications for conical spring steel washers for bolted joints)
Friction coefficients are determined in accordance with DIN 16047
The decisive factors for a constant and defined coefficient of friction with low tolerance are:
a.) the form of the connecting element
b.) the surface coating of the connecting element
Vibration test according to DIN 65151 & DIN 25201-4 Annex B.
- Application-orientated testing on circular-holes and slotted holes
- Internal testing equipment are verified by external institutes.
Pressure cone test
Deflection tests
The functional properties and tests for slotted hole connections are not defined in standards. The tests, carried out by teckentrup SLI, are used for orientation.
The properties and testing methode for slotted hole connections must be specified by the user.

The securing effect of the NSK-B and NSK-L on slotted holes is verified using a wide range of test methods. The hole clearance in the transverse direction corresponds to normal holes (DIN EN 20273; tolerance class H 13, medium). Furthermore, slotted hole edges are always deburred. For your own applications, it is recommended that you carry out your own tests with specialised personnel.
