NSK-SStrength classes < 8.8
Areas of application
- Force-fit screw connections for static and dynamic transmission of the operating load via the braced components with low strength classes below 8.8
- Ideal for the substitution of fasteners whose standards have been withdrawn:
- Serrated lock washers (DIN 6798)
- Spring washers / profile rings (DIN 127,128, 6905, 7980)
- Spring and profile discs (DIN 137, 6904)
- Toothed discs (DIN6797, 6906)
Special features
- Suitable for low preload forces
- Defined, constant coefficient of friction
- Increases the flexibility of the screw connection
- Special spring characteristics / optimum residual spring behaviour for strength classes < 8.8 (Characteristic spring curves shown in M-Design)
- Locking element to prevent loosening & automatic unscrewing
Comparison of possible solutions for stressed screw connections up to and including strength class 8.8

Applications
Why do screw connections come loose?
How does an NSK-S 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-S 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
